He's honestly not one of those guys I look at and think "Man they really missed the boat!" But I do think he probably could have been more than he ended up being. In retrospect it seems like they kind of rushed the guy onto television before they ever had an idea of what the heck they were going to do with him. Being throw in as a footnote in the convoluted Kane/Lita story was hardly what I'd call a memorable debut, although it did produce some hysterical moments from him. After that he really did not have much in the way of any note worthy feuds or storylines. He seems like a guy Vince hired because he was huge and scary looking-and that Vince them promptly forgot existed.

Snitsky always sucked. He was a bad gift that kept on giving; like herpes.

He seems like a great guy, and thankfully he's got a successful career as a bodyguard now, but...yeah, he absolutely sucked in WWE. No idea what they were aiming for with him.

A big guy who wasn't very athletic, did a big boot and had the pump-handle slam as a finisher. Yeah, he sucked. Seriously the pump-handle slam has to be the worst wrestling move of all time.

I remember his final run in ECW, where they just turned him into Kane Lite.

Snitsky gave me the douche chills whenever he appeared on my TV screen.
I remember Big Show slapping his ugly mug, asking "What are you, some kind of toe-sucking freak?" when he interrupted Snitsky acting creepy with Maria.
What was his logic in punting the baby? What the hell was he thinking? Was it ever explained?

I remember his final run in ECW, where they just turned him into Kane Lite. I absolutely hated this. I've posted about this before, but I was always baffled by Snitsky's success. He was always a generic worker with a generic look, and did absolutely nothing for me. But the ECW run really left me scratching my head, I couldn't believe that WWE thought that he would become a legitimate main eventer (albeit on the C-show) just by shaving him completely bald, as if everyone would forget how uninteresting he had been before. Awful.

Honestly, I'll go ahead and say that they missed the boat on Snitsky by not having him consistently around longer.
Huge hulking guys are always going to get pushed in the WWE, especially mid-2000s WWE, no matter what, right? Well, compared to his contemporaries who we saw a lot of whether we liked it or not, Snitsky stood out by putting his absolute all into being a gigantic weirdo. Talk about making the most of your time on-screen, Snitsky worked every fiber of his being at its absolute hardest into making his character entertaining.
Case in point, off the top of your head, how many memorable times (whether intentional or not) did Snitsky grace your television set?
Without looking anything up, I immediately recall:
- Punting Lita's baby, - being bribed with Lita's feet - the poem at Edge's wedding - the backstage interaction with Heidenreich, - the improved "wasn't my fault" in the Wrestlemania 21 promo - stroking the door that Lita was hiding behind - hitting on Maria - the Spongebob shirt - the tongue
Snitsky was a gives-his-call company guy through-and-through. Yes, the "Wack pack" and later ECW incarnations of him veered away fro what made him such an entertaining figure in the first place, but looking at all the memories from that first year I would by no means say he sucked. Look at the WWE runs of his hoss contemporaries in Reigns, Tomko, Morgan, etc., and now look at all the fond memories Snitsky bestowed upon us.
Snitsky's initial 2004-2005 run embraced and encapsulated a lot of what I love about absurd sports entertainment characters, and I wish there were more like him today.
