He used the conflict as a platform to promote French culture and his claim of French superiority. Despite being handsome and talented, this European socialite isn’t exhibits crass arrogance and condescending behavior toward WWE's Divas, Superstars and fans. He bothered Superstars and fans from the day of his RAW debut a part of the thee-man La Resistance faction with Sylvain Grenier & Rob Conway. But there is no denying that Dupree has the tools to be just as great as he boasts. In fact, in his first year as a RAW Superstar, Dupree won the World Tag Team Championship with Grenier, taking on all challengers. In 2004, Dupree was traded to SmackDown as part of the Draft Lottery. Instantly, Dupree continued to turn heads and make a name for himself. Dupree would butcher the English language while flirting with the Divas of SmackDown -- only to insult them afterward. In doing so, the French Phenom made a lot of enemies ... fast. These days, Rene Dupree is focused on his singles career after being traded in conjunction with the 2005 Draft Lottery to RAW. |
