Former WWE wrestler Eugene discusses training in WWE developmental with John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Shelton Benjamin

Eugene (a/k/a Nick Dinsmore) recalled that Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Shelton Benjamin were prodigies when they all worked together in the Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental territory. "The ones like Lesnar, Cena, Shelton, those guys would pick up wrestling on the first drill," Dinsmore told Slam Wrestling. "The first time you showed them, they picked it up right away. Cena had a little bit of prior knowledge, he started in Los Angeles.

"It was just a limited knowledge that he had. When he came to Louisville, he learned so much, but his ability was the microphone skills and his backstage type presence. Brock was just a phenomenal athlete, Shelton was a great athlete." To read the full story, check out Slam Wrestling.

Powell's POV: Dinsmore is still working on the indy scene as "U-Gene." Good article. He also discusses some advice that William Regal gave him to help improve his facial expressions. He also discusses what he thinks about while playing the Eugene character.
