Reviews
"Best line-up we've ever had in Hull ...... it's a shame All Star don't run here more that twice a year. It started out with the City Hall being half full three years ago to practically being sold out today. All Star must have made a tidy packet tonight - they were selling merchandise like nobody's business.Plus, All Star has crowd heat most other companies would kill for.Wrestlers can do the most basic of highspots or simplest of gestures to the crowd and the place explodes.
Well worth a tenner." (source:UKFF)
"Rene Dupree's tag team with PCO is one of the things I'm most looking forward to checking out right now. Like I already said, I've always felt that Dupree could end up being pretty good at the whole arrogant foreign heel routine and him breaking away from WWE made me really happy since WWE weren't willing to give Rene the ball. I recently watched some of his Hustle work and I thought he did great there. Now by all accounts he's doing pretty well for himself in England too. Hopefully he soon gets some regular work in places like Puerto Rico, Mexico and Japan because I'd really love to see that happen. I'm especially keeping my fingers crossed for Dupree in New Japan since NJPW is my favourite Japanese promotion and I think Dupree's gimmick would fit well there." (PWF.net)
"Dupree. He HAS to work Puerto Rico sometime.." (Pro Wrestling Forum)
