In-Depth Update On Snitsky's WWE Firing-UPDATED

[Loki]

If you're wondering why Snitsky received countless opportunities to get over (which most wrestlers don't receive) and managed to evade multiple talent purges despite the audience's repeated apathy towards him, it is because head honcho Vince McMahon was a huge supporter of the yellow-toothed grappler, at least according to a November 2007 issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. At the time of the report, Snitsky was in the midst of his seemingly never-ending push. Also, McMahon has a well known fetish for big, muscle-bound wrestlers, and there's not too many wrestlers out there larger than Snitsky.

I hate that crap. I'd love to punch hard in the face the idiots who come up with that crap...

Snitsky had survived some purges because they needed a whipping boy nobody cared about but still looked moderately dangerous. That's why...

Good God, they basically gave up on him once Kane was done with him. They kept on changing his look and switching brand just to keep his credibility to an acceptable level so the crowd would have cared about the next babyface who pinned him.

That's it.

Oh, and Vince has such a fetish for big men... Shelton Benjamin at 6"2 248 is the biggest man currently holding a WWE title...
And with the exception of Batista, not a single "big man" is around the main event scene.

Depends on how you look at it. Big Show and Undertaker, along with Kane to an extent, would be big men, but yeah, I agree with you.

Taker and Show are little more than Special Attractions, and used to be awesome workers.
Ditto for Kane, but he's not even used as Special Attractions, just like a regular JTTS.

If you have to imagine WWE according to the words of these idiots, you'd think it's Warlord v Giant Gonzalez for the WWE title every PPV, with Khali as the third man.

[Hobby Drifter]

With Snitsky gone, who will be the new, "They released XXX but SNITSKY is still employed?" guy?

[azz0r]

Hardcore Holly

[Bo Rida]

I did not know he went 10 months without being pinned.

I feel the same way
Also they make it sound like Vince is the only guy who employs Big Guys

Vince does'nt like Big Guys

WRESTLING IN GENERAL LIKES BIG GUYS

[sabu]

Vince likes big muscle bound guys too much IMO

[Sparvid]

My favorite part of Snitsky's "undefeated" run:

Mr McMahon: "Tonight, John Cena, you're going to face... *dramatic pause* SNITSKY!"
Crowd: *apathy*

Snitsky was the best
Then he became a Penis
His coolness was gone

I hate that clip. It totally buries WWECW and Knox for an aging hasbeen to look funny.

Not very good news for Snitsky

[mysterydriver]

If he lives in a good area for wrestling shows, he should be able to do well on the indy scene. He is just going to have to learn to buckle down on his spending for a while, I'm sure.

All I know is...if Snitsky is on the card...I am at the show.

[Janitor From Mars]

I miss the baby-kicking, foot-licking, it wasn't my fault! Snitsky.
