At the height of recent tension between the U.S. and France, the pompous Frenchman Rene Dupree debuted using the conflict as a platform to promote French culture and his claim of French superiority over that of any other nation or culture in the world! Handsome and quite talented, the European socialite isn’t very charming with his crass arrogance and condescending tone towards WWE Divas, WWE Superstars and fans. Of course, it doesn’t help that this trend-setter dressed in the latest chic fashions makes your skin crawl with his smug attitude and presence.

Rubbing WWE Superstars and fans wrong dating back to his RAW debut a part of the 3-man La Resistance faction with Sylvain Grenier & Rob Conway, there is no denying that Dupree has the tools to be just as great as he boasts he is. In fact, in his first year as a RAW Superstar, Dupree won the World Tag Team Championship with Grenier, taking on challenges and defeating the likes of the Dudleys, the APA, Scott Steiner and many others.

In 2004, Dupree was traded to SmackDown as part of the Draft Lottery. Instantly, Dupree continued to turn heads and make a name for himself with his new Café De Rene segments with co-host Fifi the French poodle. Butchering the English language and flirting with the Divas of SmackDown, only to insult them as not being up to snuff, the European playboy made a lot of enemies fast.

Dupree would find success once again in tag team competition with his bizarre Japanese partner lost in translation, Kenzo Suzuki. Winning the WWE Tag Team Championship, the duo successfully took on the challenges of Rob Van Dam & Booker T and countless others before losing the championship to Rey Mysterio & Rob Van Dam in December 2004.
These days, Rene Dupree is once again focused on his career in singles competition after being traded in conjunction with the 2005 Draft Lottery to RAW.
