When you think of Jacques Rougeau usually two things will come to mind. The first is his excellent tag teams with his older brother Raymond and later with Pierre Ouelette. The second (and our personal favorite) was his work as the evil law enforcement officer, The Mountie. Regardless of which incarnation you think of the end result was a competent worker whose verbal skills were underrated and often underutilized. Beloved in his home province and still promoting cards and developing new talent, Jacques Rougeau may never have been the star of the bill, but it was always much better for having him on it.
We have to admit that we hate it when current WWE performers talk about becoming “the Marty Jannetty” of their team. Jannetty may not have had a career that came close to what Shawn Michaels did, but honestly how many could?
The majority of wrestling fans who remember seeing King Curtis Iaukea would remember him as the mouthpiece for Kamala during his 1987 run and later as the figurehead leader of the unintentionally comical Dungeon of Doom in the mid 90’s. Prior to his managing stint, Iaukea was one of the most feared wrestlers and wreaked havoc in various promotions in the 60’s and 70’s.
It was certainly no misnomer when Brian Knobs and Jerry Sags dubbed their team The Nasty Boys. They looked and wrestled the part and while you wouldn’t see a wrestling clinic when they competed, you would certainly see a match that was well…..nasty.
