They might have been dull as faces but as soon as they turned heel they were great how could you hate their theme song. Who else was fans of them?

They so needed that heel turn, there were so many face tag teams already cluttering up the roster. The Killer Bees, the Bulldogs, JYD/George Steele (or Tito Santana), the Can-Am Connection, Hulk Hogan and his best friend of the month, the Islanders for a time. They needed a couple of more heel teams to balance the tag roster and the Rougeaus fit the bill. Not only were they handsome lads, they were from Montreal, Quebec, which is almost a foreign country in and of itself.
Yes, I was a fan.

Went to a show at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1988 and the Rougeaus probably got the most heat of anyone on the card. Just a great obnoxious team that you wanted to see get their asses kicked.

Yeah that theme is classic, Jimmy Hart wrote that if I'm not mistaken. Great tag team as well, one of my favorites as a kid. I didn't really understand face and heel turns back then since I was a little kid so I wasn't exactly sure if I was "supposed to" like them or not, but I always found them entertaining. At one point I was such a fan that in the fantasy booking I used to scribble into notebooks I had them both as singles stars feuding over the World Title. I think I got the idea from the Strike Force split, and I was like "same thing, but Rougeaus! And it's for the WOOOOORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION CHAMPIONSHIP!"

The Rougeaus had a terrific match in the UK with the Rockers on a WWE tour.
And Jacques earns my undying respect for KO-ing Dynamite Kid.

The thought of Jacques and Raymond with their little USA flags and fake smiles is forever etched in my mind.

I preferred Jacques later incarnations of The Mountie and one half of the Quebecers
I want to think they had some sort of Manager too...can't for the life of me remember who it was though, Think he was a commentator too......
Looked a lot like Raven too.....

Loved the Rougeaus. Personally I think they & their father * Uncle should be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Why couldn't they have had a tag title run? Their heat was TREMENDOUS!
