Eugene would probably not work if the WWE decided that he was normal. Though, I can now see that maybe they used this gimmick to set Nick up for a good long heel role.

I said that they SHOULD HAVE done it, not that they should do it now. It wouldn't make sense anymore, as stated in my last post.
The People's Elbow is more of a cocky finisher, and I do agree that using it as a finisher is retarded. It is a move however, not a gimmick, so it is irrelevant in this conversation. Those other gimmicks that you mentioned generated some good crowd responses, and for long periods of time as well. Those gimmicks also existed when very few wrestling fans were smarks. Today's fans don't want to see dumbass gimmicks, and the recent boos that Eugene has gotten show that his gimmick has lost its steam and will die eventually.
