      I always think of what could have been with all the ruthless aggression era guys they flopped on. So much talent wasted purely due to the fact that the higher ups had massive ego's. Imagine guys like Rene and Paul in wwe today guiding the younger guys, it would be a much different product.

    Fun fact: the match London is talking about where he busted himself open on the turnbuckle, won the match & then got beaten down by Chavo, was the very match/episode that got 14yr old me back into wrestling. I remember flipping through channels & I came to that episode of Smackdown & was blown away due to the way London wrestled. Haven't looked back since, so, thanks Paul! Great interview btw!

    I take my hat off to you Mr. Dupree for to come into the business at such an early age and as well excell the way you have over time. I can't stress enough on how amazingly phenomenal you were athletically, great worker, and as well a tremendous ring technician. I just couldn't understand how they dropped the ball on you, not seeing your true self worth as a talent then, and in my damn honest opinion Mr. Dupree, WWE never deserved you at all whatsoever dude! Thank you for all your contributions Sir, and blessing us with your craft in that squared circle!🙏

    @shanestephens4728 2 года назад +5

    Not that I’ve ever worked there (obviously) but in my opinion, the greatest decision WWE has ever made was basically removing cannabis/THC off of the drug testing spectrum. If these brothers and sisters are expected to keep the elite athletic physiques AND the breakneck schedule, there has to be a way to release that also doesn’t cause the long-term damages of prescription medication or alcohol abuse.
    Just a long-winded way of saying cannabis actually fucking helps and I wish it, and the people who chose to use it, weren’t so stigmatized for so long.
    Hope you’re well, Rene.

    1:13:58 - this story always gets me. That just could NOT have happened any other way. A dude who doesn't drink, refused a drink with Undertaker himself... no harm no foul.... later down the road, takes a random shot at the EXACT opportune moment that the Undertaker walks by. And then some other party that had jack shit to do with it takes advantage of that situation. See? Who says that being a pro wrestler isn't the same as a corporate job?

    40:15 After hearing the Stevie night heat , the cm punk ice cream bars thing and then paul making an elimination memorable, I see what WWE is good at. WWE is good at ripping superstars ideas away from them and claiming it as their own. They do this to either give that idea to said wrestler or another wrestler. They hate when the opportunities of no value they give to wrestlers ends up being memorable without them. Not having a hand in it to receive credit, makes them act the way paul described.
