* ArchEnemy: Eric Bischoff on Raw. Rob Conway while working in OVW.
* AscendedExtra: Showed up on Raw in a nonwrestling context for a while, at one point putting on some "wrestling gear" while he danced behind Wrestling/JimRoss and Wrestling/JerryLawler as they did commentary. JR of course being polite but neither took him seriously. Then a little training montage with William Regal was shown...

* BadassCape: Eugene pretended to be like Superman on Saturday Night Main Event.
* CallingYourAttacks: Yelling "Pedigree" for his Triple H action figure.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Nic Dinsmore's feud with Rob Conway is often referred as to OVW what Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Vince [=McMahon=] was to WWE. What many do not realize is how long they had been friends before OVW.

* BadassBeard: He had particularly unwieldy hair all around as Eugene but it worked when he started channeling Wrestling/MissingLink.

As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Dinsmore The Other Wiki]].

* TheRainman: This was Eugene's original gimmick - his DisabilitySuperpower was the vast amount of wrestling knowledge he had, from chain grappling to innovative impact moves to moves that hadn't been used since the 1980s like the Polish Hammer.

* UnderwearOfPower: His most common wrestling attire and wearing them was the signal Eugene was ready to pursue a roll on the active roster.

* GameBreakingInjury: During a cage match, Triple H used him to introduce a top rope knee attack he would use to separate wrestlers shoulders. Funnily enough, it ''only'' worked on Eugene.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Albeit, a {{face}} example. He started out as someone corrupt general manager Eric Bischoff only kept around as favor to a family member. Eugene wound up getting bigger pops than the main event itself, which were featuring then internet darling Chris Benoit and the always over Wrestling/ShawnMichaels.

* FinishingMove: (as Nick Dinsmore): [[SuplexFinisher German Suplex]]
