Former WWE Superstar Gene Snitsky has announced his intentions to retire from professional wrestling.
Snitsky, who’s real name is Eugene Alan Snitsky, is likely best known for his WWE run between the years 2004 and 2008. Most notably Snitsky had a feud with Kane that involved Lita in the storyline as well, which was heavily featured on Monday Night RAW at one point.
After his WWE release Snitsky has been keeping busy working the independent circuit as well as a brief run with TNA in 2014. The 48-year-old recently took to Instagram and announced he plans to retire after a few more shows in order to spend more time with his girlfriend and focus on weight training.
Here’s what he had to say:
“Only gonna do a few more shows!!!!! I’ve decided to move on and focus more on other things like @carianneb1 for instance…. And ofcourse weight training and appearances just no more in ring competition lol…..”
“I’ve been losing the love over the last few yrs and honestly don’t like the way wrestling is going….. Just wanna thank all my fans…. for without you there would never have been a SNITSKY!!!! I truly love my fans and always will…… Thx for taking the time to watch me perform it means the world to me!!!!!”
