I have a question, in the 90's the WWF had Rougeau brothers employed, Raymond was a babyface announcer, and Jacques was part of the Quebecers, my question did those two ever cross paths, I knew at some point they had a falling out so perhaps Vince kept them apart, but Raymond ever interview the Quebecers, that would be surreal to see.

The absence of an interview is surprising.
You'd have thought Raymond would have wanted to know what inspired his brother to join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. And subsequently why he suddenly quit the Royal Canadian Mounted Police force when he definitely wasn't the Mountie.

I Saw a clip on YouTube from a Canadian WWE Show that was broadcasted in French. The clip? Raymond speaking in French and I think interviewing the Quebecers. I could be mistaken though.

I remember him doing a podium interview with them on Superstars leading up to their match with the Hart Brothers at the Royal Rumble. In a subtle way Jacques alludes to the real life falling out they were having at the time as when addressing the storyline dissension between Bret and Owen, I remember him saying "sometimes brothers don't see eye to eye and sometimes brothers don't get along" while looking at Raymond the whole time.

I recall Ray doing the interviews, but didn't think he was there for that long - a year tops, maybe?
Does anyone know what the falling out was over, and if they reconciled?

I recall Ray doing the interviews, but didn't think he was there for that long - a year tops, maybe? Does anyone know what the falling out was over, and if they reconciled? He was there longer than I remember. I know he was there in early 93, his most memorable interview was Doink's very first interview and when we found out his name, I remember that was a great promo about wanting to rip off the smiles of all the children, and he was in of the Lessle Nelson Summerslam 94 vegnettes, so Ray was there for over a year and half. I don't know what the falling out was over, but if I had to guess it was money, I mean what else, blood might be thicker than water, but money is thicker than all of it. |

I'm sure Phil Parent can cover this better, but here's my view.
Raymond retired at 34, I'm sure Jacques felt slighted that the team was broken up. (Not like they were such hot shit at the time; they were jobbing to the frickin' Bushwackers.)
Vince admired Raymond for his loyalty and sticking to his guns. (Vince tried to talk him out of it. Raymond said no; I'm hurt and I don't need the money.) Made him a French broadcaster, as they still did separate shows.
Later on, Jacques jumped to WCW. Raymond was asked as well (they wanted to go into Montreal), he said no thank you, I'll stay here. Which pretty much assured Raymond had a job for life.
Ray announced 13 years, then he was done.

Wow, that podium interview with Jacques and Raymond triggers a familiar nerve. Like, it seems like it happened and I sorta remember it, but it may be entirely fictional too. I recall Ray doing the interviews, but didn't think he was there for that long - a year tops, maybe? Ray was around well into the Attitude Era. He was part of the French broadcast team that got a ringside table at PPV's in the late '90s. |
