|  #2 Posted on 7.4.03 2152.36 | 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."

"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?"

| #3 Posted on 7.4.03 2152.47 | 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)

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!!!!

Hey, I remember reading that column! Seeing those two together, I thought, "BrewGuy would get a kick out of this!" I was right.

He be good, yo.

BTW, their team name is 'The New World'?

Considering Furnas isn't Canadian, you are.
