Eugene reveals how The Rock helped him in WWE

Nick Dinsmore, formerly known as Eugene, has worked with a lot of WWE A-listers, like Kurt Angle and Triple H. But Dinsmore revealed that it was The Rock who helped him grow in the fans’ eyes. It was segment with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that catapulted his image as a WWE wrestler.

Dinsmore recently appeared for an interview with Chris Van Vliet. He discussed his WWE career and the wrestling business in great detail during the interview.

“When they put me in the ring with The Rock, that elevated me like oh my God. Then people knew who I was and then fans really got endeared to me because I was The Rock’s friend. They liked Eugene and he was funny and he was building, but that just put it over the top. It went from a slow build to oh my God, you’re a top guy now. You’re made.”

The whole interview is available on Chris Van Vliet’s YouTube channel.

The Rock – Eugene segment

The duo of The Rock and Eugene shared the ring years back in May 2004 in a WWE Raw episode. Eugene recalled that how he couldn’t believe that he was going to be in a segment with The Rock.

Eugene kept on forgetting his lines prior to the segment. But The Rock helped him during the segment by feeding him the lines.

The segment led to The Rock and Eugene teaming up against Jonathan Coachman and Garrison Cade. The Rock even allowed Eugene to hit the People’s Elbow.
