Jacques Rougeau (born June 13, 1960 in Saint-Sulpice , Québec ) is a retired Canadian wrestler.
Career
Rougeau, whose father and uncle were well-known wrestlers in the Montreal area, began his career in 1977. At first he was quite successful in Tennessee and Alabama , but was also able to win titles in Montreal as a team with his brother Raymond. In 1985 the Fabulous Rougeaus joined the WWE and had feuds with the Hart Foundation and the Killer Bees . After the Royal Rumble in 1990, Raymond Rougeau ended his active career. Jacques returned after a short break as a single wrestler under the name The Mountie . In this gimmick he played a vicious Royal Canadian Mounted police officer who incapacitated his opponents with a stun gun.
On January 17, 1992 he was able to secure the WWF Intercontinental Title in this role, after defeating Bret Hart . Hart's contract situation at WWF was currently unclear, so those responsible decided to let Hart lose the title to Rougeau. At the same time, it was clear to the WWF from the outset that it should only hold the Intercontinental Title temporarily. Rougeau had to pass the title on to Roddy Piper just two days later at the Royal Rumble in 1992 . In October 1992, Rougeau took a break.
In July 1993 he returned to the WWF alongside Carl Ouellet as The Quebecers , they were managed by Johnny Polo . Together they were able to secure the World Tag Team Championship three times . In the late 1990s they moved to WCW, where they performed as The Amazing French Canadians . In 1997 Jacques Rougeau defeated Hulk Hogan in a single match at the Bell Center in Montreal .
After his active wrestling career, Rougeau founded a wrestling school in Montreal, which also trained his son. He also acts as a promoter and hosts wrestling shows.
