10 Most Disastrous Wrestling Heel Turns

10. Eugene

Eric Bischoff's "special" nephew turned heel on an episode of Raw in November 2006, furiously attacking Jim Duggan with his own 2x4 after the duo lost a match to the Spirit Squad (yes, that - not getting routinely mocked by the entire roster - was the final straw).

Suffice it to say, this was the first time that Eugene - real name Nick Dinsmore - had worn the colours of evil since stepping up from the territories two years earlier. His character, up until the moment he snapped, had shown absolutely no predilection for wrong-doing.

To his credit, Dinsmore's performance on the night was actually pretty convincing. He looked like a fundamentally good man who was suddenly overcome by a violent outburst he didn't really understand, which is exactly what you suspect the architects of the angle had asked of him.

If anything, he played it too well. It was impossible for fans to hate the guy, even though they had just watched him unleash a vicious assault on a beloved (if occasionally irritating) Hall of Famer. Small wonder, then, that the character shift was abruptly dropped a couple of weeks later, with Eugene swiftly rejoining the forces of good.
