Eugene Released Due To His Weight?, Mickie James Interviews Nancy O'Dell

-- As announced Friday afternoon on WWE.com, Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore was released from his WWE contract. According to several sources, the feeling is that he showed up at last week's Raw taping looking terribly out of shape and Vince McMahon made the decision right then and there to cut him loose. He had just been hired back about a month ago.
McMahon is pretty big on first impressions. For instance, his first impression of Takeshi Morishima following a tryout match a year ago this week killed any possible interest in signing him. An issue of Power Slam noted the following: "August 19: Still on the warpath, Vince claims two more victims: he basically says Morishima looks like a giant, fat girl and that Laurinaitis was wasting his time by hyping such a s colourless and podgy wrestler. Vince also sagely notes that because fellow Japanese name Kenzo Suzuki tanked in WWE, obviously Morishima was likely to be a failure as well — solely on the basis of their shared ethnicity."
Reportedly, creative team wanted to get Eugene on television very quickly, so the fact that he was released after his first appearance adds further credence to the theory given. (source: www.f4wonline.com)
