Backstage News On The Surprise Firing Of Eugene

Yesterday, World Wrestling Entertainment released Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore.

According to reports, Nick Dinsmore was surprised by the release. He was in the arena at last night's ECW/SmackDown tapings in Cincinnati, Ohio and was at the talent meeting before the event started which Stephanie McMahon conducted.

After the meeting, he was notified of his release and was apparently escorted from the arena.

Nick Dinsmore was not in the list of names listed by the media as being a Signature Pharmacy customer, however reports suggest that his release was due to a Wellness Program violation. Dinsmore was previously suspended in November 2005 due to violating the program.
