The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports that Gene Snitsky is headed to ECW.

Along the way, Snitsky will receive a new look as part of WWE's plan to make him what sources describe as a heel version of Kane.

The makeover is expected to include shaving his signature goatee and changing his hairstyle (possibly by shaving him bald).

Give him the shoehorse haircut and dye his hair blond.

Viola, Hulk Hogan is now invading ECW. He will then be joined with Daniel Rodimer and Carlito and be collectively known as the wOf. (wasn't Our fault)

No no no...He's turning into heel Kane. Since he's emo, it WAS his fault.

I prefer the D-X version.

One is a devout Christian on his way to redemption. His best friend is the son-in law of a billionaire, on the highway to Hell. Can they tell millions at home to suck it without killing each other?

I've always felt Snitsky had potential. After all, they billed him as the Kane-whomping monstrosity for his debut feud....and then turned him into a toe-suckling bafoon that can't pull off a Big Boot.

I'd actually be very interested in seeing what direction they take said potential, regardless of what show he's on.

As long as there's a paycheck and a yearly PPV main event spot, yes. Yes they can.

No, they even got someone else to dress up as Kane - to be a heel Kane.

Wow... This is not surprising in the least. I feel he has more to offer than just being a generic hoss. I could be wrong, but I barely watch ECW now so I don't really care.

Maybe Snitsky can be the fake Mike Knox.

He should be "Dr. Gene Snitsky, Gynecologist".

"Whoops, we put in Car Scent instead of Pine Fresh. But it WASN'T MY FAULT!"

Or a Podiatrist, whichever.

Call me crazy, but I feel that Snitsky, if properly pushed, has the ability to be a draw for the WWE. He reminds me of a B-Movie actor who is so horrible he's great.

He's got horrible mic skills and is shit in the ring. The only way he could get over is if they book him Goldberg style and gave him a mouth piece.

I have to also admit to liking Snitsky. I have no fucking idea why. I guess it might be that when he debuted, he reminded me of a big, juiced up version of myself--a little bit awkward, big forehead, unruly goatee...dead baby jokes. I was a bit disappointed to see him start getting depushed.

I'm hoping this plays out better than it sounds like it will.

If they're gonna make him a heel Kane, the next logical step would be to have a feud between the two.

Now how could we possibly book this? We'll have to have Snitsky do something really really mean to Kane......

He'll run over his dog!!!!!! Brilliant!
Nah, he'll just slap around Lita until she has one of her monthly abortions. That'll show 'em!

I remember the chain wrestling. It was right after they had quit being partners, when Big Show was trying to get him back to his senses. I actually thought it was pretty entertaining...there wasn't any BAHGAWD RING TECHNICIAN psychology, but it was a lighthearted match, with it being clear that Big Show was just trying to have a good time with Kane...y'know, for old time's sake. Try to get him level headed. It served a purpose, which you don't see too many matches do these days.

Also, the match was worth it alone for the audience and commentator reactions. Nobody knew what the fuck was going on. Good times.
