Snisky Recalls Working 17-on-2 Handicap Match Against John Cena & Randy Orton
– While speaking to Jeremy Lambert and Joe Pearl for Fightful’s In the Weeds, former WWE Superstar Gene Snitsky (aka Sniskey) discussed working a 17-on-2 handicap match against John Cena and Randy Orton in March 2008. He stated the following:
“I just remember the nightmare of trying to set it up. With that many guys involved, it’s almost like a Royal Rumble. Everybody had their spot, everybody has their time. I always joke around with the guys at the shop, ‘I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, I don’t know how I remembered that stuff back then.’ With all the chairshots I’ve had, the tables I’ve been through. The guys are just laughing and I show them video. Back in those days, you got hit with a chair, you didn’t put your hand up. You just got hit with the chair. There’s that video going around of Big Show hitting me in the head with a kitchen sink. You can see clearly that I don’t have my hands up and I’m not protecting myself, just getting hit square in the head with a kitchen sink. Luckily, I have a thick cranium because I’ve been hit in the head with a lot of things over the years…not counting the stuff my wife hits me with in the basement.”
