Wow, that was motivational! Good example how having a work out routine, staying active, and positive yields great results. I didn’t know Ray had such a career and life! Great interview and great guy.
Loved to see this one pop up. Was always a fan of Ray. The All American Boys gimmick and theme was so much fun. BTW, gonna get some five best bets during the baseball homestretch? Been mostly money 🎉
I had suggested Ray for an interview after seeing Jacques. Ray is always a good interview, always full of integrity and always tells the most believable version of the Dynamite Kid story. I hope the show creators had listened to me.
I enjoy your interviews that concern the various promotions. If one wasn't around back in the day you might think there was only one Canadian promotion (Calgary) so thanks for shining the light on Toronto and Montreal. But there were good territories on the east and west coast as well.
@@geraldbrisco6474 All Star Wrestling out of Vancouver (promoted by Rod Fenton, Sandor Kovacs and Gene Kiniski IIRC) would be an interesting listen. They had talent the likes of Don Leo Jonathan, Big John Quinn, Gene Kiniski, Dutch Savage, Bulldog Bob Brown, Dean Higuchi/Ho, Eric Froelich, Duncan McTavish, Jack Bence etc and was mainly hosted by the immortal Ron Morrier. The TV show aired from 1962 until 1989. Hot Rod wrestled there as well and I have to wonder if he got the kilt gimmick from McTavish.
@@geraldbrisco6474 On the East coast there was International Wrestling and later Atlantic/World Grand Prix Wrestling promoted by Al Zinck and then Emile Dupre (AGPW). The stars of those promotions were The Cormiers (The Beast, Leo Burke, Rudy and Bobby Kay), The Stomper Archie Gouldie, Freddie Sweetan, Killer Karl Krupp, Sweet Daddy Siki, Bulldog Bob Brown, The Poffos (Randy, Lanny and Angelo), a young Rick Martel and Stephen Petitpas. JJ Dillon and Bobby Bass might be among the few survivors left to talk about the promotion, also IW announcer Clary Flemming (the original Miiiiiister Flemming before Miiiiister McCluckCluck. If you know it you know it :)
what a great positive attitude ... i remember this guy , but didnt watch much then ... but i knew hed be a great interview because he got out of the ring early ... that shows intelligence and that he was doing bigger things and was smart with his money ... success in life is much more important than a good run in wrestling decades ago
Lots of Italian Canadians in Montreal as well like the great Dino Bravo and his uncle Vic Catrone. Vic was pro wrestler, promoter and mob boss in Montreal.
The Rougeaus were an amazing tag team. Both as good guys and bad guys. Great to see Raymond and Jacques on the show. Always watch when the old school guys are on.
I was too young to get into the business I wanted to get into . By the time I am out of High School that business model was practically dead .1987 the territories were drying up .Had I been just 5-6 years older I would have made my run at wrestling . It was an adventurous life then . Was never glamorous but the brotherhood , traveling and notoriety really appealed to me . Almost like a traveling stage show or a Wild West Stunt Show .
Great fancam of the Raymond vs Owen boxing match. Search - "Owen Hart W/ Jim Cornette vs Ray Rougeau *BOXING MATCH* WWF House Show Montreal," - Corny's great on this getting the heat up.

Canada is just Americas Tophat.
Whats Mexico ? Their spats ?
He's not The Mountie!
how are the rougeaus not in the hall of fame and they have some joker tag teams in it?!
Cowboy Bob Orton vs Mr T boxing match looked like a shoot
Ray Rogue has always been super classy, not like the average wrestler of the 80s
Mayor of Quebec
Correction, Mayor of Rawdon, QC founded in 1799.
Educating the fans takes a long time . If you get them used to GaGa thats what they will think is good .
