WWE: 10 Times Triple H Consciously Didn't Do What Was "Best For Business"

4. HHH Squashes Hot Act Eugene Like A Bug

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiZKOk7U8XI And then we go to one of the weirdest cases of spite you'll see. In 2004, Nick Dinsmore came in as Eugene, idiot savant wrestler and surprisingly hot babyface by mid-2005. The gag was simple but high-concept: He played a mildly retarded nephew of Eric Bischoff who was raised on WWF TV and thus could step into the ring and imitate all the top stars and win matches. Even the Rock came out of semi-retirement to work a program with him and verbally put him over as a new rising star. Well you know that HHH wouldn't stand for that, so during the Rock program the running joke was that Eugene was actually a huge fan of HHH. This was pretty funny, until they actually booked it as a program, with HHH taking Eugene under his wing as a mentor, before brutally turning on him and then squashing him at Summerslam 2004 so hard that the ring crew practically had to scrape his remains off the mat with putty knives afterwards. Wow, HHH, you beat the mentally deficient super-fan, what a hero you are. And now we skip ahead a few years, past D-X reunions and sort-of retirement, as he returns to his old ways in 2011...
