There have been several controversial characters in the history of WWE but nothing like Eugene could ever get reproduced in the current time. Eugene was one of the wrestlers from the attitude era who was supposedly a person with a disability. Eugene enjoyed working with several legendary wrestlers including Kurt Angle. Now Kurt Angle in his Kurt Angle Show recalled his feud with Eugene and explained the logic behind the move.

But if you are gonna pair up Eugene with anybody the Olympian Gold Medalist Kurt Angle might be a good pairing.”
Angle added, “I think we had great chemistry. And the way he rubbed me the wrong way really worked. I mean I was able to create some heat with it. But to be honest with you, if I remember the fans were actually cheering for me when Eugene and I wrestled. I remember this, it didn’t go the way it planned.”
