Former WWE Superstar Rene Dupree has addressed rumors regarding WWE Legend Fit Finlay and his supposed tendency to break thumbs.
Fit Finlay signed with WWE following its buyout of World Championship Wrestling in 2001. He spent four years as a trainer in its developmental system before returning to the ring in 2005. The Irishman would enjoy runs on RAW, SmackDown, and WWE ECW before departing the company in 2011.
Rene Dupree and Finlay briefly shared a locker room during the mid-2000s, and Dupree discussed the Irishman on a recent edition of his podcast. In a clip uploaded to the Cafe de Rene YouTube Channel, the former WWE Tag Team Champion was asked about rumors regarding Finlay breaking fans' thumbs for real.
