Snitsky Claims Miz Rant Was Due to His Twitter Being Hacked

July 19, 2011

Earlier tonight, we reported that former WWE star Gene Snitsky lashed out at fans on Twitter, using both homophobic slurs and curse words. Additionally, Snitsky ripped into former WWE Champion The Miz, claiming that he could "never hold his jockstrap."

In an update to this story, several readers have sent in word that Snitsky has subsequently claimed that his Twitter account was hacked, and he issued an apology to both the fans and The Miz, before deleting the Twitter account. Below is a screenshot of the Tweets, sent in by WZ reader Bob Sanders, just minutes before the account was deleted.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
