Jim Powers - The Night Dynamite Kid Got Beat Up by Jacques Rougeau Backstage WWF 

Makes ye think all the most famous ribbers were taken young (Owen, Bulldog, Hennig) while Fuji had health issues before he eventually went. Dynamite is an example of both

Where you there?

Curt is my hero

You were there were ya? By the way you talk it seems like you must of seen alot yourself backstage?

I remember Curt as being perfect

This interview is from 2005 ,he has aged lots ,like every one has

​@donkeyballs3307 this from 2013

@@justinsecrist1130if it’s from 2013, he’s 55 here. Aging like wine

You should consider new Hero's he was a piece of low life trash

​@@CP-kb1duWell, he did say 'was'

@Millwall77 "was" only because DK not alive anymore, or else he would still be a prick

Best comment I have read this morning.🤣

Having a roll keeps ur first closed right for harder impact? Like a closed fist doesn’t pack as much power U heard this story where he got knocked out

That’s kinda the point🙄

Love it....just wish I was there myself to witness it 😂

He gets no respect for that he didn't make dynamite kid fall

@@kingsports1113 didn't matter dynamite lost some teeth, it was deserved Dynamite was a bully

​@@kingsports1113I heard about that. He got hit hard. Most would have been knocked out from it, but he didn't. Never realised that it broke him though, and he was never the same after that. He may have deserved to get hit, I'm not giving anyone praise for ducker punching someone, even worse with a roll of quarters.

A sucker punch with a weapon gets your respect? Why not take him on straight up? He's twice his size.

Snowflake.

Ray Rougeau denies Pats involvement, said they kinda used Pat to carry out the deed...Pat was just in wrong place at wrong time

​@@jonblazeincI'm sure it was both

@@nonyabiz550 i kinda believe Ray more as he masterminded the whole receipt , i think he would have said if Pat was purposely involved as the interview was a few years ago...Bad News only caught the aftermath

Pat was involved and i think that Jacque and Raymond promised him they would never say he had anything to do with it ever

@deisel8535 do you have source about this? I've watched both Ray and Jacques deny Pats involvement on many occasions

He wanted revenge but the rumour was that the rougeaus had strong mafia links in Canada and if Tom got revenge he or his wife and kids could have a hit put out on them so he had to let it be. It ate him up inside cos he had that locker room leader and tough guy aura that got destroyed after that

@@patrickbateman9077I don’t think that’s why he never went for revenge. The version I’ve read from Bret and heard from Anvil is that Vince warned him that if it went any further he would be the one to lose his job and Vince also offered to pay for his extensive dental work. He went from being the locker room tough guy to being literally a toothless bulldog. His injury happened not long after, his divorce and his life spiraled out downhill. I don’t think it was because of some scary mafia rumors. The Rougeua’s were mostly talk. Jacques was 99% talk and still is. The story is Raymond was the legit golden gloves boxer who Dynamite had been goading after an injury to his knee “when your knee gets better come try me Raymond. Better get that knee looked at Raymond. You know where I’ll be” etc. Then he pie faced Jacques and Raymond (and their father) pretty much told Jacques how to handle it and told him he better do it. It killed the legend of Dynamite but it also made Jacques get a big head. To hear him talk he’s some tough guy but nobody else ever got whipped by him legit so who knows.

@@tobysgamingworld1550 Jacques made it clear in shoots about this he knows he's not tough and was scared of Dynamite Kid. But Ray made it clear to him what he had to do, because Dynamite beat Jacques up and taunted an injured Ray

@@dxfifa I’ve heard Jacques brag about who he could whip and how much power he had. I guess it depends on the interview and the day lol. He stood up to a bully and that’s always a good thing. Just reminds me of the old western show where the town coward or drunk accidentally kills the feared gun hand and starts telling everyone how deadly he is. Either way good on him for doing what he did.

Before he actually decided to do something, Dynamite kept taunting him, until he felt he had no choice. If he hadn't done that, Jacques might have let it go.

Yes

Not quite. He was still wrestling quite often in the UK and Germany in 93/94. Then in 95 he packed it up pretty much. He came back in '96 for 2 matches because he needed money but that was it.

He was still wrestling but he was never the same after he hurt his back. He hardly did anything in the tag matches after the back injury

Karma got Dynamite & Perfect. While Rougeau survived

I used to be a big fan of Mr Perfect. This lowers my opinion of him.

Even if Perfect was guilty of what he did no excuse for Dynamite to beat up Jacques blind side just because he heard the Rougeaus went to complain to Vince....Dynamite deserves to get his teeth knocked out, always lovely to hear a bully get their just rewards

@@danjones7561the guy did lots of cocaine. He died from it. Marty Jannetty calls perfect his “trainer”. In addition he started an all out brawl on an airplane with Brock Lesner. He was far from perfect.

Met him a few times, really nice guy

He was

Well, Raymond has said that they hid it all from Patterson by speaking French. Im sure that worked since Patterson also was French-Canadian.

@@kingsports1113 The Rougeaus said Pat didn't know a thing about the plan....he was just in wrong place at wrong time and the Rougeaus thought Pat was perfect to use for the plan to go ahead

Wrong. Dynamite was a legitimately tough man. He couldn't get his revenge because Vince had a lot of his PPV cheques. Also, Jacques made up a story about the mafia that Dino Bravo believed and warned Dynamite. (Bravo had links to the mafia) Dynamite would have killed Jacques

@@karlparratt1730correct. He was know as one of the toughest in the locker room despite his small stature. The only way jacques could get revenge was by sucker punching Tom. He desperately wanted revenge and Brett talks about how it ate him up inside that he couldn’t due to the rumoured mafia links

@@patrickbateman9077 Harley Race and Dan Spivey were 2 of the toughest in the business. If they say he was tough then that's enough

I kinda missed out on watching the bulldogs but remember Davey Boy coming back solo, same he was like a childhood hero but recent years found out he was a bit of a douche but probably not on the level of Dynamite

Dynamite got what he asked for. I think he gave a lot of people crap and especially went after people that he could get away with. Thats a bully. Jac would never say he was a tough guy he did what he had to do and I’m sure the mob thing was a good way for Dynamite to save face. He sounded like a horrible human being. There’s a video on RU-vid I believe of him older talking about breaking the legs of a five year old boy as part of an insurance scam.

Otherwise? Bret has said DK deserved it, many times. In interviews and in his book

It was a roll of quarters in the guy's hand. By all accounts, Dynamite was facing Jacques. The man still had to land the punch. And your hero could have ducked. Instead, he lost four teeth and got his ass kicked.

@Fernando-rp3te you cant duck a suckerpunch. moreover box with someone with a roll of quarters in their gloves. increase the weight of your hands and you can kill someone

Plenty of guys did. It's just the Mcmahon stooges that Warrior treated like bitches that moan about him.

Dynamite sucker punched Jacque and broke his jaw at a a prior date. Thats what precipitated Jacque's comeback.

These are men not school children!

Jesus, what school did you go to? 😅

@@Millwall77 yeah really!

There is nothing standard about any of that. At all.

Both brothers were cowards. Why didn't they challenge the Kid to a one on one fair fight..because they both knew the Englishman would snuff them out.

@@ThePauliebuck Dynamite attacked Jacques from behind which was a cowardly thing to do. He also put a gun to his wife's head which you apparently have no problem with. If Raymond didn't have an injured leg he would have taken care of it there. Vince should have had Dynamite arrested and pressed charges and that would have been the end of it.

Yep, he was married to Bret's wife's sister.

@@kennyhackett1461 ok, cool. Makes sense!

Yeah, just like the "badass" who sucker punched Jacques when he was playing cards.

All is fair in love & war. The Mountie got his man! 👊

Dynamite slapped Jacque in the head when his back was turned. At least Jacque had the balls to face Dynamite before knocking four teeth out of his head.👊

Kid didn't even go down.

@@Halbared I bet he went down on Vince many times.

So, bullies choose the vulnerable as their targets. If Jacques could have successfully stood up to him I'm sure he would have. It was clear nobody with either power or authority was going to help him So, instead of enduring repeats of what he endured untill he quit, he instead do what those who are bullied sometimes do. He snapped internally and escalated the situation to a level he though was required to make the abuse stop. This kind of response is well documented by peer reviewed documentation. If bullies were not so damaged they might take a lesson from incidents like this, but they don't because it goes against their methodology.

After Dynamite Kid cheap shotted him first. Dynamite was a coward that terrorized his family and put a gun to his wife's head.

​@@richardstephens5570he didn't "cheap shot" him. He slapped him in the side of the face and knocked the piss out of him. He didn't use a roll of quarters or brass knuckles, either. Dynamite was a POS no doubt. But that's not the point.

​@@y2fluhow is hitting someone from behind, while they are playing cards, not a cheapshot?

So? What's he supposed to do, pretend he was a nice guy?

He was a live asshole, now he's a dead one.

This interview is very old. Wayy before Dynamite passed.

No, both brothers have said that Jacques hit him while Raymond watched his back. Dynamite never messed with Raymond who was a former boxer.

Jacques said Raymond was on crutches at the time.

Raymond was on crutches at the time. Raymond was a gold gloves boxer and was the tough one of the two brothers but was injured at the time,
