Nick Densmore On Eugene, TNA, Etc
Nick Dinsmore was the guest on Tuesday Night's edition of talkIMPACTradio.. Here are a few memorable highlights from the interview.
-Nick says he's still living the dream.. Getting to work wrestling shows all throughout the world.
-The show lost Nick on the line and called him back on the air to which we heard his CallTune, a classical song. Indy asked Nick about the music and whether it was coincidental or not. Nick said it's not, he actually studied classical music in college and was going to be a pianist, But instead became a professional wrestler. The two made quick puns about the word pianist.
-Nick was asked about the Hulkamania Tour and remembered the Australian crowd as being very gracious and awesome. Naturally, Indy asked about Nick's relationship with Hulk Hogan and whether working for his tour would translate to TNA.. Would we see Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore in TNA? Nick said just like Hulk says, "Never say Never."
-Nick says there's no immediate plans for working for TNA, but hopefully soon they can come to an agreement. He would love to work for TNA and thinks they are an amazing company.
-Nick said the return of the Monday Night Wars is a great thing.
-A caller called and asked what he thinks he could offer TNA on a mainstream scale.. Nick said he has unlimited potential. He said before he was ever on WWE TV, He was the one training guys like John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, etc down in Louisville before they became the stars. So he could help train the stars of tomorrow. If TNA wants a kids character, He could do that.. if not, he can help train their stars for tomorrow.
-Nick was asked about his transition from Nick Dinsmore the established OVW wrestler to the "Eugene" character on TV. Nick first clarified that he brought the idea for the character to WWE, it was his creation. So he knew the character and who it was, Making the transition simple. Indy asked if he or the WWE received a lot of backlash or angry letters over the gimmick and Nick said there was none that he was aware of.
-Nick was asked about working with The Rock. Nick said it was a great honor and The Rock was amazingly gracious for doing what he did for Nick. That moment got the Eugene character over for good. It was one of those instances where Rock didn't have to do it, but he did.
-Nick was asked what legend he hasn't gotten to work with that he would most like to have.. His answer was Eddie Guerrero.
-Indy mentioned that Nick's "Eugene" character has been involved in a ton of funny segments on WWE programs. Nick was asked what his favorite funny segment was. Nick said it would probably be from his second or third week on television where Regal was at the announce table and was suppose to be watching Eugene.. And eventually Eugene ended up at the pyro table and started pressing the pyro buttons initiating explosives.
-Nick will be taking part in a wrestling tour coming up that involves traveling to 7 military bases in South Korea and performing for the troops.
