Snisky Says Dustin Rhodes Has A Great In-Ring Mind And His Body Of Work Speaks For Itself

In 2006, the improbable tag combination of Snisky (Gene Snitsky in the WWE) and Goldust (Dustin Rhodes) engaged in conflict with The Spirit Squad.

Snisky said that he and Dustin were supposed to win the WWE Tag Team Titles, but that it never happened because Dustin was dealing with personal concerns.

Snisky provided more insight on his friendship with Dustin and his collaboration with him in an interview with Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl on In The Weeds.

“Life happens. He was going through a divorce. Everybody has been there, down and out, it happens. I’m not going to hold it against him, shit happens. That’s why they have toilet paper. He’s a great guy, we had so much fun. The backstage segment we did in Vegas is still one of my favorites. It’s the most ridiculous off the wall backstage segment, but man was it fun. We had so much fun wrestling together. He’s a great guy. Great in-ring mind. The stuff he would set up for us, the double team moves and all that stuff, he’s amazing. His body of work speaks for itself. I loved working with him. We had so much fun and chemistry. It’s a shame, but hindsight is 20/20 and people have to get their life in order, I understand that. He was going through some stuff. I don’t hold it against him,”
