Snitsky opens up about his foot fetish becoming a WWE storyline.
Former WWE superstar Gene Snitsky recently appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet. During the conversation, the former WXW Ultimate Heavyweight Champion opened up about his foot fetish and how it led to a second date with his wife.
“Well in real life, I like ladies’ feet,” he admitted. “It’s funny because my wife, when we first got together, I was like, you gotta take your shoes off. I have to see your feet, because there will not be a second date if you have ugly feet. I get right to the point, there’s no beating around the bush. I’m not going to stay with somebody who has ugly feet.”
Snitsky on Vince McMahon’s reaction to his foot fetish
“I went right to Vince, because they were like, come to us with ideas, come to us with storylines. I know Vince, he’s kind of off the wall. He’s a little wacky. So I was like, Yeah, I’m gonna tell him about the foot fetish and see if we can incorporate it in the characters. I was like, ‘Mr. McMahon, I got this idea.’ Told him my idea and in a second, he’s like, That’s great. We’ll do it. Literally, that quick. So that’s kind of how that started, just trying to be different, trying to stand out a little bit.
“Because at the time, it was just kind of like a revolving door. Guys were coming and going. I mean, I was there for five years, but I saw a lot of guys come and go. So just to differentiate, and the baby thing was kind of off the wall. So let’s keep it going. Then I did the tag team thing with Goldust for a while where, like all the oddities and all that kind of stuff, got the suck Mae Young’s toes at WrestleMania. She loved it.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Snitsky recalled Vince McMahon’s important advice for punting a baby on live TV.
