Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling: Rene Dupree Q&A Episode
Preview:
Patching things up with former tag team partner Sylvan Grenier and
Sylvan's reaction to his phone call: :
It's cool. After my last podcast when I listened to it back I said it's
time f*cking grow up. There are fans out there that want to see me and Sly at
these conventions so I actually called him as a man and I apologized for the
things that happened in the past and me and him are back together. We've got a
few bookings at signings and conventions and will get out there
again.
I think he called Rob Conway right away because he couldn't believe it
because they were trying for years and I was just a stubborn asshole and the
first step is admitting you have a problem and when you are wrong you promptly
admit it and you know what, it's time to grow up. You can't change the past but
you can just make the future better and that is what I am going to do. You only
have one life to live and you have to enjoy it.
What are your personal feelings on Triple H?:
(Laughs) Well I could torch the bridge on this one couldn't I? I'll tell
you a story. I was walking backstage one day and there were two sisters that
were seamstresses that have been there forever and their names are Julie and
Terry. So Terry said hey we need to take your measurement and I asked if they
were making me an outfit and she said that the office needs them to take
everyone's measurements.
So her eyes get as big as saucers and she says Oh My God Rene, you are
bigger than Hunter and we can't have this. So she literally wrote two or three
inches less so that Hunter would be bigger than me. That's the f*cking mentality
that you have to deal with. You think I am bulls*ting you? I am not. I talked to
my mentor, Rip Rogers who told me that it's always been that way and I say well
that's just f*cking stupid. A lot of people don't like him (Triple H) but he's
living his dream. He is getting to hang out with rock stars and work out every
night with dudes and who the hell wouldn't want to hit Stephanie McMahon. He's
got three beautiful daughters that are healthy and the guy makes millions of
dollars a year. Most guys that hate on him are just in envy. Envy is a sin and I
try to avoid being a sinner.
Do you have the WWE Network and is the WWE Network royalty argument a
valid one:
No I don't and I wish they would pay me for the WWE Network because I
think everyone who is on it should get some type of royalty off of that. Because
I guess you are still part of the company in some way if they are showing your
stuff, but at the same time they say that nobody watches the "old stuff". Well
take off all the old stuff off and watch your f*cking subscriber count drop
within six months.
You know there is a lawsuit coming from that as well? They are being
sued by everybody. They are being sued with the concussion lawsuit, the guys
with the royalties and also the investors. Remember when they lost like 400
million dollars in one day? They pissed off a bunch of people and a bunch of
investors are suing them too.
Has he been contacted about any of these active lawsuits:
I cannot confirm or deny, I plead the fifth (laughing).
Does he think the WWE in anyway forced Daniel Bryan to
retire?:
You never know. I think the fact they are being sued has a big part to
do with it and I'd like to get that test too. I worked there for years and I
took chair shots to the head and was knocked out and that they were very well
aware of. Why can't I get that test? I actually emailed them about it. I never
heard back because yes I have free healthcare up here in Canada but we don't
have the advanced technology that Americans do. You pay out the ass for good
healthcare but you get quality. I have a neurological exam coming up but we
don't have the machines that you do. A lot of guys would probably want to have
the same thing. Could you please give me these tests and see if there is
anything wrong up there? I'm showing all the symptoms and have been for years
but..whatever. In due time.
Does he follow the current product and who does he see as the future
face of the company:
It doesn't matter. WWE, the brand is the future face of the company.
They are going to draw one of the biggest audiences in the history of
WrestleMania and is Cena on the card? No and they don't need him. Look at who
Undertaker is wrestling. The f*cking kid. It doesn't matter. WrestleMania is the
draw, WWE is the draw. You can break it down and say well the Cena tours draw
this much but brother after two or three years they have seen your act and you
are on so much television now they've seen your act and it's old news quick. If
nobody ever saw a "U Can't See Me" ever again I don't think they will care
because they are ready for something new.
Rene Dupree also discusses further heat with Bubba Dudley, Injuring
Spike Accidentally, JBL, Bob Holly, How Bret Hart Helped Save His Life, His
Father's Legacy in Wrestling and much more.
