10 WCW Superstars Who Should Blame WWE For Their Crappy Gimmicks
8. Amazing French Canadians (The Quebecers)
The Quebecers were a WWE tag team in 1993/94 consisting of Jacques and Pierre. Those names translate to Jack and Peter in case you don't know. Rougeau was known by the WWE fans as part of the Rougeau Brothers team and also a singles run as The Mountie. They were three time WWE tag team champions. Two years after they were done in WWE (in part because Jacques wanted to retire), they ended up in WCW as a team named The Amazing French Canadians. Where do French Canadians usually live in Canada? Quebec. They basically gave them the exact same sort of gimmick that they had in WWE. There was a legal issue for them in WCW because Pierre couldn't use that name since it was just a character name in WWE. He went with his real name of Carl Ouellet in WCW. It was a simple gimmick done to get heat in both companies. It's just a shame that WCW didn't take the time to try to do anything different with these guys. Just another example of WCW being lazy.
