Not gonna lie, I feel HHH’s “Eugene, I…Hate…You” promo is one of the all time great heel promos in WWE history. He’s so charismatically scummy and dismissive. And then Regal is a badass right afterwards.

They'd foreshadowed it, back when WWE cared about a match more than a couple of weeks before it happened. When asked who his favorite wrestler was, Eugene said it was Triple H, "because I like to play games!" Oh yes, that was great. But Eugene wasn't really meant for a serious feud with HHH, nor for getting involved with world title matches or the world title scene in general. It happened so quickly too. Dude goes from feuding with Jonathan Coachman to being involved with Evolution and being a peripheral player in the world title mix. Almost Jinder Mahal-esque in how quickly he flew up the card.

It was decent filler to keep HHH busy a few months I guess. It also had some pretty good moments in it. I remember Regal cutting a really good fiery babyface promo on HHH basically saying something to the effect that he wasn't a saint either but that never take advantage of someone who was disadvantaged.
Also another moment that sticks out is a backstage segment where the other members of Evolution were complaining about having Eugene in Evolution as part of HHH's scheme to help him get the title back. They were arguing and each giving their reason to why they should be the one to beat him up. Batista's reason was that he that he had to take him to Chucky Cheese's. For some reason I found this super humorous. Imagine those two at Chucky Cheese's. I could picture Eugeen running around and playing in the ball pit or something with Batista just sitting off in one of the tables somewhere in a muscle shirt and his sunglasses on indoors chatting up the kids mom's.
