I've seen a lot of people on here recently ask "what the deal is" with Snitsky. And I say, shut up Seinfeld, Snitsky is Snitsky is Snitsky.
Snitsky is just sort of a phenomenon for a lot of different reasons.
At first it was the unintentional comedy thing; Gene Snitsky's bizarre debut, and subsequent baby-punting, as well as his poor and awkward performances in the wring, led to him having a kind of "car wreck" appeal.
But as stories of him being a really good guy back stage and actual INTENTIONAL lunacy with the character commenced, combined with some improvement in the ring and a sort of awkward, gawky likeability, he developed what can only be described as a kind of cult here on the boards. The phrase "ALL HAIL SNITSKY" is unique in a number of ways, first and foremost because it is open adulation, as opposed to measured praise, which is what us smarks round these parts usually give out.
Need proof?
Here's an example:
If we're talking about The Rock, or CM Punk, or Finlay, or Regal, or Londrick or WHOEVER, we bring up their good aspects and what we think is so great about them.
If we're talking about Snitsky, we say ALL HAIL SNITSKY. HAIL. BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ONE YOU SNITSKY.
Essentially, we like Snitsky not because he's so bad he's good, and not because he's good, either. We like Snitksy because Snitsky is Snitsky, and on a board as critical and nitpicky as this one, it's nice just to love something for existing to be as it is.
This is why I love Snitsky; he's a wrestler without fault, because I have deemed him such. He could come out and do a fumbling ten minute long promo about wanting to massage a horse and I'd be like, awesome. Great. He could have a three minute match where he blows three spots, and I'd be like, awesome, great! He could come out and do what he's been doing recently on Heat, ie, suddenly kicking TONS OF ASS as a psychotic Big Man Wrecking Ball, and my level of mark out is unchanged.
So that's my deal with Snitsky. Am I close in naming your affection for The Steel-Chair Abortionist?
