The Rougeaus "All American Boys" theme song was great. Jimmy Hart doesn't get enough credit for his contributions in the WWF recording studios of the 80s and early 90s

I do remember an episode of Superstars when McMahon mentions the Mountie by name as Jacques Rougeau. Mr. Perfect was the color and he asked McMahon what his name was. McMahon said, "well, it's Jacques Rougeau". Mr. Perfect responded with, "No, it's THE MOUNTIE!!!"

@jediknightgeo Год назад

Let's goooo! Jaques was GREAT as Mountie. His work in general is super underappreciated. He was also awesome with Pierre as the Quebecers. Very solid tag team.

@InstagramAWrestlingHistorian Год назад

FUN FACT: The Mountie's original theme was based on a song from "The Untouchables". In the movie scene, Eliot Ness and his men are horseback riding with the Canadian Mounted Police!

You are definitely correct, he told the world Jacques trained to become a Mountie.

It's time for The Fabulous Rougeaus to go into the HOF, or at least Jacques. He had a significant, long run in the WWF and was on TV and PPV for years.

@joeljohnson8214 Год назад

@EBC-ENT There is the George Tragos/Lou Thesz HOF in which Owen is inducted. I agree that, in reference to Jacques Rougeau, there are "many who didn't get in and are way above him", but that doesn't undermine his contribution to the WWE product. I should also note that he was a part of my wrestling childhood, so maybe I'm a little biased lol. Either way my brother we both love wrestling and that is all that matters.

@TeeKoon Год назад

When Jacques Sr went to Japan in 1967, he met another french-canadian who wrestled in Vancouver and had only low paying matches. He told him to shave his hairs; becoming russian under the name Ivan Koloff and go to Montreal. In november 68, Koloff vs Johnny Rougeau made the highest North America Attendance record of 20,890 at the Montreal Forum.

@Rjensen2 Год назад

😂😂😂 On what planet was that ever the record? Certainly not this one.

@905north9 Год назад

THE MOUNTIE ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN

@henrikschmidt3964 Год назад

I always appreciated Jacques' quirky sense of humour. I am sure he was highly influential with the 'We're not the Mounties'-theme. I remember a friend telling me about the theme, and I didn't believe him. That was so over the top silly.

@scottnunn7461 Год назад

Quirky is a great word to use for him. Very playful Quebecois

@nbaldwin45 Год назад

On WWE supposedly ignoring Jacques' previous run when he was the Mountie, the commentators actually mentioned his real name during the Mountie's debut and said that he'd previously been part of a successful tag team. I don't think it was mentioned after that though.

Jacque must have had quite the growth spirt outgrowing Raymond. I had always assumed Ray was the younger brother being smaller than Jacque in the WWF.

@TeeKoon Год назад

Jacques got more of the father side look and has a similar physique, Raymond maybe have more traits similar to the mother's family side, the men aren't as tall as the father's family, but Raymond's character is similar to his father, honest, direct and no bs talk, no star ego too! Jr always tells he's not a fighter or tough and point Ray as a legit tough guy. If Raymond didn't wear a leg's cast when Dynamite Kid cheap shot slapped Jacques, Raymond would have fight KId because of the back aggression without warning or face to face. Henning should have disclosed his act and told the Kid he should stop his malicious tricks if he hates being a victim himself.

@shaynewest8757 Год назад

So if one grown adult is taller than another grown adult he must be older? Seriously how do people like you get through life?

@@Rjensen2 Montreal is a city of 2M+, representing a Province (Quebec) of 8M+, predemoninatly French speaking citizens.

Jacques Rougeau annoys a lot of people but I don't know anyone who sided with Dynamite against him and wasn't rooting for Jacques when he knocked Tommy's teeth out. I just wish Raymond had been in good enough shape to show Dynamite up backstage, like Orndorff did Vader and Joey Styles did Bradshaw. Dynamite was an absolute prick by almost all accounts.

@TeeKoon Год назад

Ray inherited the tough side no fear genes of his father, ex golden gloves champ 35 wins in 36 fights. So happy I'm not alone wishing a healthy Ray becoming his hidden tough side, DK underestimating Ray as an easy victim, We missed something bigger than the quarter roll finish, Same height and size, imagine the fight with 3 ends, death, KO or my choice submission hold! Ray trained since age 13 lifting weight and learning, success didn't change him. Would have been a good WWE feud run 1 on 1, gentleman vs bully! DK was lucky Ray didn't punch him, his brother didn't hit as hard as Ray!
