10. The Rougeau Brothers Aren't Sitting Waiting On WWE Hall Of Fame
When The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers were flying high in the World Wrestling Federation of the 1980's and early 1990's, tag-team wrestling was very different to what it is now in WWE. The company have made strides in that department recently, but still lack the plethora of tandems that had the division bursting at the seams back in the day.
Once Raymond retired from the ring, his partner Jacques went on to play the role of The Mountie and formed The Quebecers tag-team with Carl Oullet. Meanwhile, Ray worked as an announcer for the WWF. Today, both have retired from the industry, but Raymond gave a shoot interview to The Hannibal TV this week.
When quizzed about induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame, Rougeau claimed he would be delighted, but wasn't going to sit around waiting for the call. Interestingly, he then went on to say that he realises that The Rougeau Brothers wouldn't look out of place when he scans the list of previous inductees.
The Rougeau's may someday get the nod, but it's likely WrestleMania would have to take place in Canada for that to happen.
