Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart on Dynamite Kid vs Jacques Rougeau Backstage Fight in WWF 

😂

Dude. Who knew how insightful he was. I mean this interview shows the man's super high intellectual side. 😂

*blinks hard*

i think he was suffering from alzheimers so probably didnt remember much

@ 4:38 an ⏭️ lookin at anvils nostrils constantly flaring up, _sniffing, snorting_ No, that nose isn't done just yet it's begging to be fed more of that Christmas snow ho-ho.

lmfao! this is gold

🎶 i'm the mountie 🎶

So did the Canadian mob.

He s how he didn't fight dynamite kid head up or he didn't drop dynamite kid

DK sucker punched Jacques in the back of the head first.

His beard speaks volumes. I thought he would never shut up. 😂

Jim is tripping balls

😂

Well said! The Hitman can barely get a word in! 💔

I guess that beard interrupting Bret was more than enough to ruin the story.

He's dead now so Noone can tell him that.

😂 would’ve been incomplete without it

Thought he was great as the Mountie. Great as a villain when he was still teamed with his brother.

This is part of a long version, which is really good.

Anvil just drove Bret to the interview.

It’s good because it’s one of the few shoot interviews of Bret’s that focuses on The Hart Foundation days before his singles run

People involved have different perspectives and information that others were not privy to. Jacques was unlikely to know that Vince was withholding payments to Dynamite unless he shook hands with them. It's not mentioned in his version and may not have been made aware of it. Is this something that Dynamite told him ? Was it corroborated by Vince ? Jacques' version also has details that Brett's version doesn't have because it's from his perspective as he lived it.

Well he got the town wrong, it was Fort Wayne Indiana not Toledo

Hes gone

Dynamite was pure garbage 🗑. Abused a young fan with downs syndrome, Abused dogs, snapped a girls leg for insurance fraud, etc etc.. Dynamite had a perfect demise, he was a dirty LITTLE SHORT doggie

Jacques Rougeau was and still is an INCREDIBLY S1appable human being. To be fair, this was a lot to do with why he was such a good heel.

This is the only version I heard without Raymond's leg being in a cast and actively wrestling.

He was a hot head, but according to Jake Roberts and other sources, Davey Boy was the devil on Dynamite’s shoulder, feeding him gossip and what he should do about it. Not excusing his actions, but maybe if he had better friends, eh?

@@billspurr2090😂 you are so far off the mark there. It was the other way around

Jacques himself said it, which is enough for me to believe it. Any other dude would jump at the chance to put over their own punching power.

Yes, Jacque knew that he needed to rock Dynamite and the roll of quarters was necessary to put the bully in his place. Dynamite was a tough SOB and probably would have kicked Jacque's ass if not for the fact that it was a sucker punch with a roll of quarters in his fist.

​@TheRmm1976 its not like dynamite was an honorable guy during the initial beat down either, attacking him from behind. A sneak attack got it back in kind. But yeah dynamite was for sure tough not going down to a sucker punch with a roll of quarters in his hand. That kind of hit most people would go down.

@@TheRmm1976 it's Jacques' dad that told him to go to the bank and get a roll of quarters. Before becoming a wrestler, his dad was a former bouncer in Montreal when the club scene was a dangerous place in the 50s and he was involved in a lot of brawls and had used it before.

@@TheRmm1976 Easy to be tough when you are on cocaïne and steroïds and all those stuff...

Bret's not absolutely perfect.

Heard Dynamite had a falling out with Davey. Dynamite wanted them to wrestle in Japan. Davey may or may not have lead him on. Davey decided to stay in the WWE. Davey is a businessman first and he kept the British Bulldog name when he was a singles wrestler.

Partners in the ring means little outside the ring. Even Bret and the anvil had their differences never culminating into much but eventually leading to their separation.

There was also stories of Dynamite being extremely mean with Bulldog when Bulldog was younger. You never know

I have never seen anyone say anything bad about Davey Boy. Unlike Dynamite Davey was loved by his peers. How long can you be loyal to someone like Dynamite?

@@moondogrex4627 That's not the point. Dynamite Kid was barely getting by, making £150 per match, with a wife and two kids to support, and greedy-ass Davey Boy Smith turned the U.K. trademark authorities against Dynamite.

Needed an Undertaker

Bockwinkel said it was like a bunch of children there. He couldn't believe the antics on the late 1988 European tour he was in charge of right after this had happened-which ended up with a lot of them leaving/fired before Survivor Series, the worst being Muraco ending up falling asleep at a restaurant table with his face in his food because he was so pilled up.

@@daveborder7751 in the late 1980's the WWF had hired Edouard Carpentier who had trained André the Giant as interviewer and French speaking commentator for the french speaking market. Carpentier was a former member of the French Resistance during the German occupation and was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Croix du combattant. Carpentier was a former NWA champ and one of the first high flyers. Raymond has also worked as an interviewer and match commentator in these markets. The Rougeaus would definitely would have been cheered in these markets over the Bulldogs. Vince is unlikely to have been happy to have someone in the locker room interfere with key talent for the WWF expansion plans. English speaking talent, they already had plenty of.

I wonder if he would have kept throwing out the challenge if Raymond wasn't injured. Like others I think Dynamite was a bully who got what he deserved.

@@tritchie6272 Dynamite sucker punched Bruce Hart as well. A fan had made fun of the fact that he went from riding limos for WWF events to riding a bus in small promotions and he took out his frustrations on Bruce Hart, sucker punching him. He also put a gun to his wife's head; real classy guy.

But fight head up like a man

@@kingsports1113 Don't act like there's such a thing as a fair fight with someone who bullies you. They pick vulnerable targets. "Head up like a "man"" just gets the victim re-victimized. An equalizer is a necessity to end the situation. Jaques kept it simple. He didn't bring a gun or knife. He brought a roll of quarters. His goal was clearly to send the message to Kid that he had to stop and it worked.

Raymond Rougeau was one tough sumbitch.

Are you sure about that Froggie..he was a coward like his brother if he thought he was that good he would of fought the kid regardless of his hurt knee you frogs are all the same..100% full of it

But as he is now a good mayor of a city he is now very peaceful :)

Some intricacies aren't accurate How do you know, were you there?

​@@robinhosleftfootlol exactly. People constructing reality in their own imagination based on bits and pieces of what they hear.

Yes!

Bret openly admits in his book - which came out probably 15 years ago at this point - that Dynamite was a big bully who absolutely got what he had coming to him. Of course, he praises his in-ring abilities throughout their careers, but Bret is pretty transparent when it comes to painting him as a mostly miserable person outside of the ring which by almost all accounts is the truth.

Glad he didn't mention that I cut up the Rougeaus' clothes while they were in the ring and basically blamed it on the Bulldogs.

I dunno, if someone was kicking my brother’s ass (especially while daring me to jump in), injured or not, I’m jumping in. Yeah, way to pep him up to sucker punch someone because he can’t kick his ass in a 1 on 1 fight. The fact that Jacques didn’t even drop him with the first sucker punch says that either he’s a sissy, Dynamite’s tough, or both.

You don't step up or save face by sucker punching someone..wake up fool

​@@danzig73079Jacques said Dynamite went down to one knee so technically in boxing that would be counted as a knockdown.

@@kevthegoat8774, yeah, but it took more than one (sucker) punch (with a loaded fist) to drop Billington. I don’t know if that shows how tough Billington was, how much of a sissy Rougeau was, or a combination of both. Hell, Rougeau even had his brother and Bad News Brown there to back him up in case Billington was still gonna be able to go after him.

Raymond can say what he wants but he was offered a go when he was healed and didn't want to know. Both Rougous were wary of dynamite, dont let them tell you otherwise

A contribution to help repair the teeth he lost.

He was the perfect antagonist

There was already friction between the two but I poured a little gas on the fire.

Was it the perfect black flag operation?

@@Desertascetic he'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids and that talking dog.

Yes. Jacques himself said it.

The frog was a coward and he new the kid would work him over so he sucker punched him.

@@ThePauliebuck A lot of people backstage hated Smith because he was a class one a-hole. 100% deserved. I would have done the same but with a dumbbell.

It clearly says 2006.....

He also said after the smack he got up started arguing with him and swung at him and got taken down.

@@seanharris3569 Bret said Jacques was almost knocked out from the sucker punch.

What did he leave out?

the only detail he missed was the quarters thing, and even then that seems to be uncomfirmed

Jacques said it himself, he used roll of quarters.@@aidyn7758

​@@aidyn7758Jaquew has confirmed that part. He shares the story in a book about the Montreal territory.

​@@gabehills2489his brother Ray has confirmed it too

Innocent until proven guilty Brook!

@@curthennig9448 He is guilty.

@@Brook11223 Well Vince did fire him after returning home from the PPV in May 2002. How did Flair not get fired?

@@curthennig9448 He was a made man or something that Jim Ross said. He kind of got a free pass which is Bullshit. Since he is a seasoned veteran that's why he got a free pass. Just disgusting in my opinion.

Many people don't including me. Didn't realize it meant something positive.

Yeah, Bret thinks it means getting their comeuppance - not their just reward.

It means you will get what you order, or there's always a tougher man somewhere, no matter how tough someone thinks they are, there's always a tamer for even the toughest

How stupid can man be, if he must s*** to someones bag and believing that it is funny thing.....Dynamite Kid was really tough,damn great wrestler, but biggest asshole as a man

Truth. Catch the wrong one on the wrong day......

He tried to at certain times, if u watch the whole thing. Anvil was def having some issues ag this time. Bret helped Anvil through just like Anvil did for him in the early years.

Shut up he a snuck with quarters n hand he gets no respect

Forget respect, it's called payback.

@@kingsports1113 Like Dynamite snuck up first with the slap from behind? He was a bitter little midget. Most short guys are.

I highly doubt that henning was eliminating competition, especially given the fact that he was a single competitor and bulldogs rougeaus were tag teams. Also , perfect was a well known prankster, just stirring the pot a little too much

@@mikemacdonald2032 Shawn Michaels started out as a tag team member of the Rockers. He also liked to stir the pot trying to provoke Brett into fighting him to claim afterwards that Brett was unprofessional and that it was an unsafe environment. These guys all wanted the top spot. Hulk Hogan put Jacques Rougeau over in a dark match afterwards in Montreal. Was it appreciation for standing up against bullying or appreciation removing a potential rival for Hulkmania down the line ? Did Vince had an idea like the Crippler gimmick in mind for Dynamite Kid ?

Dynamite's body was rapidly failing. He wasn't long for wrestling after this.

Curt Hennig was the main culprit and I am not saying Dynamite Kid is a saint as he was a ribber like Hennig, but the problem is Curt's ribs were always High jinx and he can think it's a joke, but he doesn't understand that it's not funny for other wrestlers. He like Dynamite took it to the extreme and a good example of that is with "Plane ride from Hell" in 2002 when he started to create dangerous ribs almost leading to crashing the plane with splashing shaving cream on Brock Lesnar's head and then Lesnar full sprint chasing Curt along the pathway in the plane leading to him tackling Curt as they were hitting left and right side rows, almost leading to hitting the emergency door exit which didn't happen thank god, once the plane landed he immediately got fired from WWE as well as Scott Hall for almost trying to assault the air hostess who was working in the plane. Curt put some sort of H Bomb medication into Scott Hall's drink where he literally passed out, some wrestlers thought he was dead. Dynamite Kid did rib a lot of wrestlers, but at the same time also the policeman in the locker room who kept everyone in line and the rib with Jacques it was Curt Hennig not Dynamite Kid and Bad News Allen also confirmed that as well in his interview. Curt orchestrated it taking advantage of the situation. Also Dynamite Kid doing drugs not good, but what can you do with drugs in the 80s were rampant and wrestlers weren't kept in check and they should've been kept in check. I just feel everyone is at fault and had the agents and Vince McMahon done something prior it could've been prevented.

😅​@@mikemacdonald2032

Bret wouldn't necessary know that part. In Jacques' story, Vince escorted them through the locker room after the fight so the brothers could get their bags and leave the building. So Bret's version is at least partially true.

What happened with Raymond and Orton/Arcidi?

@@kevthegoat8774 Orton was not selling anything so Ray socked him on the jaw, he was selling after that. Arcidi, was being an ass in the locker room, Ray challenged him and he back off. LeBoeuf is a well known story of Ray avenging his younger brother Armand. Just saying. 🤷

LOL 💯🤟

😂

classic cowardly bully. Karma got him in the end.

let's not go crazy lol Dynamite was tough

Maybe not. Dynamite Kid was trained at the legendary Snake Pit in England. All those guys were high level catch wrestlers. Dynamite Kid was a bully, but he was tough. The mountie said in several interviews that he used a roll of quarters when be sucker punched Dynamite as hard as he could and he never went down. He also followed up with a couple of more shots and he still didn't go down. Most people would have been out for a week after that first punch.

@@mr.joedirt8583 Duly noted,but Raymond was the real deal. Dynamite was never the same after that. Raymond beat up Zarrioff LaBoeuff in Montreal in a real shoot match for taking liberties with Raymond's brother Armand and marked up Armand pretty good. LeBoeuff never wrestled in Quebec again.He was supposedly a very tough, bully type of guy but Ray beat him up badly.

Zarrinoff, that is.

Even Fuji ribs.

And letting it get to that point when he easily could have diffused it.

He also got Scott Hall hooked on booze and pills. Hall blames his own addictive personality in the end, but he said it was Hennig who finally convinced him to start mixing the two. I find people always put Hennig on a pedestal because he was a great worker, but he seemed like one of those jocks who thought he was funnier and more clever than what he was. Also a 44 year old man dying from a coke OD in a hotel room while your wife and kids think you're an upstanding family man is a great way to go out.

​@@thebigmarbowski84I agree with everything you said...but even though Curt showed Scott what to mix or whatever, it's all on Scott. As someone who's been sober for close a decade now, while there may have been others to show or suggest to do something, it still comes down to us making the decision. We always hold ourselves accountable for whatever drink and/or drug we take.

I agree. Scott never blamed Hennig. He blamed his own addictive personality.

​@@karlepaul6632 agreed, end of the day everyone is accountable for their own actions

I agree. Ray's account is most likely the one which is most plausible. Brett's version has its own biased interpretations.

@@ejcash7234 Isn't Ray's account the same as what Bret just said? Dynamite bullied Jacque to the point where the sucker punch needed to happen.

This is from 2006.
