Former WWE Star René Dupree Implies Bubba Ray Dudley Gave Him Concussions on Purpose

Former WWE superstar René Dupree wrestled for the company from 2003 to 2007, winning the Tag Team Championship on two occasions as one-half of La Resistance and with Kenzo Suzuki.

During a recent appearance on “The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling” podcast, Dupree, 31, talked about working with Bubba Ray Dudley, who recently made his return to World Wrestling Entertainment as part of The Dudley Boyz.

“Does a bear shit in the woods? Oh my God,” Dupree said when asked whether The Dudleyz ever took liberties with him.

“I’ve had so many concussions from Bubba Ray Dudley, it’s not even funny. You know Chris Nowinski had to retire because of Bubba Ray giving him concussions right? Devon, it’s universal everyone likes Devon because he’s a pro, but Bubba can be difficult to work with.”

In terms of The Dudleyz leaving the company in 2005, Dupree believes it may have had something to do with a certain backstage incident.

“One time in the ring, Sly [Grenier] screwed up a spot and then Bubba punched him in the face and bloodied his nose and Sly asked him why backstage and Bubba went off and punched him in the face again. Sylvan was very good friends with Pat Patterson and they weren’t around shortly thereafter.”
