Eugene: Based on A True Story??
taken from 1wrestling.com (and a few other sites):

John Powell, writing for Slam! Wrestling, is reporting that the
new Nick Dinsmore character in the WWE - "Eugene", may be
patterned after a real "mentally challenged" boy who attended
WWE events in the Northeast.

Powell's source is a former WWE employee who said the real
Eugene was ridiculed behind his back by some WWE employees
at the time.

The introduction of the "Eugene" character has sparked outrage
among some fans who believe the portrayal to be insensitive and
inappropriate

He should go to Bubba Rae's School of How to Stop Being a Retard.

Which basically means that the angle is atrocious, and Dinsmore could be much better suited as a regular wrestler without any gimmick, frankly. That's how bad it is.

I'm not the biggest fan of Eugene's character, but I'd heard that it was patterned from a similar character from "There's Something About Mary."

It (the 'rumor') is probably true. WWE "creative" can't even come up with anything for Rey Mysterio Jr.,how the **** were they supposed to come up with something for Nick Dinsmore?? Besides,what better way to get a gimmick/angle than to mock an actual mentally handicapped person??

- Following up on the origins of the Eugene name, it was apparently the name of a person who worked the shows at Pittsburgh’s Civic Arena shows in the past carrying ring jackets.

If you really want to get rid of Eugene because it is a truly horrible character you need to do research. What you need to do is prove that having a retarded character which is made fun of is a Hate Crime and the WWE will have to get rid of him.
