On the latest episode of Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Gene Snitsky discussed one of the most infamous moments of his WWE career: punting a baby doll into the crowd. He revealed his background as a skilled punter and shared Vince McMahon’s direct instruction for the spot.
“We’re walking through it, Vince was like, ‘Then you’re going to kick the baby into the crowd.’ I’m like, ‘Cool.’ In my head, I’m thinking I’m gonna whack the s–t out of this thing,” Snitsky recalled. “And then Vince is like, ‘Whatever you do, don’t miss the baby. Make sure you kick it.’ I’m like, ‘Listen, Mr. McMahon, I was already a punter in high school. This is gonna be f—ing amazing.’ And he just looked at me and just left it at that.”
After successfully executing the punt, Vince was thrilled.
“Back through the curtain, he gives me a big hug, he’s like, ‘That was great.’ I’m like, ‘I told you.'”
