Who cares who nominated him, or if he'll make anyone's list? This project is about exploration and reassessment. If you've already made up your mind then what's the point in participating in the discussion aspect?
September 17, 201411 yr comment_5625685 Does he really have a realistic shot at getting even within 50 places of most people's 100? Top 200 even? I'll give him this, he was on occasion a wonderful dick heel and the Fabulous Rogeaus are a very underrated act in general. I think it might be fair to say that Ray tends to get a lot of that "underrated" credit, but Jacques was the heat magnet. I haven't seen his work prior to WWF either, and it could well add to his stock. His late run with The Quebecers helped keep the tag division sort of together at a time when it was going to shit. He was effective at what he did. He got good heat. He was a decent worker. Not really Top 100 calibre in my book, or even close, but in general I'm not down on him.

Wolfman nominated Raymond, I thought if somebody is looking at Raymond than they should look at Jacques. The Rougeau's were great in Montreal and pretty good in the WWF. The Quebecers were a fun team. Probably won't make my list, but I could hear arguments.
September 17, 201411 yr comment_5625695 Now I think about it more, I do see the merit in having rank outsiders like Jacques Rougeau. It can help put other people in perspective too. I also don't think Jacques is necessarily bad, as I've said above. In fact, were I to go on listing beyond my 100, he'd probably finish above Duggan.

His babyface run in Mid-South is incredible. Jacques only has the Garvins feud in Montreal. The Rougeaus are bland with a couple great matches against the Rockers. The Mountie and Quebecers are fun, but that is not Duggan/DiBiase or Duggan/Sawyer. Sell me on Jacques because he seems like a solid hand nothing more.
November 16, 20159 yr comment_5710251 Yea the idea that Jacques has anything on his resume that puts him over Duggan seems pretty insane to me. And I say that as a guy who has seen the whole Garvins/Rougeaus feud from Montreal and really loved it. But those brawls still don't measure up to stuff like Duggan/DiBiase or Duggan/Sawyer. Duggan has like a 3 year period where he was probably the best in the country at big main event bloody brawls.
October 22, 20231 yr comment_6013079 Come to really appreciate the Rogeaus on late 80s WWF house show cards, great character work and Jacques is a great smarmy heel. I think if I made a ballot today he’d probably make it in the 90-100 range.
