Rene Dupree :)

France... :O

Rene's the best thing since french fries, which I've learned recently didn't even come from France.

OT: A french attorny's going to defend Sadam.

Fifi

The accent

The dance

The taunts

The image

They are called French Fries because they are

A... Similar to French Peoples.. :O

B... Um Mcdonalds or wateva are stupid. Freedom fries sounds so much better :/..

Freedom fries just sounds moronic. I feel like nuking the shit ouf George W

Call them Iraq fries then :roll:

Americans are funny, admittedly :rofl:

Just call them Chips for heavens sake!

The dance. It's all about the dance. I think at Royal Rumble 04 they showed my section and I was doing the dance :lol:

I think someone is in need of their reputation to be in enhanced :D

His taunt is like the greatest thing. I was playing football the other day and when scored a touchdown I began to do his taunt. Got a bad reaction due to them not being a Dupree fan.

He obviously knows how to connect with the fans. He also has a heat seeking gimmick, and he's got a really good look. Now thats not enough to make a superstar, but he's on the right path. Also, being on Smackdown should help his cause.

I'm not going to say he'll be a top guy or anything but its clear with him being so young that he's got a shot.

The sad thing is that end zone taunt is far less fruity then most of the stuff they do in the NFL.

true

French people rule :yes:

Really?

But WWE television has been telling me that there arrogant cowards, if I can't believe television what can I believe?

Call 'em Freedom Fries.

That which was associated with "france" is associated with "freedom."

That's some pretty stupid logic there.

Shhhh...

Everything on TV is true. You can calm down now.

french v. To cut (green beans, for example) into thin strips before cooking.

LOL! You're calling French people yellow! :lol: :shifty:


I just call them fries. What's with you people?

*looks around* Um....Rene Dupree is actually Canadian....

Dupree is the man

Now Canadians.. they rule :)


OOOOOoo.. Canada... :y:

Wait, if his name is Renee and its pronounced Ra-nay and his last name is Dupree shouldn't it be Du-pray? Cause the "ee" makes an "ay" sound....

if hes canadian why is he called the french phenom?

...Looks around... Canadian people ARE French...

Because chips are crunchy, you manky git! :D

Lays, Doritos, Fritos, Tostitos, these are all "chips."

Yup. French Fries have nothing to do with France.

You mean that everything on the WWE isn't true?

Undertaker didn't rise from the grave? He's not from Death Valley?

Kane wasn't burned as a child?

Val Venis isn't really a porn star?

Pimpin' IS easy?

Because he's being played up as French to play on American Xenophobia...

Undertaker's deadly new Finisher!? :eek:

Yep it's technically "Ren-ay Dup-ray" But that's the English/French pronunciation. It's really hard to pronounce foreign words correctly (and not sound forced) in an American accent because the phonetics are totally different.

To elaborate on SB's answer...

Actually, his name is René, not Renee; thus, "ee" is not responsible for the "ay" sound, the "é" is (it's an accented vowel sound that we don't often use in English). His last name...well, I'm not sure how it's pronounced, because I don't know the actual spelling. I'd assume that you're right, and it's supposed to be pronounced "Du-pray" (spelled Duprée) giving it that distinctive, French "ay" sound, rather than "ee."

Additionally...whee, phonetics are fun!

You're right. It's René Duprée, both sounding like "ay". Adding an "e" at René, making it Renée, would make it a girl's name.

I'm canadian and I'm not French...

Fifi = RATINGS :y:

Who else agrees?

Lots of 'em ain't.

I have Scottish relatives up in Canadia.

I am Canadian AND french! :eek:

LIAR.

You're right. I am Canadian and french SPEAKING! :eek:

You speak Canadian?

C'est PAS VRAIS!
