Anybody else lovin' Eugene right now?
I know I am. He's way better as the retard who feels people owe him stuff than the retard who loves Jim Duggan. I hope they actually let this play out and don't forget about him.
What do you think? |

I just really, really, really hope they let this ride out. That, and I hope they let Ken Doane join Rated RKO.

I like the character because it reminds me of this retarded kid I used to know in like 3rd grade who was a mean asshole. I wanted to punch him, but he was too retarded.

I think in a recent ross report or something, he teased that eugene is a much better wretler than anyone inmagined.
Which implies they're gonna let dinsmore really cut loose in the ring. Which I've been waiting for since his debut. |

The writers can play up on lifelong feelings of unbelonging and rejection with the Eugene character.
I remember when Eugene was called out and humiliated by Coach on Raw, and then the Rock came out to Eugene's rescue. THAT was a classic Raw moment. Same segment where Eugene admitted that HHH was his favorite wrestler. Anyways, I think people can relate to the Eugene character with regards to feelings of unbelonging while wanting to belong. If nothing else, it adds charater depth. |

I love Nick Dinsmore, but even as a heel, I just can't get into the whole Eugene thing. Here's what I'd do:
Next week, Val Venis enters Coach's office, and tells Coach to fire Eugene. Have Venis look like he's taking pity on Eugene, and have him plead with Coach, because the business is really getting to this kid's head. Coach asks Venis who he thinks he is, he ain't the Chief of Staff, anymore. He tells Venis that he will give Venis a chance to retire Eugene, but only if he defeats him in a Loser Leaves RAW Match. Coach points out that Venis' win-loss record isn't too great, so he has to show what he can offer RAW, or else he will be cut in place of Eugene. Val Venis and Eugene wrestle what would be a decent match, maybe have a few "Holy shit!" spots, just to make it seem like a more important match. I don't know, maybe a Fisherman Superplex? The referee is eventually knocked down, and Eugene gets a steel chair. He goes to hit Venis, but Val dodges, and the chair bounces off the top rope, and catches Eugene in the head. Venis then KILLS Eugene with a chair shot, and positions him for The Money Shot. Venis connects, and pins Eugene, retiring the character once and for all. I know, I know. The chances Val Venis will ever win a match on RAW are slim-to-none, but they've set up a feud between the two, and the guy deserves a solid run in the mid-card, at the very least. Nick Dinsmore can return a little later as Nick Dinsmore, and actually wrestle, while Venis can maybe win the Intercontinental Championship from Shelton Benjamin (who I see taking it from Jeff Hardy in the very near-future, to set up WGTT vs. Hardys feud). |

No no, I was answering the question in the topic.
I'd love to see Dinsmore renounce the gimmick. |

Like I said, I like this because it brings something new to a gimmick that has gotten old but I also like it because I think this is a step in slowly bringing him away from the gimmick somehow.

![]() I understand how people can see how this is going to be a slow-burn away from the retard character, but even then, you're still going to end up with the stupid-ass name of "Eugene" for him. Why not just have him disappear one week, and come back the next head-shaved, and actually wrestling. That'd be pretty sweet, wouldn't it? |

They should have pulled the trigger on this a long, long time ago, and done it in a much more "extreme" way, where Nick Dinsmore reveals that "Eugene" was a character all along, and he's not retarded at all.
With the way they've done his turn, Eugene is more interesting as a heel, but the fact of the matter is he's still a retard, and he'll still have to play a retard for years to come. |

jesus christ, get off the "Nick Dinsmore" thing. Like I said, the only people that will care about Nick Dinsmore will be a few people on the net. It'd be the equivilant of Val Venis changing back to Chief Morley. Remember how nobody cared about Gunner Scott. Same thing.

Also any angle that involves Val Venis/Eugene and an eventual name change to Nick Dinsmore that sees Nick become the same bland wrestler that Gunner Scott was (which is a very good wrestler but one that won't pull ratings) will NOT be bought by the WWE fans.
