After last night, I'm diggin' the Eugene gimmick. I like despite Bischoff (and Regal) wanting Eugene to lose, he still pulled out the win, while staying in character. On top of that, he was pretty over with the crowd. I still have a few doubts about the gimmick, and Nick Dinsmore is going to have to lose it at some point if he's going to be taken seriously. No upper card wrestler can still be credible after losing to a "very special wrestler". Look at how long it's taken Matt Hardy to get TV time after losing to Zach Gowen (where is he, by the way?)
I figured HHH/Benjamin #3 was going to be a way for HHH to get a sketchy win, and get his heat back. I was a little off. Shelton didn't get anything out of the match, it was booked to lead into an HHH/HBK match. At least that means that HHH probably won't be getting a title shot next week, unless HBK forces his way into that, making the Bad Blood main event Benoit/HHH/HBK - The Real Final Encounter, Just Like How The Eagles Are Done Touring Now.
