Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 This guy is clearly the only redeeming quality left in the already rotting corpse that is Smackdown!, not to mention being able to make a tired, over-used gimmick work, and work well. He's obviously not ready for anything too huge just yet, but in a couple of years if this guy isn't main eventing pay-per views then I will be greatly surprised. He matches the image that Vince loves to jerk off over and just plain owns every part of Smackdown!. I demand more recognition. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I think it's easy to forget the kid's only 20. Hopefully he gets a lot better in the ring, though I don't know if the Cena feud is the right thing for him just yet. The future is definitely bright, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Fifi deserves a bigger singles push. She'd draw more main eventing with Eddie than Bradshaw would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I am a Rene and Fifi mark. Yep. He has all the time in the world to improve. He's only 20. The potential is there, and there is lots of it. On a side note... poor Conway being stuck with Grenier. Awesome double team though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Don't stress, UYI - Rene's feuding with John Cena. Rene hasn't honed his in-ring style just yet - but he's sure as hell a rung or five above Sylvain Grenier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Who *isn't* a rung or five above Grenier though? I sincerely hope the French Phenom dethrones Cena (who they obviously need doing bigger and better things at the moment) and goes all Lance Storm circa 2000 - renaming the belt the French World Title. Greatness. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I've been a Dupree fan from the start. The Dance owns all. And on a serious note, I still can't believe he's only 20 and he's already decent, I think the only danger is we might place too many lofty expectations on him, and if he can't meet them, he'll be shit on.

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 11, 2004 With Dupree's natural charisma and ability, I enjoy watching him work. UYI, yes, I think that Dupree will take the U.S. title from Cena, because a Frenchman (a cocky Frenchman at that) with the U.S. Championship is the way that things would go.

Guest Fook Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I don't think having Cena job to Dupree would be good right now. Cena's outpopping pretty much everyone right now and having him lose to an unproven commodity right now just so Dupree could get cheap heat by renaming the belt would just cause Cena to lose all that momentum. Plus, he just won the US title a month ago. Let him have a bit of a run with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I say fuck that...and run with my NEW DANGEROUS ALLIANCE IDEA and put Cena Against Haas. Rene doesn't need to do anything with the US Title right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Unless there's going to be a back-and-forth Cena/Dupree feud, Cena hasn't milked the U.S. Championship dry yet. As good an idea as it may be, the Dangerous Alliance thing isn't going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Dupree, i've been really impressed with him as of late, the way he can be the stereotypical French charcter outside the ring, yet still be a believeable ass kicker in the ring is good. We'll see how good he is when he has to start having more competitive matches where he has to sell, but right now he's doing great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Dupree is solid in the ring and should be really good once he gets a few years under his belt. I think it's clear he loves the business and will give it his all. Once he loses the French gimmick, he could be the next "Model." I mark out for the "YES, I AM A MODEL" button.

Guest thetrendsetter Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Funny thing is that at the age of 20, he already has 6 years in the buisness... He started when he was 14 (he was about 6', 220 at age 14) in eastern canada. He'll be a 20 year vet by the time he reaches his wrestler's 'peak' around his mid 30's..

Jericho has the Boston Crab already. A "model" gimmick without the Boston Crab just doesn't feel right. If they can get Jericho a new finisher then I can totally see this.

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 They may as well have an extended Dupree-Cena feud with a title change because, really, what else is there for Cena to do? Apart from go to Raw I guess, which probably wont be long in coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Charlie Haas Vs John Cena. It's easy...Haas is Angle's Protege and we all know Angle hates Cena...Writes itself. Or Heyman comes in with the NEW DANGEROUS ALLIANCE and we know Heyman hates Cena as well... Either way...Cena/Haas works for me... Or they can scrap the Booker/Taker shit and have Cena/Booker with Cena calling Book a little bitch about his complaining to be on Smackdown... No need to saddle The very over cena with a guy who relies on a DANCE and a POODLE to get heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't have to. *Cough*Carried*Cough* No, Hogan revolutionised the industry because of what he did, and whatever that was, he was the master of his domain.
