At the absolute height of the nWo, no less. What the hell was up with this? I know they were in Canada, and more specifically Montreal, but still, how did a jobber to the stars at best wind up beating Hogan?

I have no idea about the actual number but i believe he paid Hogan like 50 grand for to take the loss.

They were friendly, Hogan was paid, it wasn't taped, it was a house show and it was Jacques retirement match in his home town. I think that's it.

Yeah, it wasn't even televised, and back then there was no way to watch untelevised matches (except to actually be there of course).

House shows break some of the "rules". Didn't Tito Santana beat Undertaker in one? I recall seeing him hit a piledriver on him, if nothing else.

There is fan footage. But it was never filmed by Turner.

I remember seeing Jacques Rougeau speak at a convention and he talked about drawing gigantic crowds for his promotion in Canada. He didn't mean just the show with Hogan. He meant most of his shows. You would think he would have had these shows taped and he would sell them to make even more money. He'd clean up at his live shows alone, if he was drawing that consistently there. He certainly could have afforded to do it, if his claims are true.

Kevin Steen said Jacques sold the hell out of copies of that tape like 10-11 years after the fact

Another, MAJOR factor in the whole thing was Hogan making a power play BTS with WCW management. Hogan was at odds with them over some contract issues and did the whole thing more to show them he was in control of what he did than they were. Rougeau paying him was just a bonus, and doing it for any reasons like retirement matches or goodwill was negligible.

Hogan has always been someone that wanted to be in control of his own destiny, even if sometimes defiance probably bit him in the ass.

As far as I know, Santana was the first guy to beat Taker. It happened at some show in Mexico or a version of Superstars that aired only in Mexico or something. There used to be Youtube footage of the whole match. Since, the internet wasn't a thing, they never acknowledged it and no one knew.

Jacques was not a JTTS. f*** outta here. He was the Mountie.
And he always gets his man.

Yeah Steen said that Jacques paid Hulk a ton of money so that he would put him over. It reminds me when Otto Wanz paid Verne so that he could be the AWA world champion.

Nothing from WCW or official but someone filmed it I thought. It was a long time ago, but I remember footage of that match being shown on the one hour syndicated version of Nitro they showed in Canada before TSN picked up the show in fall of 1997.

Story goes that Hogan respected Jacques ever since the Dynamite Kid (handle your own business) incident.
Otherwise, pretty much paid well (I read $25,000 in the book on Montreal) and Hogan said "this is your town, brother. I'll put ya over." It was promoted fairly. (Jacques did all the work.)
Needless to say, Eric Bischoff was livid when he heard about this, and this strained relations even further (Pierre-Carl Oulette already had heat with Big Daddy Cool Diesel from their WWF days) with the "Mounties Not The Mounties Quebecers Amazing French Canadians".
Then they show up on Raw not too long after.
