Anyone else surprised he didnt amount to more in the WWE? Great look, solid worker, and played the foreign-heel role pretty well. He seemed to have all the tools Vince looks for in a star (outside of the accent lol). Guy is still the youngest performer to ever win a title in the WWE at 19, and when he moved to Smackdown in 2004, I thought he’d grow to be the foil to Cena for years.
I know he had issues with Bob Holly and got busted for drugs at one point, but Vince has always picked and choosed when to enforce punishments so it was weird to me Dupree seemed to just drop to nothingness before being released.
Anyone else a fan of the guys WWE run?

wasn't a fan per say but didn't dislike the guy
His name was mentioned alot back then, just never broke through
I think him getting thrown around fro raw to Smackdown to Raw hurt him with all gimmick changes

He had a jiggly butt. It's all I really take from him. He and Masters could have been a tag team as "The Jiggly Butts!"
I preferred Rob Conway and Sylvan Grenier as La Resistance though more so than Conway and Dupree and Dupree and Grenier.
I just never saw anything special in Dupree. I know he comes from a wrestling family, but he was also like 20 years old then too. I think he only was in the WWE for like 5 years if that?? I wanna say he ended his WWE career working for the ECW brand, and were putting Grenier and Dupree back together as La Resistance there but then either he got let go, or they both did.

Yeah he redebuted on ECW I think around 2006/7 but got released shortly after that. I think what really killed his push was throwing him with Kenzie Suzuki. That guy was crap and dragged Rene down too in the second half of 2004 |

When he got drafted to Smackdown I started to invest a bit more in him, especially in the lead up to Judgement Day, but after that he just got lost. When they put him with Kenzo Suzuki I checked out, it was a horrible team with nothing going for it. After that, I wasn't bothered but I think looking back had they put a bit more effort into him he could actually have done something. Unfortunately after the Cena feud everything went downhill quick.

He looked like the kind of guy WWE would push back then, but I never really cared for him at all. A good amount of those midcard guys from that 03-07 era never came close to reaching true main event status.
