First Antiwar Christopher Nowinski, now this. Does Vince have his finger on America's pulse or what?
Anyway, Sylvain Grenier is of course Vince's evil referee (from the Hogan match at No Way Out, et al). Rene Dupree ... the name sounds vaguely familiar. Another OVW callup?
(Edited to add:) Yup, Dupree is ex-OVW. Can't say I've seen him work, though.
First thing that went through my mind? "Quebecers 2003."
(edited by Shem the Penman on 7.4.03 2303) "next to of course god america i love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh say can you see by the dawn's early my country tis of centuries come and go and are no more what of it we should worry in every language even deafanddumb thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry by jingo by gee by gosh by gum why talk of beauty what could be more beaut- iful than these heroic happy dead who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter they did not stop to think they died instead then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"
Grenier was the "evil ref" who screwed Hogan in Rock/Hogan II.
Dupree is, umm, another French-Canadian.
I think Pat Patterson thinks highly of both guys (no, not in *that* way, sickos)
Matthew: You would've loved it, David. A week in a foreign country, strange people, strange customs... Dave: Oh, I know what you mean. I've been to Canada.
Regardless of your politics, this is a brilliant gimmick. Everybody either hates the French, or loves to hate the French. (Or, in some cases, are French.)
Mark my words: Les Nouvelles Mondiale are going to be over like madcakes.
LES NOUVELLES MONDIALES ARE THE GREATEST TAG TEAM OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
I feel like WWE made this team just for Llakor and I. If you'll check out my last column in the "Contributions" thread entitled "Accomplishing The Dream in 24 Hours" (pardon the shill), you'll read a little bit about both Sylvian Grenier AND, coincidentally, Rene Dupree. And NOW, they're a frickin' TAG TEAM. After what Llakor and I saw in Monteral, this is nothing short of ORGASMIC, even though he and I are probably the only two to think so.
WHERE IS LLAKOR? LLAKOR, I NEED YOU! TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT RENE DUPREE LIKE YOU TOLD ME!! TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT "SLY"!!! Llakor's probably drunk off his ass because he's SO HAPPY about this tag team. I know I am. If these two come down to the French national anthem a la Dino Bravo, I will faint with pleasure!!!
LLAKOR!!!! LES NOUVELLES MONDIALES!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!

It's official - The WWE logo turned upside down becomes the Mattitude symbol.

Hey, I remember reading that column! Seeing those two together, I thought, "BrewGuy would get a kick out of this!" I was right.
I can't account for Dupree, but having personally reffed a Sly match, I'd say he handles himself pretty well in the ring. Good seller, quick, nice crisp moves.
This is sooo cool. WWF hasn't had a xenophobic type character since Yoko. Okay, we had many Canadian American bashers, but Canada don't count. This, will draw truuuue heat!!!

Considering Furnas isn't Canadian, you are.
As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?
