I wish he didn’t lie about taking juice
Have always LOVED Rene Dupree as a performer! He was safe/solid in the ring and always improving,while being a literal fucking kid. Dude was a TEENAGER, built like a Vince fever dream and had a natural heel charisma on the mic. Imagine if he came up in recent NXT and had time to improve both in ring and on mic. If he spent 2 yrs. there, would be an absolute BEAST at 21 yrs. entering the main roster. IF ever booked (pretty big if) as more than the cowardly womanizer, foreigner...he had the tools to be a upper midcard mainstay and possibly evolve into the world title scene. I don't care how WWE rubbed salt in his wounds,by making that kid who needs a haircut tag champ! HUGE ASTERISK! Rene was a LEGITIMATE tag champion as a fucking TEENAGER! A first Rd blue chip player like him, should have had more eyes on him,to help guide his career and keep the JBL's/Holly's from incessantly breaking his balls,trying to force him out. Hazing is one thing.... harassment is another. Rene was JAAAAACKED, and should have fucking cracked either of them......but they golf w)Vince, so tough spot. Dupree and la Resistance got heat from the fans. Yet it was clear that Vince had Renee pegged as the breakaway singles star yet still had him on training wheels and would not allow him to take them off. Hunter even challenge grenade saying it's easy to get heat with a French flag behind which Renee took to heart. And if you watch that era Renee got heat based on his character and especially his treatment of women. On the flip side, there was a time where the fans began take to Renee and actually cheer him quite often during his matches. It was enough to make one Wonder if the fans were beginning to see this pompous chauvinistic egomaniacal Frenchman as a baby face!.….... Which culminated into huge pops whenever he introduced his taunt which along with taz's call of it seem to change perception of the possible heel, into maybe more of a baby face. His taunt was called
The" French tickler dance"unquote, and it involved him introducing his ab work looking out at the crowd proudly and fluidly leaping from his left foot to his right with his hands at his sides as if to say, "This is how I roll", and along with taz's commentary of"I am a French man and I like to dance we French man like to dance romance" etc.(would change sometimes)
As ridiculous as this sounds Dupree was getting super over because his taunt actually fit his character so well! But we know how Vince who is supposed to do his best to make popular stars seems to like to do things his way and if a popular wrestler has something going on his own which events didn't create it will often be smashed and swept by the wayside as if it never happened and Vince will come up with something for the aforementioned wrestler.
For example, remember......
" I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS"! Wade Barrett did EVERYTHING WWE asked of him and came up w/something that the audience LOVED and was excited to work on/evolve. ......then Vince said
"You are a heel. I don't want the fans cheering heels"! (Then turn him face, he had nothing going on) .......but don't worry Wade, Ol'Vince had BIG plans for you..........
" All hail KING(most garbage,thrown together, partially non revised tourney) BARRETT"! Poor Wade had to walk out there in that cartoony bullshit costume.....but it gets even better Wade.... LEAGUE OF NATIONS!!! WOW!
I respect Wade for leaving. After being in something that fulfilled him creatively and actually GOT OVER(which isn't easy), he had to completely ditch BNB and be a cartoon henchmen, in a party city costume!
In a professional team oriented environment, I think Dupree had the potential to be a top guy. Imagine, being a nineteen yr. old champ!
I would also love to confirm w/Rene ,that once the "FT" starting getting over, did Vince order him to stop using the taunt?
That experience being in WWE that young and not realizing there is literally trouble all around you and ppl out to get you, to keep their spots etc, must have been rough.
I am POSITIVE this dude wanted to drop a bomb on Holly or JBL or whoever, but it ts tough....cuz like, they're your Father's age and you don't know if you would get fired/suspended etc. Sure homeboy portrayed a cowardly heel, but he was fucking SHREDDED! Not ashamed to say, that Rene was my benchmark/goal when I was a gymrat. Got in SIIIIIIIICK shape, just electric. Ddnt use the gas! Lol.
And to this day,the "French tickler" is my main taunt. After work, we went to Kings bowling/bar/lasertag etc. across st. THREE strikes in a row, three FT's and some heat! WORTH IT! Wish this guy well forever!

W h I just called you and I can do it tomorrow and I can
Allo rene!! Tabarnac!! Lol I know I didn’t spell your name in the proper french spelling. I suck with typing translations. I believe you know my cousin, he wrestles under the name Marco Estrada. I am french as well, i am a Blanchard. My dads entire family is from lameque, tracadi, shippagan etc. Years back when we saw you got hired from wwe , we were so excited that someone from our hometown made it to the highest level. Especially a small island / very small area most people don’t know about. I love your work. You probably won’t see this but i just wanted to give a shout out.
