  • @krazyzark You bring up very strong points. I guess I always try to not think of it as a "gimmick", but rather try to enjoy the product and live within the imaginary characters' world. I actually spent months away from the dirtsheets, and actually enjoyed wrestling a lot more. To your point, I can see where fans grew tired of it. I was more appalled due to the nature of his gimmick and beating on a mentally handicap. I mean, what if a "Gay" character was beaten silly for "acting" gay?

  • @WastedWilly fans turned on Eugene because it was a lame, dead end gimmick. Sure the guy actually had a fair amount of talent, but the character was the equivalent of Zack Gowen PRETENDING he only had one leg. Imagine Mick Foley wrestling as a dry cleaner. Sure the talent would get him so far, but eventually the fans would just grow tired of the gimmick.

  • i think that the music should have done that record coming to a scratching halt sound and ended with the price is right losing horn when Vince's picture comes up

  • And so was the Mexicools, Nation of Domination, and so many other gimmicks that have come through the WWE/F product. The bottom line is, they are actors. Nick Dinsmore played the part of an 'underdog' and a 'specially challenged' competitor. If you know you have a 'character' like that, what you do has to be delicately decided...and beating on a 'specially challenged' wrestler is FAR more offensive than actually portraying one on TV.

  • Heymen's "kiss of death" was a homage to The Godfather, that shouldnt be in there

  • Eugene's gimmick was offensive to millions of people who either had special difficulties or coped with loved ones with such a trait on a daily basis. Frankly, you'd have to BE retarded to think Eugene was good

  • @WastedWilly why? it was only eugene

  • The Sandman beating on Eugene. I can't believe WWE got away with that without so much as a damn protest. That was the first time I was ever really appaulled at WWE's product. I always liked the Eugene character, and never understood why fans turned on him. When Sandman beat on Eugene and fans cheered it - I switched the channel and didn't watch the program for months.

  • One night stand 06 with RVD finally winning the world title he shouldve won years ago was the last moment the original ECW was alive.
