One day backstage, Jacques Rougeau sat down to play cards with some of the other wrestlers and was blindsided by Dynamite. The Brit roughed Jacques up, and Rougeau was left so embarrassed by the incident that he struggled to sleep at night.

He also shed 10lbs in weight due to the stress, and told VICE he didn't shave for weeks because he didn't want to see himself in the mirror. It was Jacques' father who told him he needed to stand up to Dynamite - his advice was to hit the bank, get a roll of quarters and then thump Tom when he least expected it.

Instead, Rougeau used some brass knucks to get his revenge.

That humbled Dynamite in front of the locker room, and most talking heads agree that he was never the same afterwards. Jacques didn't stop there though. He decided to have a little fun at Tom's expense, and that's when things really got out of hand.
