Eugene | Wrestling With Wregret 

+3DSDF EUGEEEEENE NICHOLAS DINSMORE!

Wrestling With Wregret GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT, MISTER!!!!

I thought it was an audition for the WWE player's production of 'Streetcar Named Desire' and he got the name wrong.

3DSDF I was thinking the same thing. but imagined him hiding behind his cool uncle regal

That Regal promo that came out of that screaming. I always loved that one from Regal. Too bad that Regal's drug use kept derailing his career. Would have loved to see the title on his shoulders at one point.

The Nick Dinsmore And thank you sir for your contribution in Wrestling History.

The Nick Dinsmore Did you misspell Brian's surname on purpose to sell the gimmick more?

You're a tremendous talent.

The Nick Dinsmore as someone who is autistic and has adhd, I totally loved your run in wwe and wish only two things, that one it was longer as you are a brilliant talent and should have been there longer and two wish that you had off been around while I was younger, espically as a teenager, it would have helped me so much, as it did even in my 20s when your run was. Thanks for everything.

The Nick Dinsmore your act as Eugene was better than most on of the current WWE acts today

no

Rui Ribeiro er yes he was tit

Easily

Make it 99%

Yes

me too

Yeah I was really thinking it would make it worse at first, but the dude knocked it out of the park.

He’s in the XFL review too

Rocky LXIX I lol'd as well, it kinda caught me off guard.

That was hilarious. :)

Rocky LXIX Brian Forgot the 2nd most important rule of the wrestling video game "Thou Shalt Not Mock SmackDown vs RAW 2006"

+Jane Ross FUCK YOU, IT WAS AMAZING!

Lone Wolf wasn't 2006 the game that had the stupid locker customization stuff or was that '07?

Doug Rockford Oh damn, now I can't unsee it, now I can imagine Eugene being taken in by Bray, renamed Braun Strowman and giving him some weird backwater blessing from Sister Abigail to bulk him up hahaha.

o_O oh my god...

Killboy The Savage lol bring back Eugene but have Braun beat up people for making fun of him

He looks like white 2009 Mark Henry lmao

Doug Rockford When Braun Strowman was a Rose Bud for Adam Rose, I always tought that was Nick Dinsmore as Eugene..

r*tard strength, i met a few people in prison with it, and uncontrollable anger

The Golden Shovel... (should of been an award every year to who got buried by HHH)

Are you for fucking real? Do you think any top guy would want to put over any guy who had been on TV for six months? Let alone one that wasn't a serious character?

+fordulaad Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns were put over in a short span of time. I would also like to add that Eugene used to be Doink the Clown which was a 90s character.

Eugene isn't Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. And in case you're forgetting, not everyone was thrilled about putting over Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns has had a bit of a mega-push, but mainly to try fill the vacuum at the top of the card, he was also in the shield for much longer than 6 months

Maverick Hunter X he was a fill in, they've used several Doinks

HikesHistory You mean like Billy and Chuck revealing that they weren't really gay? That's a cop-out.

Based Smark

Imagine the hate fans would have spewed for such a dumb storyline. Not to mention the media being all over it like they did when Linda had her campaign.

Thanks for making me laugh that would have been awesome

You could've worded this better

Took any bad angle, owned it, didn't complain, and shit out gold in return.

Saw him in Dublin about the about 6 years ago and he is one of the most humble incredible wrestlers he worked the crowd incredibly and even though he was heel the whole crowd was cheering for him by the end

That's an opinion not a fact man.

James Terrell Tell me why Regal shouldn’t be in HOF

@@kgrace1985 I'm pretty sure I said that your comment was an opinion not a fact which is factual. Couldn't care less if Regal gets in on or not, it's still opinion not fact.

@@SuspiciousSpam Dude. What's your deal?

I liked Eugene. But your comment is sooo true.

Dr Rainbows the Unicorn I shudder to think how badly Autistic people would've been represented in wrestling.

I think it was perfect timing, any other and it would of just been "look at the different person!"

Dr Rainbows the Unicorn I felt this was pretty awful, but I'm glad you didn't find it overtly offensive. As for Africa, at least there are real wrestlers from the continent today. Even though that fact is not paraded about, it's a lot better being represented by Kofi Kingston rather than a southerner like Kamala parlaying a ridiculous stereotype, or a large caucasian man in blue spandex with an effeminate hand. One could say Justin Gabriel of Nexus 'fame' as well, since he is South African, IIRC he's in Lucha Underground today.

Honestly, at least the "Autistic" person was played by someone with real wrestling talent. That's what makes it ok with me, the fact that he could wrestle and he has genuine talent, rather than "Look at the Autist! He's weird! AHAAHAAHAHA!!" cos then that'd just be like High School.

Dr Rainbows the Unicorn it's a narrow line they have to follow and certain times it would wonder into "are they taking the piss out of diabilities?"

Raab Savage and his tag team partner Bill Ding

Kevin Jackson punny

FRICKOLOGY Bill could manage Seth and measured the ring apron with a tape measure during Seth's matches. They would have the foundation for success!

The YETAY!!!!

Also, make Titus O'Neil the new Doink.

The Calgary Kid

Thankfully it was a one-off appearance as a special needs gimmick would never worked in a PG atmosphere.

​@@kazallroberts The warrior award exist

Marc Gallagher Omigawd, you're totally right!

Marc Gallagher and getting caned by Sandman

Wait, he was Mr America?

No, that was Hulk Hogan

Marc Gallagher Who?

I forgot he was a thing

xHaloxReviewerx117x I remember him, his pirate gimmick was alright, but it was way better than the incest angle they gave him when he was drafted to ecw

Bad gimmick

@chilliecheesecake you couldn’t of explained it better!

Amen to that.

Yep. I think the same. Especially in the times of 2004. Eugene was an eye opener for myself. Got my diagnosis way later. But he's on of the first moments where I realised who I am 😅

You are using common sense that half of the comments section. Thanks

Precisely, it's people who have never actually spoken to or been around people with different levels of mental retardation, and they project their discomfort by calling everything offensive and "ablest". Another problem is the way they've been treated in schools in the last 20-30 years. In the 70s and 80s it was far more normalised because of a lack of knowledge of the disabilities, then when they started to learn about the different forms they started hiding retarded kids away from everyone else and overprotecting them instead of letting the other kids socialise with them and let everyone understand each other's differences. I mean for crying out loud they kept people with your disability in a caged off area in my school and told nobody to go near the cage, I'd go by almost every recess and lunch time and talk to a guy called Calum and some others, they were really nice kids CRAVING social interaction with people they were being hidden away from. How on earth are you supposed to have a chance of developing already retarded social skills if you can't interact with anyone outside of your 20 metre fkn box. Pisses me off to this day. Anyway sorry for the long rant.

Robert Wright Was going to literally type the exact same thing. Glad I didn't, otherwise I would have been accused of copying your comment.

People aren't haters for criticising the bad parts of wrestling so grow up.

Wrestling is fake.

Xehanort10 r/wooosh

Xehanort10 you do know he’s joking right?

He's a stunt granny, I mean 'fan' ? 😆

***** I know, I did watch the video. But he got stuck with it and didn't develop into something more serious, that was the point I was trying to make.

Breeze's gimmick was decent, but unavoidably midcard.

Yousexythang What I'm trying to say, he got over, but without any change he will never amount to anything that reflects his talent because he's becoming a joke act with this whole police thing

I think Breeze could have gone up the card a little furthr than he is, but he's held back by the writing not being up to making him seem serious, and the fact that The Miz already exists. You can have a big-league goofy heel, but the WWE keeps forgetting that to do that, he also needs to be capable of kicking ass to SOME extent.

Funny, both Eugene and Breeze came up with their gimmicks. Breeze was inspired by Gorgeous George, fun fact.

I disagree. I didn't like the Eugene storyline

@@spiceupyourlife7755 to be honest with you I made this comment 5 years ago. My views on this character have changed a bit since then. I still stand by the statement that there have been far more offensive characters than Eugene in wrestling. However nowadays I think that Eugene was a poor character in terms of representing people with mental health issues.

I've only known you 30 seconds and you're already making me mentally challenged! - Kurt Angle

Oh god I heard that in my head, lol.

Fitting you said Rock solid as he used The People’s Elbow as Eugene

This should be a top comment lol

Tj Montoya hahaha I completely forgot I commented that, and you’re right

dito... Asperger Syndrome so i'm an autist... no problem with the Eugene Gimmick in any way

Mustn't be a real disability then, its like the law that you have to be offended by this shit.

The Engie That Cried Nope I'm also retarded, I don't understand what this video is about.

Personally I was fine with the idea, but then hearing the heel turn and it almost looked like he was making fun of autistic people, and honestly I do have 2 highly autistic siblings, so it was highly awkward to even see this gimmick in the first place.

I think the heel turn could have worked... since Eugene was watching wrestling as a Kid... the idea popped into his head that he wanted to be a heel... from the stars he was watching in between being injured... if they followed that instead of I'm special I'm not a heel...

it would of been a perfect way to push him up the card if somebody, say chris benoit showed him footage of them laughing at eugene, eugene could cry and tell william regal what happened. Then have Eugene vs Triple H, where Eugene would get a shock win.

Yes, because Triple H was known for being extremely generous with losses to midcard guys back then.

Joe Homer oh man... 1) Hunter was an example... used because he back thenw as the top heels of WWEs Top heels... 2) it's purely hypothetic anyway...

undertakernumberone1 stop using ellipsis

Twisted Chainsaw nah... nope nope nope... dont want to... it became a habit for me to use it....

Also I did like the Eugene character for a while and he was insanely over, so much that he got Regal, one of the best heels ever, probably the biggest face pop of his career when he defended Eugene. Was shitty that Benoit as champ actually was playing second fiddle to the HHH/Eugene story.

Crazedgamers17 No

And Triple H

AzureSymbiote true in a society where people take offense to things this gimmick could not work

ElJabroni they already did it was called Right to Censor

Imagine if they did have the characters that were offensive but also had the SJW characters being offended by their existence in the company, like Right to Censor only less annoying entrance theme and updated for today's age.

I really genuinely get confused by these sorts of comments. You could do this kind of thing these days, and people would get offended just like they got offended back then... and with just as good reasons as they had back then... and you could do it anyway, just like they did it anyway back then. The world isn't that bloody different. There seems to be a large swathe of people on the internet who just wanna bemoan this big conspiracy that they're the victims of and silenced by, when in actuality they're the loudest dullest voices in comments sections. If you don't care about offending people, then what the fuck are you whining about, and what the fuck is stopping you? Is your mouth literally being duct taped? Is someone going around ruining your phones and keyboards so you can't type? It certainly doesn't seem that way... In a society where people take offense to things, this gimmick did work. And still has problems. And still worked. Wouldn't be any different now.

AzureSymbiote plus who wants a to see a retarded character gimmick?

Same here. One of my friends, whose disabilities are worse than my own, even got into the wrestling biz because Eugene showed him that he doesn't have to be perfect all around to do what he wanted.

As someone with disability, I really dislike him. I like he make an impact for others, but for me it was facepalming and I was happy when HHH beat him down.

***** Yeah, that would be cool. I'm hoping he makes it out of the shit hole he's working in right now though. One of those small promotions that utilizes several wrestlers with little to no training, putting wrestlers with the training and talent at risk. My friend is in the hospital at the moment because his opponent, who was suppose to lose, threw a tantrum and kept dropping my friend on his neck.

*when

Pepperidge Farms Remembers

The gimmick of that nature would never work in a PG atmosphere.

I'm not that flexible...it would have been more like Sweet Shin Music!

Dick Kick City?

What about hitting the RKo?

let's go retro ... how's about the Rude Awakening? or even a simple inverted atomic drop which no one seems to use these days.

No way in hell he's getting that dude up for a RAD lmao

Ghost_Vinyl_Media58 Samoan Joe idk y he said it like tht

+Ghost_Vinyl_Media58 Listen to the How2Wrestling podcast for context! :)
