10 Best Foreign Heels In WWE History
10. Jacques Rougeau
Quebecan Jacques Rougeau debuted in WWF alongside brother Raymond as part of the Fabulous Rougeaus tag team. They initially worked as faces, and overcame stiff competition from the likes of The Hart Foundation and The Dream Team (Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake) en route to becoming Tag Team Champions in 1987.
The Rougeaus turned heel a year later. Having been originally billed from Memphis, Tennessee, they denounced America, called back to their Canadian heritage, and became one of the company’s most hated acts. Whether through their sarcastic waving of tiny American flags on their way to the ring or coming-out to a song named “All-American Boys” sung almost entirely in French, the Rougeaus were trolls long before the internet era.
Raymond retired in 1990, and Jacques took-on the persona of 'The Mountie': a corrupt, cattle prod-wielding Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer. A great midcard heel and perpetual hate merchant, The Mountie is a former WWF Intercontinental Champion, and became infamous by shocking downed opponents with said cattle prod.
