Nicholas David Dinsmore (born
December 17,
1975 in
Jeffersonville, Indiana), is an
American professional wrestler who is best known as

World Wrestling Entertainment. He is a former holder of the WWE
World Tag Team Championship with

Career
Breaking in
Dinsmore wrestled in
Ohio Valley Wrestling under his real name, partnered with
Rob Conway. Dinsmore even made some WWE appearances, wrestling as
Doink the Clown on two separate occasions, and as one half of
Los Conquistadores with Conway. Afterwards, Eugene had a minor feud with
Triple H. Later, Eugene would injure himself at
New Year's Revolution after
botching a
dropkick. He suffered a ruptured left
patella tendon which required surgery and sidelined him for several months.
2005
He also made a surprise appearance at
WrestleMania 21, delivering a trademark Eugene
promo until being interrupted by the controversial Arab-American
heels Muhammed Hassan and
Daivari who then attacked Eugene. This was the prelude to the much anticipated return of
Hulk Hogan, who came to the ring to save Eugene from the double-team beating. Angle eventually won back his medal at
SummerSlam. Eugene then had a brief stint as a tag team with
Tajiri until Tajiri's release later that year.
On
November 18, 2005, WWE.com reported that Dinsmore was rushed to the hospital the previous night after passing out in a hotel lobby and was suspended indefinitely. A further report days later announced that Dinsmore admitted to taking prescription drugs such as
somas. This coincided with the announcement of WWE's new drug policy following the death of
Eddie Guerrero due to heart failure aggravated by his past history of drug abuse.
After making an appearance at
One Night Stand 2006.On
September 3,
2006 on an edition of Monday Night RAW, Eugene and Jim Duggan challenged then World Tag Team Champions the Spirit Squad for the titles but were unsuccessful after Kenny rolled-up Duggan using his tights for leverage. Later, Eugene and his partner "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan would split up after a match on
RAW in which the losers were forced to split their tag team. They lost to the
Spirit Squad. After the match, Eugene got upset and fustrated then attacked Duggan by accident.
2007
In January, Eugene would make fun of
Matt Striker and
King Booker on a WWE.com video. Eugene then competed mainly on
Heat. On the
March 19 2007 episode of Raw, Eugene was put into a match against
Umaga as a punishment for accidentally spilling a drink on
Vince McMahon. After losing in a
Squash match, McMahon shaved Eugene's head while Umaga was choking him out and McMahon was screaming that he was shaving
Trump's head bald. The next week, Vince had Eugene's hair shaven and verbally abused him.
Eugene also wrestled at
Saturday Night's Main Event, debuting his new wrestling attire, a
Superman-like costume. Eugene fought in a 6-man tag team match with
Kane,
Doink The Clown, and he defeated
Kevin Thorn,
Viscera, and
Umaga.
On
June 17,
2007, Eugene was drafted to
SmackDown! as their final pick of the 2007
Supplemental Draft. On the
June 29 edition of
Smackdown, Eugene, wearing his new 'superhero' like attire, was chokeslammed in his
SmackDown! in-ring debut by
The Great Khali. The week after that, Eugene was misled by
Deuce N' Domino, which led to him being easily defeated in a quick match against
Mark Henry.
Eugene also participated in the Battle Royal for the
World Heavyweight Championship; he got eliminated by a temporary team-work of
Batista and
Kane. He then teamed with Shannon Moore to take on Deuce and Domino, but failed. His last appearance in a WWE ring was on the
August 31, edition of Friday Night Smackdown. He was shooting t-shirts into the crowd via t-shirt gun and accidentally shot Mark Henry. Henry retaliated by squeezing him with a bearhug until he passed out. On
September 1,
2007 Dinsmore was released by WWE due to a third failed drug test.
In
October 2007, Dinsmore was signed to become the head official in charge of Derby City Wrestling, the intermediate-level group affiliated with Ohio Valley Wrestling. In this position, he replaced the departing
Joey Matthews.
Return to Ohio Valley Wrestling (2008-Current)
In
February 2008, Dinsmore returned to
OVW and reverted back to his "Mr. Wrestling" gimmick as
Nick Dinsmore. According to the angle he's currently doing, the entire Eugene character and storylines were a dream, and he's just woken up. On February 20, Dinsmore defeated
Jay Bradley to win the
