Gene Snitsky is open to appearing in WWE again one day if the company's higher-ups want him to return.
Snitsky performed on the main roster between 2004 and 2008. During that time, the 53-year-old shared the ring with high-profile superstars including CM Punk, John Cena, and Kane. He also featured in a memorable comedy segment with Mae Young at WrestleMania 22.
On the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, Snitsky recalled his past conversations with WWE director Marty Miller at charity golf events:
"He would always be like, 'Snitsk, man, we need to get you back, we need to get you back.' So, I don't know what the whole behind the scenes thing was or what was going on, but there was a lot of guys pushing for me to come back, but it just never materialized. As the saying goes in pro wrestling, never say never. I'm a walking character, to this day." [20:49 – 21:09]

Two former WWE agents also wanted Gene Snitsky to return
Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko worked as WWE producers for more than a decade before leaving their roles in 2019. Both men now work for AEW.
Gene Snitsky had a good relationship with Anderson and Malenko behind the scenes:
"There was talks at a certain point [about returning]. I don't know why it never materialized or what the hold-up was or what the issue was, but I had a couple of people pushing for me to come back, like Arn Anderson was a big supporter of mine. I loved working with Arn. Arn's awesome. Dean Malenko, I just ran into Dean yesterday at the convention. Those guys were always pushing for me to come back." [20:11 – 20:39]
Snitsky also spoke about the possibility of facing Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns if he returns.
