10 Giants Who Failed In WWE
WWE can't love every big man
6. Gene Snitsky
Developmental prospect Gene Snitsky practically lucked into his featured role and feud with Kane, which came about as the result of a rather distasteful angle where the big man caused The Big Red Machine to fall on Lita, resulting in her (storyline) miscarriage.
The Kane feud proved to be an early peak, as from there Gene bounced around as something of a utility monster-of-the-week with a foot fetish, before floundering in makeshift tag teams with the likes of Tyson Tomko and Goldust.
In an attempt to revive his career, he underwent a drastic physical transformation, shaving off all of his hair (including the eyebrows) and colouring his teeth a dark yellow.
This, coupled with his all-over body acne made him look positively grotesque. He enjoyed a renewed push, first on the revamped ECW brand and then back on Raw, but WWE never pulled the trigger proper and Snitsky was given his release in late 2008.
He left on good terms, though expressed frustration with how he was being used at the end of his run.
