My Take
Gene Snitsky is pure spectacle to me, and I mean that warmly. A 198 cm Pennsylvanian who played college football at Missouri before throwing himself into pro wrestling was practically built to be a WWE power heel. What I suspect made him stick was charisma underneath the menace, the kind of villain crowds love to hate. There is something purely physical and old-school about a performer whose body is the whole act. I find real romance in that craft, athletes who reinvent themselves across sports and keep an arena roaring through sheer presence.
