In the latest exclusive for WrestlingNews.co, Steve Fall spoke with former WWE Tag Team Champion ‘The Mountie’ Jacques Rougeau. He talked about his career, the Montreal Screwjob, why he hasn’t watched WWE for 30 years and a lot of other topics. Scroll down to watch the interview.
Rougeau feels his backstage fight with Dynamite Kid is why he is not in the WWE Hall of Fame:
“I honestly feel from the bottom of my heart if it wasn’t for that big fight we had and all that, The Rougeaus would be in the Hall of Fame because everybody else we worked with that we worked months and years with like The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, The Bulldogs, Tito Santana, and everything I accomplished as The Mountie is incredible, The Jailhouse Match. I could go on and on and on about all the things I’ve accomplished in 11 years. I think that he’s given me a receipt by not putting me in the Hall of Fame.”
On why he won the Intercontinental Title from Bret Hart:
“Bret was my best friend everywhere outside the ring and everything. We got along good, but Bret was a very hard man to do business with. I think at the time, he didn’t want to drop the belt to Piper, you know, the Intercontinental, so they used me for an intermediate because I was only two days champion, the Intercontinental champion. I beat Bret because he said he was sick, and he announced he was sick, so I beat nobody. I beat a sick guy, and then the next thing you know, Piper beats me. So I had it for two days.”
