This afternoon, I read on the World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE] website that Gene Snitsky [pictured above], best known for his hideous yellow teeth and looking like a "Kane" clone, had been released from the company after being on the main-roster for a little over four-years.

All I can say is its about freaking time this guy was released. Snitsky was and is the poster-child for a professional wrestler who gets hired simply because of his size, which he has lost most of as a result of WWE enforcing their wellness policy.

Despite his lack of charisma, in-ring abilities and mic work, Snitsky lasted this long in WWE because WWE chairman Vince McMahon has always favored big-guys with "the look" and even though the company tried everything to make Snistky a monster that would strike fear in everyones hearts, one could hear a pin drop when he came out for his matches because the audience didn't care for him.

In all honesty, the only thing Snitsky will be remembered for during his time in WWE is being the random, laughing jobber whose chair shot to Kane caused him to fall on Lita and cause her "miscarriage" in his first match on Raw.

Say, maybe Total Nonstop Action [TNA] wrestling will pick him up since they love signing all the former WWE wrestlers. That or Snitsky can head back to his old stomping grounds with Afa the Wild Samoan at the World Xtreme Wrestling [WXW] federation.

Either way, just remember, "It wasn't his fault!"
