Rene Dupree: WWE hired people to cheer for Punk

[mrbananagrabber]

Well we always suspected they do stuff like this, it would certainly explain the plethora of generic "Batista Bomb" and Roman Reigns signs. We can probably expect more of this now Smackdown is live.

It'd be nice if they could get those people to shut the f*** up now though.

[floundertime]

Of course they hire people. Did people forget the grandma "plant" from that exposed wrestling secrets show?

[Bo Rida]

I hope they fired the Conway/Mahal/Del Rio plants.

(Although I suppose the royal rumble still sells expensive tickets so they're not going to waste seats on plants)

[Prince Petty]

Not as bad as when they unscrupulously hire fans after they've managed to get into the ring and challenge wrestlers. The likes of Steve Blackman and Santino Marella. Such a shady business practice....

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

WWE: "We'll give you all 50 bucks to cheer for Rene Dupree"
Fans: "Nah, we're good, thanks"

They paid me in ICOPRO.

Gave me the shits.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Sure there are plants for people, but between this and link where Rene talks about a possible Benoit conspiracy link on the same page, it almost sounds like Dupree is 'Ask me about Chemtrails' guy haha.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Yet another boner pulled by Dupree

[Deleted]

Shit man, I'll cheer for everybody if the tickets are free.

[Sicho100]

[Thaal Sinestro]

So THAT explains the Cena chants

If only all plants were as over-the-top as Brie Bella Bitch guy. The world would be a happier place.

I actually watched it, and he does really reach with the Biff Wellington connection. Also, he starts off the segment saying Benoit was a very dark person when he drank due to the head trauma. So he basically admits Benoit was capable of what he did, yet still made a connection with Wellington afterwards, which made no sense.

As far as crowd plants, we have all heard of the piped in "Goldberg" chants and the "woo girls" at the TNA tapings, but this is the first time I have ever heard the WWE using plants to cheer certain wrestlers.

That guy should just be in a small picture on the bottom of the screen reacting to things every week. I'd watch more often if he was.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I'd cheer for Stephanie McMahon while she was going on one of her ego trips if I could score free tickets and some nice swag.

"Yaas, queen! You tell those cruiserweights who's the boss!"

[Nr1Humanoid]

What was it Al Bundy said? "I'd find you sexy too if I had whisky for breakfast."

I believe this story as much as I ever believed someone other than the original poster would be the one who posted it.

(All I mean by that is that before I clicked, I knew exactly who posted it.)

Please don't imply that he's a plant, you'll ruin my happiness forever. It only works if it's his genuine reaction.

[Push R Truth]

What a week, we heard from Buff and Dupree. Can't wait for Tiger Ali Singh, The Jackal and Lodi to talk next week!
