Posted November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951217 Nick 'Eugene' Dinsmore was rushed to the hospital last night in Manchester. He has since been released from the hospital, sent home and suspended indefinitely. WWE.com will have more details as they become available.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951242 Wow, was he the one that the Torch was talking about being on an unoffical suicide watch?
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951296 Everybody assumed it was Angle, but maybe it was Eugene. It is difficult to resist saying that if I was saddled with that gimmick, I'd be suicidal too. And YES...I have heard the stories that he thought it up himself and "asked" for the gimmick.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951379 I don't think this incident has anything to do with what the Torch article said. Remember, the Torch article said a "top wrestler" was on the unofficial watch, and I'd hardly call Eugene a top wrestler. It wasn't a suicide watch, either, it was reported as a death watch. I've heard the opposite of what Dave has said here, in that Nick Dinsmore's been frustrated playing the character. I can't remember where I read it, but someone at a house show yelled to him and said, "You can do better than this!" which caused him to reply, "I know."
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951394 It would seem that Dinsmore is probably frustrated with how little the character has done more than his willingness to play it.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951425 It would seem that Dinsmore is probably frustrated with how little the character has done more than his willingness to play it. That could be it, yes. I still don't think he's one of the possibilities that the Torch was talking about.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951719 Another mind-buggeringly moronic gimmick hopefully finished. It should have ended after 6 months or so when it turned out he was playing the disabled gimmick to fuck someone else over, but no.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3951944 I know that WWE.com has been all work-shooty as of late but I think it's telling they referred to him by his real name with Eugene in quotes. WWE seemed protective of that gimmick, even when people were in shoot mode. To me it says that A) Whatever happened was serious enough to use his real name and He must have fucked up pretty bad if they're going to break kayfabe on a gimmick they seemed to have a soft spot for.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3952028 Apparently, the talk around Manchester is that he got really drunk at the hotel they were at and started a fight. Take that for what it's worth.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3952074 Definitely seems odd that he was rushed to the hospital and suspended. Those two parts don't seem to mesh for a normal story.
November 18, 200519 yr comment_3952495 I'll put money on the situation not being far from this: a bunch of gobby student/chav types start making fun of him playing a handicapped guy on TV. An hour and three bars later with them following and continuing to make "mongy" gestures and "fookin spazmo!" comments, Nick gets pissed off, gets beat down and goes to hospital.
November 19, 200519 yr comment_3956045 Meltzer says the bar fight rumor is NOT true. According to him, Dinsmore passed out backstage after the show and was suspended and sent home. The blanks can sort of be filled in. Of all the weeks to do something really stupid ...

An hour and three bars later with them following and continuing to make "mongy" gestures and "fookin spazmo!" comments Did you jus make up a series of your own words? This is the same kind of shit that got Scorpio jobbing for years and one of the Dupp brothers fired. I remember hearing stories of Scorpio's drug use, but never backstage affecting his performance in the ring...are those REALLY the reasons WWF had him jobbing. Its Vince and Co after all, it couldve easily been something else stupid. Whatever happened to the Dupps,anyway?

November 19, 200519 yr comment_3958819 All I remember about the Dupps is one was Trevor Murdoch, one passed away. and one was alleged to be the one being blown by The Kat in that famous pic that made Jerry Lawler turn into a heartbroken teenager on his website.
November 19, 200519 yr comment_3959551 They need to start having organized activities when they go overseas. The trips are always disasters because the guys get over there and can basically only having drinking as an option to amuse themselves.

One of the Dupps was drugged up at WM X-7 and was spotted by Linda McMahon as someone was trying to drag him out of sight, IIRC.
November 19, 200519 yr comment_3960630 one was alleged to be the one being blown by The Kat in that famous pic that made Jerry Lawler turn into a heartbroken teenager on his website. Wasn't that Russ Haas?
November 19, 200519 yr comment_3960980 one was alleged to be the one being blown by The Kat in that famous pic that made Jerry Lawler turn into a heartbroken teenager on his website.Wasn't that Russ Haas? No, the Haas Brothers (Charlie and Russ) were not travelling with the WWF until later that year. However, the Dupp Brothers (Some combination of Bo, Stan, and Jack, IIRC) were dark-match guys at that point and even did matches at the WM X-7 Fan-Fest.

I'm not sure if Jack's actually dead. I think he just had a heart attack like Russ Haas did and had to retire.
November 20, 200519 yr comment_3964289 I thought I remembered JR and King doing one of those "one of our development guys passed away" moments with him like they did with Russ Haas.
