It's not a double standard... Ric Flair can quell all of his babyface reactions with equally good, if not better, heel reastions. Dupree isn't old enough or good enough to quell babyface reactions with equal heel reatctions, he's just not good enough of a ring worker yet. Another diffrence is that when Flair wrestles and talks on the mic he does both really well. Dupree is thought of by management as putting on poor, lazy matches.
Also you have to realize that Rene Dupree has been looked at as pompus jerk in the eyes of most people in the WWE. He thinks he deserves a lot more from the buisness then he has yet to earn, where as Flair has earned the right to be vocal backstage because he's a legend in the buisness. They want Rene to learn early that when they tell him to do something he damn well better do it. But Dupree insists on doing his stupid dance, thus being totally unprofessional in the ring. The Flair has done a lot of unprofessional things on planes and backstage before, he is always 100% professional when he's in the ring. Flair earned the ring to do with his character what he wants, Rene hasn't.
Perhaps it is a double standard, but it is a legit double standard.
Your talking about a green rookie and one of the three greatest wrestlers of all time, as if the should be equal? They're not. When Rene is in the buisness for over 20 years and has won the World Championship 16 times, and carried a whole wrestling promotion on his back, then he and Flair should be looked at as equals... Until then Flair can chop, strut, and wooo all he wants, because his name draws... As for Dupree, his name is worthless in the wrestling buisness right now, so he should learn to do as he's told, because the last thing we need is another out of control ego in the wrestling buisness.
In closing....
Flair has earned his right to do as he pleases in the ring... Dupree has not.
