Hmm, I disagree. I mean, you're right, it's certainly a possibility, especially if they made a big deal about him. But look at Tank Toland. When he started there was a bit of heat, sure, but he's a member of Sweet N' Sour International now, and he's quite entertaining in his role.

I don't think it would be a brilliant idea if he showed up and was used as an attraction (like Jeff Hardy was), but I think if the guy signed up for ROH's school, took some classes under Bryan Danielson, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong, he could debut as a solid act with a chance of getting over. I mean, the guy is not horrible in the ring.

The other option is for Rene Dupree to go work in other independent promotions, hoping to get chances with IWA-MS, FIP and even PWG, until he impresses enough to be considered one of the "wet dreams" of the indie circuit. I guess there is Japan, as well.

Rene Dupree is still really young, so I don't think it's fair to right him off as a failure, yet. And if he showed up in ROH, you are definitely right, he will get booed. I think there is hope for him to find a niche like Tank Toland did, though.
