[edit] Criticism
Is there no recorded criticism of this the Eugene persona (i.e. as deprecatory toward mentally challenged individuals?) --Dpr 09:35, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- why should there be?
- For the most part, Dinsmore's Eugene character has been well-received. This is a bit surprising, seeing as how WWE has a history of creating deprecatory characters based on stereotypes (see: Muhammad Hussan, Billy/Chuck, et al). I think the angle works well because the way they portray Eugene isn't necessarily just a caricature of the mentally challenged. I think it also helps that he is used as more than just a gimmicky source of entertainment—he received a genuine push, and seems to be treated less as a "mentally-challenged wrestler" and more of a wrestler who happens to be mentally challenged.
- Of course, none of what I just said has to do with your comment, but this does: there hasn't been a significant enough backlash for it to warrant much of a mention, at least in my opinion. Jeff Silvers 05:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to agree. I don't find criticism worth mentioning unless it gains steam.
- Although I wish the WWE let him wrestle as Nick "Mr. Wrestling" Dinsmore. He was very technical back in Ohio Valley Wrestling --Godaiger
- Yeah i've heard some backlash but its not consistent or relevant, and i too have heard he is a great technical wrestler and also competent on the mic, so its a shame that he's used for such a lame gimmick
[edit] Tell us your reaction
How did you feel about Eugene getting beaten up by The Sandman?--Ed-kipedia 20:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
That stupid-ass deserved every shot and 50 more.
