Nevermind Leonardo DiCaprio - Jacques Rougeau deserved an Academy Award for his hammy acting performance at SummerSlam 1991! The crux of his match against the Big Boss Man was showing the good and corrupt sides of the law, with The Mountie naturally playing the villain.

The match was said to be a 'Jailhouse Match', with the loser having to spend 24 hours in a New York City cell. It was an interesting concept, one which could have fallen flat had both guys not been tremendously over with the WWF crowds. 

As it turned out, their match was better than most probably expected.

This is another good example of how popular the Boss Man was once he turned babyface. Not many characters can successfully play hated heel and beloved face with effectively the same gimmick, but Ray Traylor certainly managed it. 

If fans do check this one out, don't miss The Mountie's incredible performance as he's dragged away and locked up following the decision.
