I remember shaking Ray Rougaeu's hand back in 1988. It was at the Columbus convention center during a WWF house show. I was 9 years old. My stepfather took me to wrestling shows all the time. Ray walked down the isle just to observe a match. He stood in the isle just to watch a match. He was out of character but in his wrestling attire. I looked over at him and he walked over and shook my hand and my stepdads hand. He seemed like a very nice guy.

[@Brook11223]

@@Tony-fq5bn Hennig is very much at fault and Rougeau's holding no grudge towards him is just horseshit. They know Hennig was the one that locked their gear to the locker and still wanted to believe that Dynamite did but this time it was not Dynamite and Curt Hennig took advantage of the situation to ruin another wrestler's career which I think is just unfair. Yes Dynamite is a bully and a ribber but in this circumstance he is not at fault. Curt is at fault and Jacq should've gone after Curt and not Dynamite.

Everyone by now has seen Dynamite's interviews and read his book. I did as I was a fan of his at the time. Based on this interview, I believe Raymond is 100% telling the truth of what happened. What's really sad is that I was a genuine fan of Dynamite Kid but he turned out to be such a prick in real life. It's well known he treated his wife far worse than he treated his fellow wrestlers. Well if it's any consolation to the Rougeaus, they are both alive, healthy and wealthy and Tommy Billington sadly passed away crippled and in poverty living on assistance in England. Maybe there is such a thing as karma.

Curt was a notorious ribber and that is fine. However, instigating and increasing real heat between people is very annoying. I worked with a guy that did just that and he was a total POS but didn't have the positive qualities that Curt did. He was the brother of the owner and was eventually fired. The point is that if your are going to be a ribber and instigator, you better have good qualities to even things out or you will get screwed one way or another.

[@Tony-fq5bn]

I mean.....it really seems like Curt never got any receipts, or even any real heat for what he did, all the guys just liked him more for it, but Dynamite and Mountie both really owed Curt a big receipt for that, thats some serious shit

Without knowing too much about personalities and politics in wrestling from my understanding Curt was new to WWF when this incident occurred, unless all the wrestlers from all the different organisations knew each other back then that's a real s****y way to bring yourself into a new company

[@vlada]

Growing up as a kid seeing him fly around Edouard Carpentier style with his brother, cousin, uncle, dad, it was kind of sad that the version that ended up 20+ years later in WWE was so limited. This boy sure could fly. When you were wrestling your friends in the yard everyone wanted to be Raymond.

[@MichaelAnderson-jo8iq]

Always, always stand up for yourself or a bully will do just that. I can remember 2 or 3 fights in my life where I genuinely did not want to fight the other guy based on his reputation and every time whether I won or not I gained respect from the other person and they knew their running over me without a fight was over. More importantly It will make you respect yourself even more.

[@CARTOONIVERSE1]

I'm Canadian but as a kid I didn't much care for the Rougeaus as baby faces. But when they turned heel & did that whole "all American Boys" thing I stared to love them. As heels I thought the whole thing was brilliant! A very original take on HEEL.

Yea that's correct. He hit him side on with a make shift knucledustser while he had a cigarette and a cup of coffee in his hand and he still didn't put him down. So make of that what you will.

Even Bret Hart who was really close with Dynamite has said that Dynamite had it coming because he'd bullied so many guys in the past.

[@evilwillhunting]

Ribs are often couched as mischief to break up the monotony, but with a sense of brotherhood. But that's not always the case. Sometimes, especially with people like Tommy Billington, they are ways to bully and torment others. Jacques was in a very tough spot. Tommy was not only a notorious bully, he also was a legitimate tough guy and a very dangerous fighter. When people say Jacques' attack was cowardly -- and maybe it indeed was -- it was the only way he could have beaten him up. Facing off with him, even with Raymond, wouldn't have worked. Dynamite probably would have hurt them both. Bad. Add to the fact that Dynamite had his entourage with him most times... which included his buddy Bad News Brown, another legitimately dangerous man, things could have really gotten bad. Jacques ambush had like a 100 to 1 shot of succeeding, and lucky for him, that "1" came up.

amazing story. I've heard this story before but not from his brother. So many lessons here, manhood, courage, redemption, fear, bullies, being watchful. I stood up to a bully back 87, i hit him in the mouth after being beat up and bullied for months, he was shocked. My only mistake was i didn't realize he was going to come back and try to save face, so right after it happened I was somewhere with my back completely turned at my locker and he came back and beat me pretty bad from behind, nobody had taught me how to watch my back and keep my head on a swivel.... But even though I got my butt kicked from his comeback, the bullying did stop

This interview dovetails perfectly with Jacques interview. The sad thing is almost everybody associated with this incident has passed, Dynamite, Davey boy, Bad News, Warrior, Dino Bravo.

Any time you search "Bullies getting dealt with" This should be the first result that comes up

[@thearm-chaircornerman4101]

Great interview 👍

[@PaulBlankinship1976]

I got nothing but respect for the Rougeau brothers. The way I see it, if you play asshole games you win asshole prizes. Dynamite kid has it coming.

[@Nobrun1]

Watched the whole thing. Loved it.

[@Rendezman562]

great story, thank you!!

[@moereese34]

Why couldn't Vince just get them in a room together so they can found out that they were all being played by Mr. Prefect lol.

how do you know that is mr perfect ?

Because by that point it didn't matter. Things had already gone too far.

Dynamite deserved two separate receipts since he hit both of them. He got off easy.

[@Robstar2672]

Wow, what a horrible culture to have to work in.

[@Vikashar]

Agreed

It's a macho locker room culture. Dog eat dog. Is what it is. But you're right.

[@jumbroni6014]

Please.

[@stuungar4034]

One of the best parts of the story is missing. In Jacques' account, after Hogan says, "I'm outta here," Macho Man walks in, sees all the blood, says "Woooooo" in his distinct voice, turns right back around and leaves the room.

Ray was tougher than Jacques, Davey or dynamite. it's always the quiet, peaceful guys that you don't mess with..

[@sketchstevens5859]

Syracuse and wrestling have a weird connection... The Dynamite fight, Shawn getting whooped by marines, and Michael Cole being from here. I'd probably be a curse on the business being from Cuse as well

12:00 you don’t even need a roll of quarters, a bic lighter works really well too, it just reinforces your hand and gives something sturdy to wrap your fist around. The roll of quarters is obviously preferable, but not many people walk around with a roll of quarters in their pocket in a self defense scenario.

One of my all time favorite wrestling stories.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Raymond is very articulate and intelligent . Great story !!

[@TheStuport]

Actually I'm not too surprised that Curt Henning was "involved"....he was quite the instigator in "the back" according to many wrestlers who spoke of this on the sheets and in their own biography's....and apparently he got worse as his drug use did too thinking it was funny to others....Proud subscriber...TY for the up load(s)

Good on you and your brother, raymond. Any man who wants to be a bully deserves an ass whooping and I'm glad your brother delivered it.
