Mearl267 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Man, I didn't know Dinsmore was an EIGHT time heavyweight champ down there. Anywho, the segments are awesome, and I've always liked the exploitation of retards. Can't wait to see Nick go over Rob next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Honestly, if you didn't see the idiot savant angle coming from last week, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The only problem with the angle/gimmick is that it limits Dinsmore. You can't have an autistic World Champ, or even Intercontinental Champ. He'll just wallow in the midcard, no matter how great in the ring or how over he is. It's just the way it is. I've got a feeling when the gimmick runs its course they have someone do something to him that means he 'snaps' out of it. Of course you can't medically do that with autism but that will be what WWE do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cut to Eugene being stretchered out, and JR muttering, "It always used to work on The Flintstones..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's ways out of it... it can be gradually phased out ala Kane/Bubba Dudley/Rick Steiner. He can turn heel and reveal that it's a gimmick, or reveal Bischoff forced him to act like that to keep his job. Or they can do the Russo "shoot" angle and have him come out and complain about Gewirtz making him play a retard every week on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Disnmore making Regal his bitch was over-looked in my original post. Regal demonstrating the arm drag, and Eugene out of nowhere going "Ricky Steamboat!" then Regal is all "Yes, Ricky Steamboat did arm drags, and good ones at that" or something along those lines.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 4, 2004 They need to do a segment where Regal and Flair just stand there and bark names and Eugene mimics them. Regal: Sting (eugene mimics the stinger splash and wooo shout) Flair: BAGWELL~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 It was an awesome segment and they are DEFINATELY doing what we all here suggested. If he is gonna be like Rain man then Wrestling is he a savant about...... The vuneriblity for him will be him getting attacked in the back. He probably couldn't defend himself because in his mind he only equates Wrestling within the ring. I think what would be cool is if Eugine starts shouting out called shots... like before he does a armdrag he calls out STEAMBOAT! Or maybe a Flying Elbow drop he goes SAVAGE! or a Dropkick KILLER BEE! etc etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dace59 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Eh, that gimmick's only cool for Damien 666 and Stroker in comedy matches. Any WWE logic doesn't really give him a huge well to go to with that one either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Well, at least it shouldn't be cut out in the UK like other Eugene segments. Hopefully. You have to give credit to Dinsmore and Regal for making this whole storyline work, because both have played their roles brilliantly. Especially Regal, who must be one of the best performers outside of the ring the WWE currently employs. Hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Scary thought I had... WWE re-hires Zach Gowen...and puts him in a long-running feud with Eugene. I didn't mind Gowen on T.V., but there are two HUGE problems with him. 1.) He's pretty much a circus act. 2.) BEating anyone makes the person lose credibility. Look at Matt Hardy for example. Pro wrestling...I mean Sports Entertainment is not for handicapped people, especially among "smart" fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest macheteofodin Report post Posted May 4, 2004 The only reason I've been watching Raw for the past couple of weeks was because of Eugene (I'm not kidding, haha), and I missed most of the fucking training segment. I came in right when he had Regal in the Regal Stretch. I guess I'll have to wait for the "Best of Eugene DVD" to come out to see it, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted May 4, 2004 I didn't like Dr. Tom's cheering, and the Ride of the Vaklyries music being used. It seemed way too campy. Everything else amused me, though, especially the water bottle. That's hilarious. If that was intentionally funny, then bravo, sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Another thing that Eugene should do that I just thought of. Since he's the "idiot savant" of wrestling, he needs to bust out rare moves rarely used. Like the one I'm suggesting... THE GARVIN STOMP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
