Rene Dupree is a walking textbook of shitty tattoos.
Hulk Hogan wed girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel in Clearwater Beach, Fla., but not without a rumble, People reports.
The wedding was interrupted by a fight that prompted a visit from the police. "Yes, police came to the scene but we have no details to report yet," a Clearwater police spokesman told the magazine. "We have no further comment at this time."
A fight broke out at the wedding, held Tuesday at Hogan's house, when a photographer tried to snap pictures of the couple during the ceremony, according to TMZ.
A family employee asked the photographer to leave, at which point the photographer allegedly pressed his forearm to the employee's throat and a fight started. The person was not specifically identified as a paparazzo.
No arrests were made because no one wanted to press charges, and the ceremony continued, TMZ said.
Hogan, 57, and McDaniel, 35, have been dating since 2008. The longtime professional wrestler and reality star split from his wife of 23 years, Linda, in 2007. They have two children together: Brooke, 22 and Nick, 20.
Hulk Hogan is a physical and emotional wreck, says Erik Hedegaard in Rolling Stone. At 55, he faces constant pain as a legacy of his years performing professional wrestling’s elaborate, bone-rattling choreography. “My tailbone is bent from landing on my ass, 400 times a year,” he says. “My back’s got all kinds of problems. My legs get numb. My hands are numb. My neck, too. I’ve got arthritis and scoliosis. I’m 6–4. I used to be 6–7.” At his peak, Hogan raked in $20 million a year; today, he has trouble paying his bills. To top things off, his wife of 23 years, Linda, has left him to take up with a pool boy. She’s living with him in the $18 million Florida mansion she used to share with Hogan, and has given him the keys to all of Hogan’s cars, motorcycles, and boats. “You live half a mile from the 20,0000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore,” he complains. “You’re driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife, and going to the Four Seasons.” Hogan admits that revenge sometimes enters his mind. “I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J., cutting everybody’s throat. I mean, I totally understand O.J. I get it.”
Dupre is married to a Japanese woman and lives in Japan. A Japanophile, he has 'Japan' tattooed on his shoulder.

ROH World Title Match
Roderick Strong defends vs. Davey Richards
‘The Hunt” vs. “The Truth”…at its bare bones that is what this match is, but with closer inspection, it is about so much more than that. This is about Roderick Strong proving he is the standard-bearer for ROH as we head into 2011, it’s about Davey Richards achieving the destiny that has evaded him thus far, and it’s about two former allies fighting tooth-and-nail over the most important title in professional wrestling. Not too long ago, Richards was contemplating walking away from wrestling after “Final Battle” and pursing other interests. Meanwhile, Roderick was fighting his way towards the ROH World Title, a goal he finally met at “Glory by Honor IX”, the same event where Richards announced his intentions to continue wrestling as well as told the world he would receive a title opportunity at “Final Battle”. Since September, Richards has spent a great deal of time in New Japan Pro Wrestling training for this contest while Strong has being working to establish his position as ROH World Champion. Now these two former allies will clash in NYC, they will show no remorse as they battle for the ROH World Title, they will pull out all stops as each man battles to fulfill their destiny.
Unsanctioned Match- Fight Without Honor
Kevin Steen vs. El Generico
*If Generico loses he will unmask
**If Steen loses he will quit Ring of Honor
At “Final Battle 2009”, the friendship between these two men came to an abrupt and shocking end. Kevin Steen laid waste to El Generico following their battle with The Young Bucks, and has proceeded to do the same at every available opportunity. Whether it be with Steve Corino at his side, while Colt Cabana stood by Generico’s, or standing on his own, Steen has made it his purpose in life to destroy El Generico completely. They have seen bloody street fights and deathmatches, Steen has found himself handcuffed and restrained in a straightjacket, Generico has been spat upon and humiliated, and ultimately, neither man is the same person they were one year ago. Steen has slowly becoming unhinged, attacking shadows and pursuing any fan that would have the audacity to wear a Generico mask. What at first seemed like a violent separation from his partner has turned into a violent separation from reality for Kevin Steen. He’s talking to masks as if they’re people, self-destructing as he attempts to destroy Generico, and hoping it will be better after he rids the world of Generico. For Generico, this journey started as one of growth and finding inner strength, but in recent months, Generico has found a darker edge that goes deeper than a simple mask change. As a matter of fact, Generico is growing to resemble Kevin Steen in personality if not actions. He too has become uncontrollable and unpredictable, but all in the hope that after “Final Battle” the world will right itself and Generico can step back into the light. But really, will all they have gone through and the changes they have undergone, will either man be able “go back to the way it was” after Saturday night?
Six Man Tag Team Grudge Match
Jay, Mark, and Mike “Papa” Briscoe vs. The Kings of Wrestling and Shane Hagadorn
For a year The Briscoes and The Kings of Wrestling have battled over the ROH World Tag Team Titles. At “Final Battle 2009” after The Briscoes reclaimed the ROH World Tag Team Titles, the reunited KoW heralded their return by assaulting the new champions. Since that time the belts have changed hands (“The Big Bang”), the two teams had a bloody battle in Canada (“Death Before Dishonor VIII”), and the extended members of each family have gotten involved. Sara Del Rey suffered the wrath of the Briscoes at “Supercard of Honor V”, Mike Briscoe felt the repercussions on HDNet, and Shane Hagadorn has stuck his nose in whenever necessary. Now, with the Briscoes’ having exhausted their last title shot at the KoW, ROH officials have put The Kings & Hagadorn in a position to answer for all their crimes when they face off with the 6-time Tag Champions and the patriarch of their family. Both teams have found great success in NYC in the past, but it may come down to the 3rd man on each team. Mike Briscoe has never competed in the ring, and it has been over two years since Hagadorn has seen active ROH competition. The KoW and The Briscoes have told ROH officials that they have their respective partners in hardcore training, so which family will prove the stronger?
ROH Legends Collide
ROH World TV Champion “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels vs. “The Notorious 187″ Homicide
Both Daniels and Homicide have established themselves as legends here in Ring of Honor, both have been champions in the past (Homicide with the World Title, Daniels with the Tag), and “The Fallen Angel” captured his first singles title less than a week ago. Now they will meet for the first time in years inside an ROH ring and battle it out. Each man is looking to earn themselves a shot at the ROH World Title and the winner of the Strong/Richards battle. Daniels may have come up short in his first bid but in his heart he feels one more stab is all he needs. Homicide, on the other hand, has gone undefeated since returning to ROH at “Glory By Honor IX” and will stop at nothing to get his hands back on the “Ring of Homicide” World Title. The Angel vs. The Rottweiler right in the heart of Homicide’s hometown; it’s not a question who the ROH faithful will be behind Saturday night. Can Daniels overcome the hometown advantage? Or will Homicide get one step closer to “his” title?
Women of Honor- Tag Team Challenge Match
Daizee Haze and Awesome Kong vs. Sara Del Rey and Serena Deeb
For months both Haze and Del Rey have been clamoring for greater competition in Ring of Honor. They have battled one another a hundred times over and have essentially begged ROH officials to bring in some other challenges. The majority of women officials have found have been sub par in the eyes of Haze & Del Rey so a challenge was issued, Daizee find a partner, Sara find a partner, and battle it out at “Final Battle” to see just who the best woman in wrestling today is. Kong offered her partnership to Haze while Del Rey went out and found the only other woman she thought capable of standing beside her in the ring: Serena Deeb. Which pair will prove to be the dominant females?
Scientific Showdown
Colt Cabana vs. TJ Perkins
After months of blood and brutality, Colt Cabana removed himself from the Steen/Generico/Corino situation after the “I Quit” match at “Richards vs. Daniels”. Then, after being screwed out of wins two nights in a row, Colt pleaded with ROH officials to find him competition that was there for wrestling’s sake. The former Tag Team Champion was tired of the violence & pain and simply wanted to get into the ring and wrestle. Enter: TJ Perkins; a much heralded wrestler from the west coast who made his name with pure scientific wrestling. Perkins has battled in ROH on occasion throughout the years, but this is by far the biggest stage he has competed on. Both men are looking to showcase pure wrestling at its finest and live on iPPV is the perfect place to do it!
Tag Team Challenge Rematch
The All Night Express vs. Kyle O’Reilly and Adam Cole
Originally scheduled to take place in Mississauga, ON, this rematch from “Richards vs. Daniels” was postponed due to last minute line-up changes. In the original contest, Rhett Titus & Kenny King nearly slipped up due to their overconfidence but managed to recover and pickup the victory. And as if they were cocky already, earning a future shot at the ROH World Tag Titles has only served to elevate their egos to a whole new level. O’Reilly and Cole, while the newest faces in ROH’s tag team scene, have certainly made an impact in their bouts against The ANX, Steen & Corino, and The Bravados. As with Perkins, “Final Battle 2010” is the biggest platform they have ever had to showcase their skills but it’s against two of the toughest opponents they could face. The ANX are hungry for the belts, Kyle & Cole are hungry to prove themselves, which teams hunger will win out?
Special Challenge Match
Eddie Edwards vs. Sonjay Dutt
Originally scheduled as Eddie Edwards vs. Kenny Omega, Kenny was forced to pull off the weekend events due to a serious ankle injury that is making it difficult for him to even put any weight on it. ROH officials scrambled to find a replacement for Omega, but a replacement came to them instead, a man who hasn’t been seen in Ring of Honor for many months now: Sonjay Dutt. Dutt, who hasn’t competed in ROH since “Civil Warfare”, told ROH officials that he wanted to prove himself once again, to show the world live on iPPV that this is where he belongs and the best way to do that is compete against one of the best wrestlers in the company. Will Dutt step up to the plate and earn his way back into ROH? Or will the former TV Champion & 2010 Survival of the Fittest winner dominate in NYC?
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE Smackdown announcer Todd Grisham has been removed from the Smackdown announce team and has been replaced by Josh Matthews. Furthermore, it was suggested that Grisham should try and apply for a full-time position with the Fox Soccer Channel, which is what he does part-time. Grisham had not been on Vince McMahon's good side in the last few months, which is why Michael Cole was added to the Smackdown team.
What was it like meeting and doing a RAW Slammy segment with little 9-year-old Cayley? Aka “Miz Girl.” Aka “Scowly.”
The Miz: [laughs] Yes yes. The angry Miz girl! Aw, man that was arguably one of my favorite moments. That little girl literally made my WWE Championship win. When I got backstage, the only thing anyone could talk about was that little girl’s scowling face, being so mad at me. And as soon as I saw it I thought “that’s the exact fan reaction I wanted out of the crowd.” And sometimes you don’t get that. Sometimes fans see the camera and go “Oh, hey. I’m on camera.” She didn’t see it. You could see the passion that she had for Randy Orton and how mad she was that he lost. It made my day. I guess the dad actually called, because the next week, in my address, I talked about the fan reaction being one of shock and anger and I showed her picture again. So her dad called up and said that she was more than willing to come back if we ever needed her. So, of course, being WWE like we are, we totally leapt at he opportunity and took the reins.
And just going out there and getting on one knee…I mean, how do you talk to a little girl and then take something from a kid? You have to be so nice to them so that they trust you, and then you take it from them. And then they get really really mad. It was so great. And backstage, she was the shyest little girl. It was so cute to see her back there and everyone told me that when Randy came up to her she gave him a big hug and she was so shy and nervous that she couldn’t talk. And then to watch her go out there and start thanking her dad and her mom and her family. And then me, being the big bully that I am, taking the Slammy away from her. [laughs]
