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
