:(

Poor guy never got a chance to show off what he can really do.</font>

:(

wtf? He got shitloads of tv time.

oh well

well he's off to TNA now

So, what are the odds for Dinsmore in TNA? Think they'll have him drop the retard gimmick completely with a lame shoot promo, or just re-hash it under a different name?

Wow....just...wow.

Wonder if it had to do with the steroid scandal and if any more people will get released.

Jesus, does shaving your long hair off to build up a stupid feud mean nothing to anyone these days?

:( This is truly one of the saddest days in sports entertainment history.

Just kidding :shifty:

Thank god. One of the worst gimmicks in history is finally gone. Whatever "talent" these OVW marks go on about is a complete mystery to me.

Maybe so, but why release him now? Why not pull the obvious, I'm not retarded anymore gimmick. You can get to it a few different ways, and why not send him to jobber heaven if it doesnt work out? I mean, he's been on TV alot, I'm sure a casual fan from the past 3 years would recognise him. Wasted opportunity.

They were using him alot in the OVW main event scene lately I think too.

For some reason that I don't quite understand, this release really sucks more than just a typical jobber being released.

That's just ignorant. Nick Dinsmore is one of the finest wrestlers in the WWE in terms of ability. That might or may not have something to do with his OVW training with Jim Cornette and Danny Davis. Either way it is completely pointless. The guy could come from CZW and be just as good.

It's a shame that they released him without giving him too much of a shot without the retard gimmick. TNA will probably call him, and offer him more money, but I'm really hoping he gets on the phone to Gabe and Cary first. The guy is fucking brilliant in the ring, and his time as Eugene, while pointless it may seem, has taught him how to play a character, and how to interact with crowds. He'd be all the better for it.

The WWE are retards for wasting his potential (pun intended), and I really hope he ends up in ROH. TNA is just too cluttered, and you'd know he'd end up with an even more retarded gimmick. Rob Conway is also free of his WWE contract, as is Doug Basham (who is now away from TNA, and who ROH have expressed interest in). I would not be opposed to seeing Gabe bring in both Basham and Dinsmore (and maybe Conway) for some tryout matches before ROH shows, and see how the fans react to them. Dinsmore and Conway made a fantastic team when they were The Lords of the Ring. The Briscoes need some competition.

If Dinsmore goes to ROH first, and earns some fanfare, I could see him jump to TNA when they get their shit together, as kind of a "Stone Cold" like babyface. No, not nearly as huge, and you're a fucktard if you interpret it like that. I don't even mean in character. I mean in terms of a talented worker that never got a chance to shine in one promotion, jumping ship to another, proving he's more than capable, and then entering yet another promotion and becoming one of their bigger stars.

I don't care what anyone says, Kurt Angle vs. Nick Dinsmore is one of those matches I would actually pay to see.

Part of me is thinking this may be a work, though, and I really hope it is. I mean, look at the exact statement from WWE.com:

"WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Smackdown talent Eugene as of September 1. We wish Eugene the best in all future endeavors."

Something about that doesn't look right. Don't they normally refer to released wrestlers by their real name? Like Sylvain Grenier instead of plain, old "Sylvan?" When they released Goldust, I get the feeling it would have said something like Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes. That is just says "Eugene" makes me hope that they plan on using "Nick Dinsmore" in the future.

The WWE might start pushing actual wrestlers, and guys with talent, in the wake of this steroid shit. Maybe not right to the top, but I am hopeful this is just a way to get the dead gimmick off Nick Dinsmore, and use him in a more constructive way.

Or maybe this is the start of a heel turn when he gets some government group to demand that Eugene, despite his "handicap" can do the job.
They'll also sign Zach Gowen.

I fast forwarded every match he's ever been in. I'm happy he's gone.

I was thinking of that, too. Or even worse, Eugene could reveal himself to be Vince's illegitimate son, and bribe his way back into the WWE.

Yesterday, World Wrestling Entertainment released Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore.

According to reports, Nick Dinsmore was surprised by the release. He was in the arena at last night’s ECW/SmackDown tapings in Cincinnatti, Ohio and was at the talent meeting before the event started which Stephanie McMahon conducted.

After the meeting, he was notified of his release and was apparently escorted from the arena.

Nick Dinsmore was not in the list of names listed by the media as being a Signature Pharmacy customer, however reports suggest that his release was due to a Wellness Program violation. Dinsmore was previously suspended in November 2005 due to violating the program.

I can see how that turned out.

*Eugene walks up to Stephanie in character*

Eugene: HIIII STEPH!

Stephanie: Uhhh hi Eugene.

Eugene: Look what I can do!!! *touches his toes*

Stephanie: Uhhh that's nice, hey lis...

Eugene: YYYYooouu know who my faaaavorite cruiserweight is???

Stephanie: No, and frankly I don...

Eugene: *spits Kool-Aid on Stephanie* TAJIIIRRRIIII!!!! HAHAHAHA~! *dances*

Stephanie: ENOUGH! Nick, we're releasing you from your contract! I'd appreciate it if you leave the building.

*Eugene stops and turns into Nick Dinsmore*

Nick: What?

Im hoping they drop it...I remember when he turned heel for like a few weeks...I was hoping that he was just gonna start beating the shit out of people then start saying shit like he was faking it or perhaps a chair shot knocked him into normal state. Yes I know it would be a fucked up way to do it but who would remember after a few months anyway.

Eric Young vs. Gene Dinsmore - Tard Fest 2007

It often depends on how you leave the company.

If he's gone for good, I say good for him. Dunno whether he'll make as much money, but at least he'd be allowed to wrestle again and not act like a retard.

If it's all a swerve to get him away from the retard gimmick, then good for him either way.

Does anyone remember that story a year or two ago when he got in trouble for breaking Kayfabe? Apparently a fan said to him "Nik you deserve better than this" and he turned and said "I know".

Thank you Vince, I hated this character and skipped every Eugene match when he came to Smackdown! :)

Boy you might be nearly as retarded as Eugene. You bitch to me about making ignorant comments, and then in the next breath bitch about how WWE never used him right. HELLO. I said I have no idea what these OVW marks on about him for. I didn't see his OVW work, all I've seen is Eugene. He could be god himself, but within the frame of the work I've seen of his, he sucks. But you're right, I should base my opinion of someone off of how good someone else says they saw him perform years ago and not off of what I've seen. I mean after all, what good is an opinion if it's not based on someone else's taste. :roll:

By the way, can anyone name me one, just ONE person who was hyped as being incredible and the minute they stepped foot in WWE and didn't make a big splash it wasn't blamed on WWE misusing them or on WWE watering them down?

I found Eugene to be very entertaining when he debuted, and that mini-feud with Triple H was honestly one of the better feuds in quite some time, but after that, the character ran its course very quickly. Hopefully everything works out for Mr. Dinsmore.

I hope he doesn't go to TNA.

:rofl:

Perfect. I hope Russo is reading this.

Lol why does anyone even bother to respond to the one's comments? You will never change his horrible tastes and warped thinking so why try?

You watch Smackdown?

QFT
 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

lol

'aaaaa'

I enjoyed watching it until the draft. Now its just awful.

So you wish a guy doesn't earn a living because you, personally, are not knowledgeable enough of his work? I can understand you wanting the character gone, but it must be depressing to see guys you are impartial to suffering and getting relief out of it?

And no, I can't think of one person who has come into the WWE with good fanfare, and then gotten misused, and it not being blamed on them. Why? Because it is that they're being misused. How is Nick Dinsmore meant to wow you when slapped with a retard gimmick? He certainly didn't right them himself.

Don't do a Vermaat and claim that talent can do whatever they want, and that the reason they don't is because they are lazy, or they get complacent when signed to a WWE. You're better than that. It's confirmed fact that the agents plan out a wrestler's match, for the most part, and that their promos are completely scripted. A guy is obviously going to be less impressive because of these handicaps. Anyone without their writing hand will not write as well. People blame the WWE for their shitty policies which prevent guys who were capable from being as capable, because that's the way it goes down.

Ah, I see. After reading that report that Nick Dinsmore was surprised by it all, it's become apparent that it's not a work. I was just looking for hope, so now my biggest beacon is ROH. Dinsmore being a part of this Project 161 thing would be awesome, as he was abused in the WWE, and might be looking for a way to get his dignity back. I am just dreaming, though.

Eugene at his best

Not to mention classic Regal at the end.

lol aliennoid, he wishes death on people he doesn't like, why are you surprised that he doesn't care if they're out of work?

He's a gimmick anyway. He's only real in the sense that Shadow's a pothead and DMI's a chick.

And that Wee Gooner is a twat?
