Snitsky performed on the main roster between 2004 and 2008.
During that time, the former notable shared the ring with high-profile superstars like CM Punk, John Cena, and Kane.
He grew into a beloved member of the wrestling community and fans during his short run with the company.
Snitsky is widely known for his featured moment in a memorable comedy and controversial segment with Lita.
The WWE created a storyline that had Lita a fake “miscarriage” a few episodes before, and as a part of the script, Snitsky punted a baby into the stands.
However, in 2008, he ended up quitting WWE because he wasn’t happy with his character.
Snitsky lost to CM Punk in his last TV appearance in the WWE on an episode of RAW.
He would go to wrestler on the independent circuit from 2008-108 with stints in the World Xtreme Wrestling and a few other regional promotions.
Snitsky returned to the ring in 2023 with Major League Wrestling and made his professional debut in July, defeating Yoscifer El in a singles match.
Outside of the ring, he has appeared as a biker and a criminal on ABC’s Primetime: What Would You Do? and starred in a horror film, 100 Acres of Hell, as Buck Severs.
