10 Wrestling Feuds Where The Bad Guy Won
4. Triple H Vs. Eugene
Back to the 'Cerebral Assassin' for a scheme as needlessly convoluted as the character it sought to victimise, as Hunter's using and abusing of Eugene in 2004 took centre stage over just about every other angle on Monday Night Raw...all to get for programmes that didn't even feature him.
Much to the chagrin of his Evolution buddies, Triple H played nicey nicey with superfan Eugene and his undiagnosed-but-broad learning difficulty, because the character was over as f*ck and 'The Game' couldn't have any of that. Or, in kayfabe, because he was part of a master plan.
See, said scheme involved Hunter getting in Eugene's head so he'd help him defeat Chris Benoit, but isn't it pretty f*cking stupid to rely on the guy you've already acknowledged as being a little bit slower on the uptake than everybody else? And isn't it equally f*cking stupid to get so infuriated by the plan going awry that you crush and abuse the character to such an extent that the audience doesn't even want the act of revenge anymore and the gimmick is no longer worthy as a headline concern.
Yes to all of the above. This was a pathetic powerplay behind the camera and a pitiful one in front of it.
