You might remember Renee Dupree from his time in the WWE from 2003 to 2007. He has won both the WWE Tag Team Championship (with Kenzo Suzuki) and the World Tag Team Championship (as La Resistance). During his time in the WWE he had some matches against CM Punk.

In a recent interview with The Hannibal Show, Dupree says the WWE would plant CM Punk fans in the crowd in order to manipulate Punk’s popularity.

Here is what he said:

“Yeah. They would do chants, and then it’s like a ripple effect. They hear chants, chants, chants and then try to get the people up. CM Punk or ECW shirts, I’d see like three or four guys scattered around the arena. And I was like ‘wow’, but I guess if you really want to get somebody over” (Source: The Hannibal Show)

Let us know what you think of his claims. Seems a little odd that the WWE would be planting CM Punk fans.

Speaking of Punk, he is a part of one of the WWE’s five matches that has received a 5 star rating in history. You can check out the full list here.
