| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | N.B. teen picked for WWF college 'Wild Man of Acadia' GROOMED FOR STARDOM: At 18, René Dupre of Shediac, N.B., is the youngest person to sign a development deal with the World Wrestling Federation. Meet René Dupre: recent high school graduate, cheerful New Brunswick teenager and newest acquisition of the most popular entertainment show on Earth. Mr. Dupre, 18, is the youngest person ever to sign a development contract with the World Wrestling Federation. He has said farewell to his parents in Shediac, N.B., and travelled to Cincinnati, where he is being groomed for possible stardom in a WWF training school. There are no guarantees Mr. Dupre will ever perform alongside Hulk Hogan, The Rock or fellow Canadian Chris Jericho in the federation's live Wrestlemania shows, or its televised events, but getting accepted into wrestling college with a three-year contract brings him closer than many dream of ever making it into pro-wrestling's major league. "I'm not going to become the Wayne Gretzky of wrestling in one year," says Mr. Dupre. "I don't know what my chances are. I'm just going to give 110% and hopefully it will pay off." Carl DeMarco, president of WWF Entertainment Canada, invited Mr. Dupre to a tryout camp this year after viewing his audition tapes. Soon afterward, he offered the young prospect a berth at the training school in Cincinnati. "Getting one of these contracts for anyone in the States, let alone a Canadian, is a very difficult deal," says Mr. DeMarco. ''I would say no more than 30 of these contracts are signed each year in the world." René's father Emile fought in Canadian and U.S. pro circuits in the 1950s and '60s and is a member of the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame. Mr. Dupre says his WWF persona will be decided by scriptwriters. If left to him he would choose René Dupre, in honour of his family legacy, or perhaps something to signify his roots. "Maybe I could be the Wild Man of Acadia," he laughs. "You never know." 1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year 2. Hate the Braves with a passion 3.
