Former WWE star Sylvain Grenier claimed on Dupree’s Cafe de Rene podcast that his close friendship with Pat Patterson may have contributed to Jim Ross disliking him. They had a lot in common, and Grenier was drawn to the first-ever IC Champion, who was also an agent for WWE at the time.
“[Jim Ross] didn’t like me. I think he liked you [Rene Dupree] better because you had a background. He didn’t like me because I didn’t play football, because I was a model. I was not the typical wrestler background. He didn’t like me, I know that. And I had a connection with Pat.”
