#5 Triple H did not want to face Eugene at WWE Summerslam
Former WWE Superstar Nick Dinsmore aka Eugene revealed that Triple H had initially refused to have a match against him at SummerSlam 2004. However, Vince McMahon was adamant about the match and it finally happened.
Speaking to Rene Dupree on his podcast, Dinsmore spoke about his time in the company and how his match against Triple H came about at SummerSlam. Even though The Game felt the match did not need to happen at a show as big as SummerSlam.
“Someone had said, I don’t know if this is true, he (Triple H) didn’t feel like Eugene was the right guy he probably should have wrestled at SummerSlam. But Vince was like, ‘No, this is the blow-off, we need a pinnacle here.’ I don’t know, but Triple H definitely had fun with it because all of a sudden he’s got a guy who can work a different character,'' said Dinsmore
The match was won by Triple H, who again beat Eugene a few weeks later on an episode of Monday Night RAW.
