Nick Dinsmore worked in WWE as “Eugene” in the early 2000s, before being released from the company in 2007.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, Dinsmore opined on his WWE departure, why he believes it was good for him, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his release from the company: “I got released for being non-compliant to the wellness policy. Although I failed one wellness policy, and back then it was supposed to be three, but I know it was probably the best thing for me at the time. After that, I didn’t know what I was going to do. Then the phone started ringing for indie shows nonstop, and I started working almost as much as I did with WWE on the indie shows.”
On returning to the company as a coach in 2013: “I was told I was on a short list of guys they wanted to hire, and a short list of one person, which was me,” Dinsmore said. “They were transferring from FCW in Tampa to the Performance Center in Orlando and they wanted to build a big coaching staff and they brought me down there.”
