R.I.P. "Eugene"

Now it is too late, and they cannot turn him heel like that without insulting our intelligence, and I see no other feasible way of revealing that he is 'normal'.

They should not do that. It's a gimmick, and a fun one too. Did anyone believe that s the Undertaker is really dead? Did anyone believe that Kane was burnt as a child when he first entered the WWF? Did anyone believe that Pappa Shango really could cast spells on people? Does anyone believe that the Peoples' Elbow actually hurts?

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.
