Rene Dupree had a strange old career in WWE. He came in as a 19-year-old kid, arguably before he was really ready, and made one of the featured acts on Raw. WWE clearly had big plans for Rene, who comes from a wrestling family, and took him out of the La Resistance trio with a view to making him a singles star. He was drafted over to Smackdown and instantly feuded with an up-and-coming star called John Cena over the United States Championship. He never won the belt, instead being moved back into the tag team scene, this time with the clueless Kenzo Suzuki as his partner. They had a quick run with the belts, Kenzo was released and Dupree sort of just...floundered. Back on Raw, Dupree enjoyed a brief winning streak before suffering an almost career-ending hernia. He was off TV for almost a year and when he came back he was dumped on the ECW brand. His career never really recovered and he requested his release in July 2007. Since that time Dupree has been mainly wrestling in Japan. He has also openly discussed his struggles with addiction and been given one or two controversial interviews, too. This week, Dupree made headlines again when he appeared on the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling Podcast and made his feelings known about everything from concussion problems, WWE veterans and his former partners. Here are seven big revelations from that shoot interview/podcast.
