10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (25 Oct)

10. PCO's Interesting Self-Study

Let's kick off with that introspection.

Back in 1995, Jean-Pierre Lafitte committed career suicide by refusing to do the J.O.B for WWF Champ Kevin Nash in his native Quebec. That was the career equivalent of walking up to Shawn Michaels, spitting in his face and slapping Vince McMahon on the way out. In other words, Jean-Pierre was Laf*cked.

Here's where it gets interesting. Years later, Lafitte decided to write down on a sheet of paper exactly why he didn't like members of The Kliq. When he'd finished, the French-Canadian realised he could see many of those unlikeable characteristics in himself. So, he had a word with himself and decided to start being more tolerant.

The artist now known as PCO told Interactive Wrestling Radio that he couldn't judge anybody when he was pretty much acting with the same arrogance. Looking back, he regrets pulling the Quebec stunt, and realises trying to take a stand against Kliq dominance of the WWF locker room wasn't the best idea.
