"Black Jesus" Gene Snitsky (also spelled as Gene
Snisky; listed from Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania) is a professional wrestler
currently performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand.
****
Early career
Snitsky is a graduate of the Wild Samoan Training
Center and wrestled in Ohio Valley Wrestling as Mean Gene Mondo. He previously
wrestled with world eXtreme wrestling under the name "Mean" Gene Snisky and won
the tag-team championship along with his partner Robb Harper. When he entered
singles competition, he won the wXw Heavyweight Championship.
World Wrestling Entertainment
He made his WWE debut on the September 13, 2004
edition of RAW as a heel against Kane. During this match, Snitsky hit Kane on
the back with a steel chair, causing Kane to fall on his pregnant wife Lita,
which in turn resulted in the death of their baby. During this angle he
repeatedly stated "It wasn't my fault", which became his catch phrase.
He was then situated in a major feud with Kane,
which lead to a match at WWE Taboo Tuesday. In this match, Snitsky used a steel
chair and crushed Kane's larynx. WWE used this angle as kayfabe for Kane's
absence, when in reality Kane was going to film a movie. This feud resumed at
the WWE New Year's Revolution pay-per-view, when Kane came back from filming his
WWE-produced movie, with Snitsky losing to Kane.
On the January 17, 2005 RAW, Kane and Snitsky were
booked to compete in a No Holds Barred match. Kane and Snitsky battled inside
and outside the ring in their scheduled match. The Kane-Snitsky match, and the
show, ended with Kane performing his finishing move (the chokeslam) to Snitsky
while they were both on the edge of the stage; this saw both wrestlers fly off
the stage, through tables, and other paraphernalia set up below the entrance
ramp.
At Survivor Series 2004, and more recently at
2005's Royal Rumble, Snitsky had an encounter with another psychotic from
SmackDown!, Heidenreich, in which they both exchanged their views on each other
– "I like .. your .. poems."; "I .. like what you do.. to babies." — while
breathing hard, both their trademark ways of talking.
At 2005's Royal Rumble, Snitsky secretly partnered
with Heidenreich, planning to interfere in Heidenreich's Casket Match with The
Undertaker. It was later revealed that Kane was hidden in the casket, and
pounced on both Snitsky and Heidenreich, where they continued their fight in the
crowds, before letting the Casket Match continue. This started a chain reaction
of feuds, where WrestleMania 21 would see The Undertaker partner with Kane to
take on Snitsky and Heidenreich. The idea was later nixed by The Undertaker —
who instead would face Randy Orton.
By this time Snitsky stopped using his first name
professionally as it was thought "Gene Snitsky" didn't sound mean enough. He was
absent from WWE television between March and May 2005 due to a blood clot in his
stomach. He returned to house show action on May 28, and reappeared on RAW on
May 30, where he began in earnest his televised feud with house show opponent
Chris Benoit. The feud concerned Benoit's appearance in the June 12 ECW One
Night Stand pay per view (in 1995 Benoit was a wrestler for ECW); Snitsky was a
"hired gun" for Eric Bischoff's RAW volunteers, brought in to try invade the pay
per view and ruin the ECW reunion. He and the other invaders were ultimately
unsuccessful.
Since then Snitsky has been used by Edge and Lita
to attack Kane, and by Eric Bischoff as punishment to anybody that he doesn't
like. On July 11th, 2005 Edge informed Snitsky that he knew about his female
foot fetish and offered Snitsky to "have a go with Lita's feet" if he'd help him
in a match against Kane.
On August 22nd, 2005 his foot fetish storyline
continued as Snitsky encountered backstage interviewer Maria Kanellis and tried
to lick her foot. At this point, The Big Show got involved placing his own foot
in Snitsky's view and slapped Snitsky for being a "pervert." Big Show went on to
defeat Snitsky by count-out in their upcoming single match.
On the September 5, 2005 Raw, Snitsky defeated Matt
Hardy by pinfall.The Big Show came to the ring to save Hardy after a post match
attack and the feud with The Big Show was in full swing.
