"I know I can make money with you" - Ex-WWE star says Eddie Guerrero desired to work with him
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Rene Dupree recently recalled Eddie Guerrero's desire to work with him.
Dupree joined the Stamford-based company in 2002. About a year later, he made his main roster debut. Over the next two years, the 39-year-old shared the locker room with several legends, including WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, who sadly passed away in November 2005.
During a recent episode of Cafe de Rene, Dupree revealed that he and Guerrero wanted to work together and even "begged" to do so.
[Which person do you wish Eddie Guerrero got a chance to work with?] Me. We were begging to work with each other too. We really wanted. The greatest compliment I ever got was, 'Amigo, I wanna work with you because I know I can make money with you.' Especially after his [John] Cena run, right? Cena went of with Bradshaw. If I would have went off with Eddie and had a run," he said. [From 52:16 to 52:35]

Did Eddie Guerrero and Rene Dupree ever share the ring in WWE?
Although Eddie Guerrero and Rene Dupree never squared off in a one-on-one match, the two superstars shared the ring on a few occasions in the Stamford-based company.
The first time the two superstars were in a ring together came in October 2004 when they both participated in a Battle Royal on SmackDown. About two months later, Guerrero teamed up with Booker T to defeat Kenzo Suzuki and Dupree in a tag team match on the blue brand. Dupree and Guerrero also briefly shared the ring during the 2005 Royal Rumble match.
WWE Superstar says only Eddie Guerrero and an AEW star were "brave enough" to defend their titles against him. Check out his comments here.
