The Fenchies?

[Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

They said America Suck and even though the French suck, they rule.

 

 

I heard Dupree is talented, but the other one blew.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Granier is from Canada so I don't know if they're going for pure French or French Canadian.

 

Didn't they say on Confidential that Dupree had talent, but no mic skills or something like that?

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

They also said on Confidential that the WWE had a good product. C'mon, they are products of the developmental system. It will be the same old same old, hip-toss, drop-kick, pose, pose, pose, pose, elbow, some pointless move to show that they are "original" and then another hip toss, armdrag, dropkick, elbow, pose, pose, pose, pose.

[Guest RedJed]

I think the tag team could have promise, shades of the Rougeau brothers but with the heat level turned all the way up because of the French gimmck and the current US feelings towards them (in general at least).......but if they are on Raw, forget about it. The Anti-Americans failed miserably on Raw because all of them were booked very blandly, the same could happen here easily.

 

I bet that this will indeed lead to the APA return, but hey that could work, at least make for a semi-memorable moment if they make it a surprise and they show up when this team is doing some heelish regarding the U.S. or something. I'm all for it.

[Guest Vyce]

At least it will be fun to hate them.

 

It's ridiculously fun to hate the French. It's goddamn INFECTIOUS.

[Guest El Satanico]

The French are better than you, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

 

now go away before I taunt you a second time.

[Guest SP-1]

I think it's a bit early to say whether they suck in the ring or not. I'm interested . . . but that's about as far as it goes.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

It's not early at all.

[Guest thetrendsetter]

Rene Dupre (One E) is a worker from New Brunswick, Canada. He's been wrestling since he's been 14, and is absolutley chiselled.

 

I can remember a match at the Halifax Forum against Wildman Gary Williams, where Rene went over the top rope, missed grabbing the rope on the way over, and bounced his head off the concrete HARD!!!!

 

He's an good worker, and since he's 19, the fed can put 5 years into him to just develop him.

 

I'll make a prediction and say if The Rock, Stone Cold and Hogan were the Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull of wrestling, then Dupre will be the Wayne Gretzky

I'd totally mark out if one of them said

 

"I'm French! Can't you tell by my outrageous accent!"

 

Silly accents is the futur eof pro wrestling. Just ask Eddie Guerrerro.

[Guest Goodear]

To be fair, WWE developmental has produced some reasonable talents in Angle (okay he's a little more than reasonable), Benjamin, Haas, Lesner and Cena. Plus they just signed indy darling Brian Kendrick up... so I think RRR's complaints are a little overboard.

[Guest converge241]

yes!

 

i was amped at the thought of

Rougeaus 2K3

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I actually kinda like this. I'm sure their gimmick will suck and everything. But I like that they're bringing back the cheesey little videos to show off wrestlers before they show up. Like with Nathan Jones.

 

Although they should live the French gimmick and tap out 3 seconds into any submission hold.

 

"We surrender!"

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

It's the Ragu Sisters all over again. They should have the Mountie as their manager. Why not, they're bringing everyone else back.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

It's not like the WWFE has had a new idea the last 2 years. Well...there was Katie Vick though.

[Guest converge241]

"They should have the Mountie as their manager"

 

that would SO rule!!

[Guest Bricks]

As long as they sing their own theme song, I'll be a happy man.

[Guest The Tino Standard]

Sylvain Grenier came from an indy organization (which one, I can't remember). Apparently, he was a pretty nice guy and had some talent, but the instant he had a WWE contract, the guy apparently turned into a huge prick and started bragging to everybody around him.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Yeah, they should totally sing their own theme song!

 

On a side note, didn't one of the Rougeaus come back as a backstage interviewer or something for a while in the 90s?

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Where is Nikolai Volkoff....he ruled. Honestly.

Bring back Boris Zhukov too... the Bolsheviks rocked. Boris had the biggest human head in recorded history as well.

[Guest nikowwf]

We should all cheer the french people and chant "FRANCE RULES" when they come out, just to f*ck with Vince's world view. He'd be so confused how to book he may need to shut down the show.

 

F*cking morons are booking like its 1980.

 

niko

[Guest notJames]

Jingoistic claptrap makes baby Jesus cry.

 

If this heralds the return of the new and improved All-American Acolytes, I'm gonna shit in a beer and make Vinnie Mac drink it.

 

War does strange things to people…

[Guest El Satanico]

:imagines Bradshaw in bright red and blue tights with bradshaw in white letters down one leg:

 

damn you Vince...damn you

[Guest RenegadeX28]

Hmmm....this could be the real Anti-American tag team. At least Grenier is over a bit for screwing Hogan.

[Guest areacode212]

Yeah, they should totally sing their own theme song!

 

On a side note, didn't one of the Rougeaus come back as a backstage interviewer or something for a while in the 90s?

Yes, and Ray Rougeau may still be doing it for the French language broadcasts. When I was living in Montreal, he was doing interviews & French commentary with some dork on "Les Etoiles de la lutte" (or whatever the hell French WWF Superstars was called then). Anyone know if he still does this?

[Guest HartFan86]

I think it's awesome that a 19 year old kid is on WWE TV...that's like the youngest, EVER.

[Guest AndrewTS]

I actually kinda like this. I'm sure their gimmick will suck and everything. But I like that they're bringing back the cheesey little videos to show off wrestlers before they show up. Like with Nathan Jones.

"We surrender!"

That would be la merde!!

 

They also need to bitch to catering about their processed American bread and cheese.

 

They also need to stuff McDonalds' hamburgers in their mouths, complaining about it and "dirty American imperialism" while obviously loving it the whole time.

 

They simply MUST riot over every little thing as well.

[Guest Imarkout4chrisdaniels]

Dupre IS in awesome shape as someone said earlier. He has been training and eating high protein/low carbs since the start of high school. That is dedication to becoming a wrestler. I think he has a lot of potential, but you never know what willcome out of it. He seems VERY dedicated, though.

[Guest Ram]

What are they going by again?

 

The Sylvians or something like that?
