WWE career
Eugene is portrayed as the "mentally challenged" nephew of RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff, who was placed in the care of newly returned former Commissioner William Regal. Eugene has gained the support of superstar wrestlers The Rock and former World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit, while simultaneously becoming enemies with loudmouth announcer Jonathan Coachman and his lackey Garrison Cade. He has also survived a match with the Big Red Machine, Kane. He was later in a WWE storyline in which he was battling Triple H. The storyline ended with Eugene mercilessly beaten in a steel cage match by Triple H and portrayed with a severely separated shoulder.
The injury was largely worked; while wrestlers are often injured, any injuries mentioned on television are typically part of the storyline, and are quite often not related to a wrestler's actual injuries. Eugene returned, with Regal at his side, to feud with his "Uncle Eric". The storyline led to a match at the Taboo Tuesday pay-per-view in October 2004, in which fans could vote on the match stipulation. The chosen stipulation was that the loser would have his head shaved. Eugene won this match.
Recently, Eugene teamed with Regal to win the World Tag-Team Championships from La Résistance on the November 15, 2004 edition of WWE RAW.
