I think the fact that he wrestles with a raging boner half the time makes a lot of folks uncomfortable.

I'm astonished Vince hasn't worked this into a gimmick for him. Dupree was also extremely affected by the Wellness Policy, which always causes some snickering at his smaller new "look." |

To be fair to Dupree he slimed down alot a good while before the wellness policy came in.

Renee has to get "some" before each match to get his attention refocused. Think of the high jinks of Renee interacting with Kelly Kelly and Ariel. |

I think Dupree is good enough to be a transitional champion someday. I am intimidated by his raging erections though.

Dupree, well. Sort of generic I guess. Came in with guys like Conway and Sylvan. Who all had the same size. He got the typical anti-american gimmick. He always had an odd look. And then there is that boner.
I guess he never really did anything to make the fans like him as a wrestler.

Yeah, I've always wanted to see a segment like this...your typical backstage deal where random wrestlers are standing around the hallway just to add a bit of color....a random wrestler is walking determined through the backstage area (Keep in mind, the camera can only show the wrestlers from the waist up for this segment to work) until he passes by an oblivious Rene Dupree..... and trips. |

"Mr. Dupree, you have a massive erection."
"Really? Oh. It's just the trunks, I'm actually returning them right now to the trunks store. Don't act like you're not impressed."

Dupree: "I am the most extreme wrestler to step into an ECW ring."
CM Punk: "Youve got an erection."
*SLAP!*
OR.....
Dupree, as a Punk SLAP ripoff, randomly walks around backstage giving mushroom stamps to all the divas er vixens er skanks er... what ever.

I don't think you would trip, unless it was the Big Show or something, they would probably fall backward. And why he doesn't have an ambiguously gay gimmick, even though he could easily make it work, I'll never know... "I'M NOT GAY! I think about my wife to... get ready and stuff... my very very sexy FEMALE wife!" |

Oh my!
I just looked up what Mushroom Stamp means. I guess WWE could strike gold by giving Dennis Stamp that gimmick.

I think it's because he's very generic in terms of his look, just another pretty boy like Randy orton or Rob Conway or Sylvan or... well, we can count the generic pretty boy heels in WWE until the cows come home.
but isn't Rene Dupree really injury-prone too? like very time they repackage him and bring him back in a new form he always manages to get injured and sit out for 6 months again.

I remember when Dupree was doing his French Tickler people were raving about him. I think he's a decent worker and this move to ECW might be just what he needs to land on his feet and fit into a role he's comfortable with.
