Marc Dionne[5] (born January 1989) is a Canadian professional wrestler, better known by his ringnames Stupefied and Player Dos. He currently competes most notably for the American-based promotion Chikara. He bases his gimmick, moveset, and attire around video games, more specifically games for the NES and SNES consoles. He regularly forms a team with Player Uno called the Super Smash Bros.

One of his trademarks is his former pants, which had a pocket fashioned around a NES console on one side of them; if, for instance, the Karate Kid game cartridge was inserted, he would start acting like a karate fighter. In early 2009 he debuted his most recent attire, which does not include this function.

Professional wrestling career

International Wrestling Syndicate

Stupefied made his debut in the Canadian wrestling promotion International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS). He quickly found a tag team partner in Player Uno as the Super Smash Bros. The team found success as they soon won the IWS Tag Team Championship. He remained with the promotion until it folded on October 9, 2010.[6]

Chikara

Stupefied debuted in Chikara in 2007 as one half of the Super Smash Bros., for the November triple-shot weekend. Stupefied was brought back for King of Trios, and became a regular wrestler at the fed. The tag team became a fan favorite, however, they had trouble picking up wins.[4] In August 2008 after Stupefied had repackaged himself as Player Dos, the Super Smash Bros. began a winning streak which would peak on September 21, 2008, during Chikara’s debut in the Midwest, when the Super Smash Bros. ended the record-breaking reign of Incoherence (Delirious and Hallowicked), becoming the 4th Chikara Campeones de Parejas.[4] However, their reign came to an abrupt end on October 19, 2008, at the hands of the Osirian Portal (Amasis and Ophidian) in only their first defense.[4]

On August 16, 2009, Player Dos won the seventh annual Young Lions Cup, defeating Colin Delaney in the finals.[4] He would lose the title to Tim Donst on January 31, 2010.[7]

On October 24, 2010, Player Dos teamed with Player Uno and wrestled to date his last Chikara match with BDK members Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze in a losing effort.

Ring of Honor

On April 18, 2009, Dionne made his Ring of Honor debut as a replacemant for the injured El Generico, under the ring name Generico Dos, in a six man tag team match where he, Kevin Steen and Kenny Omega were defeated by Austin Aries, Rhett Titus and Kenny King.[1] The Super Smash Brothers made their ROH debut as a team on May 8, 2009, at Never Say Die, losing to the team of Titus and King.[8] On July 25 in Toronto, Ontario, at Death Before Dishonor VII Night 2 they scored an upset victory over former ROH World Tag Team Champions Kevin Steen and El Generico.[9] On the November 9 episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet, Dos and Uno debuted on the show in a return match, where they were defeated by Steen and Generico.[10] On ROH Epic Encounter III Dos wrestled Kevin Steen in a losing effort. He had teamed with Uno on several HDNet episode wrestling teams like The American Wolves and Kings of Wrestling. Since the Summer of 2010, Dos has not appeared in the company since.
