Dustin is very sensitive on Twitter, if anyone says anything about him or AEW, he will go on a blocking spree
Pat Patterson in the fruit bowl? is that a pun or what?
BRUCE IS BACK!!! bwahahahahaha!!!!! We want nitty gritty! ha thanks!
Coz the Mountie always gets his man!
What did they use to make Bossman foam at the mouth after he always sold getting that Mountie shockstick?
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.
He didn’t really “stand up” to the Bully when he sucker punched him with a roll of quarters.
Not saying Dynamite didn’t get what he deserved but Jacque actions were no way admirable or was it a redemption in anyway.
Oh an early Father’s Day gift, thanks gentlemen
i am in Quebec and i hate Canada like a person in Texas or Florida would hate Woke California. Do you understand ?
The only time the POS Dynamite Kid ever drew a dine was when the Mountie socked him with a fistful of quarters…
lmaooooooo
🤣😅😆🤣😂🤣
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.
Had 2 Brother Love figures on preorder from Target for months. Hopefully they will arrive soon.
They could do a Brother Love Dope-on-a-rope variant figure. When Piper had him wear a diaper. And also they could do a kilted Brother Love from WMA5
Rougeau told in an interview that the shocstick was his idea … but he saw something before who had it and did the same thing. Maybe i am wrong but it is what i remember.
LOL – Until this very moment, I never got the joke of Mountie having a 'Jacques stick'!
I am laughing but I am also embarrased.
2:04 “these just came out”. I’m good, I have one as well that I took a picture with in 2009. I’m not kidding
When it comes to the mountie in canada… I will say this. Bossman wasn't directly portrayed as law enforcement,otherwise that would be shut down in every city they went to. With the mountie you are literally having his character say I'm law enforcement, your trying to make it seem real… That's a no go.
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!!!"
1:32:26 Vince McMahon acknowledged on commentary that The Mountie was Jacques Rougeau and had previously been in the WWF as part of the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers tag team during Mountie's first TV match.
I also never knew Jacque and Raymond were 3rd generation but, instead 2nd generation wrestlers. I can remember back in 96 and the company was hyping Rocky Maivia as the first 3rd generation superstar in the WWF. Damn WWE revisionist history smdh
11:25 tbh, we Americans are no different
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.
Raymond is now the Mayer of Rawdon ,quebec !!!
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM BOY! I AM THE MOUNTIE!!!" probably the greatest heat getting heal of the New Generation Era. He was phenomenal. Thanks for this
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
So the Jacque Rougeau has def Bret Hart for the Tag & I-C Championship? Interesting
Time for Mr. Zha-Quez Roo-Jee-Oh😎
Bruce had the best line last wk how do wives always win fights i just hear what i want to hear
I am da mounnnnntie!
Love the show guys but I've got to be honest. Was there really many people that requested this subject? I can think of many things I would rather see covered before jacques rougeau. 🤷🏼
How did Conrad miss talking about Men on a Mission accidentally winning the titles from the Quebeccers?
The toy isn't out yet lol😅😂
The first of the family was Édouard "Eddy" Auger nephew of Jacques sr
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.
I love how you reference how Montreal had its own storylines , if you can understand French it’s very interesting to watch , one of the feuds was pat Patterson vs Brutus beefcake hair vs hair
Huh well you know
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 riding on horseback with the Canadian Mounted Police!
Hey Bruce I LOVEEEEEE YOUUUUUU ❤ Brother love was the best. I remember being 11 yrs old and wanted to kill BL. My grandma even wanted to beat his ass 😂
