This is like the first time I can recall recently were wwe.com hasnt used the person's real name as well when they announce their release. Are they still trying to keep kayfabe with him, even in his release? That part is weird. How sad is it that they could not respect him enough to give him that respect on his way out the door? I'm surprised that they didn't say he was fired for giving away guns as part of the Guns For Toys promotion, and for tripping Vince by accident with his Fisher Price Corn Popper. They've been hellbent taking all of Nick's dignity away from him. I find it hard to believe someone like him would want to dress in a ridiculous superhero costume for the end of his WWE career.

That does suck. He never got a fair chance in the wwe. he was stuck with such a weird gimmick. And they never went with the whole, I was faking it angle. Which could have put nick on the next level as a heel. That's what really kills me. They had a shot to make that a great angle, and they blew it, because they didn't want to hurt the merch sales when he was hot with the kids, and then when they had to depush him, they never took advantage. Again, it sucks that the guy doesn't have a job, but I can see this as only being good for Nick. Not having to be Eugene all the time because of kayfabe's gotta feel like getting out of jail.

as much as I liked Eugene and found him funny....he was kinda pointless.
he'll end up in TNA most likely or something. maybe he can earn his dignity back this time.

I have mixed opinions about this Release
The Eugene Character was so 2004, I enjoyed it to begin with but afterwords i found myself Disliking him more and more every week.
However I feel much more could have been done with it. I really wish we could have seen more Heel Eugene, Or the suggested Storyline where he tires of Pretending to be a Tard.
None the less get ready for the Rants on Impact 90 Days from now.

A little more on his leaving from PWInsider:
Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore was among those who sitting in one the meeting regarding changes in the WWE Wellness Policy. Following the meeting, he was informed he was released from the company and led out of the building. Dinsmore was slated to take a more active role in Ohio Valley Wrestling working with some of the greener talent, so the release was said to have been a complete shock to him

Hopefully he will follow Joey Mercury's footsteps and become a trainer at OVW or FCW just to prove he's responsible.

I know Dinsmore wasn't made to be eugene, but after years of being left in OVW while green wrestler after green wrestler was called up because of their size I guess it began to affect him. Becoming eugene got him on the roster, and even though it was a stupid character it was better than sitting in OVW waiting for your chance again.

An unfond farewell to one of the longest-running wrestlecrap gimmicks ever.
Still, that's a classless way to do it to him.

Y'know what's killing me? Everyone's jumping to the conclusion that this was drug-related, which no one, not even the dirtsheets, has tied into. Until there's concrete proof that he was fired for a drug-related thing (which is still BS, since more than likely, Masters and Orton will still be with the company this year), I say lay off the drug talk. The guy's getting kicked enough while he's down as it is. The last thing we need is more high-school lunchtime rumor shit.

I am listening to the PWI audio update and they mention that it appears to be wellness related. He sat in on the wrestlers meeting and was later pulled aside. His behavior at the taping was seen as red flag. EDIT: Just saw this on Wrestlezone but, I'd take there stuff with a grain of salt: Eugene was released by WWE because he recently violated WWE's Wellness Policy for a third time. After a recent drug test, Eugene had a prescription drug show up in his system and he was unable to produce proof the drug was properly prescribed to him by a doctor
