I was too young to see the guy live since I'm only 17 now, but I was watching some of his matches and damn!
The dude was crisp as all hell in the ring and he was a pretty damn good looking guy as well, when everyone brings up 'Which WWE super-star do they find most attractive' I'm surprised no-one mentions The Mountie.

I was a mark for him, and he always seemed to have the most awesome of theme songs, whether it was 'All American Boys' from his earlier tag team days, or his theme for the Mountie

I never thought I would hear anyone walk to the ring accompanied by a song that references Barry Manilow, but the Rougeaus pulled it off. But then Jacques went and topped it with: "I'm the Mountie, I'm handsome, I'm brave I'm strong! I'm the Mountie, and I enforce the law You can try to run, but you can never hide Cause the Mountie, always gets his maaaaaaaaan!" Yeah the Mountie was awesome. It wasn't until very recently when I met someone from Canada that I discovered that real Mounties don't actually carry cattle prods around with them.

I used to like the Mountie. His second theme song was awesome. I always thought Jacques Rougeau was homosexual and they played on that a bit with the character subtly without any overt reference. The hugs with Jimmy Hart, the innuendo when he spent the night in jail during the gimmick match with Bossman, maybe even the whole shock-stick schtick was phallically motivated. And looking back on it now there would be subtle things said on commentary from time to time. Like I think on the night in jail Monsoon said something like "I think the Mountie is more familiar than he lets on with some of those guys" - implying on the surface he is familiar with criminals but subtext maybe a bit....saucier.

Jacques Rougeau kicked ass whether as a tag team with his brother Ray or as the Mountie. That is all.

Jacques Rougeau has always been, in my opinion, the most underrated heel of all time. The dude just oozed sleaziness that it made it impossible not to want to boo the guy. Awhile back someone had a thread talking about six potential guys the WWF could've given the World Title to in 1992 instead of Bret Hart and the Mountie's name was one of them. I could easily see him having an absolutely epic Honky Tonk Man-esque World Title reign.
