I’m from close to Montreal and my grandfather lived in Montreal. I remember watching wrestling with my my grampa Saturday mornings In Montreal and hating the Mountie. He was an excellent heel.
Hearing the difficulties Andre faced while traveling breaks my heart. How he had to plan his travel, lodging, etc. had to be a nightmare sometimes. And something we take for granted every day! I wish I would have been in the position that I’m in now back then. I might have been able to design and manufacture some things that would have made his life a little easier and hopefully better.
If I hear another story of Andre the giant flipping a car over I'm going to freak out… I have heard 15 different versions of the same story but in different towns with different people … If it happened I wish someone would tell the true story of it
Hard to imagine. A VW Beetle (even an old one) is over 2000 lb. With 3-4 average sized guys in it, the weight quickly goes up to ~2500 lb. Andre was a BIG guy, and there's NATURAL strength from carrying that massive frame around, but he was never strong like Big Show, Kevin Nash, or Kane for example. I highly doubt he could flip an empty car let alone one with people in it. The guy could barely STAND UP without holding onto the ropes.
i think the true version the guys were throwing empty cans at Andre until he got sick of it got up chased them in to their car they took off and crashed and that caused the car to roll over then the police came and charged them with dui and they said a giant was chasing them that's why they crashed , i doubt andre could flip a car over, world strongest men cant do that , they flip over cars that have no engines in them , lifting a car off the ground is one thing but flipping it over is another
What are you guys doing? This is the story, this guy was there. He named the town, other people that were there and the type of car. Aside from video evidence this is the best and most accurate story. When this incident got passed around from wrestler to wrestler it changed slightly. But this is the most believable example I ever heard. The Mountie was there! End of story. Of course with this generation, even with video evidence you still would doubt. And Andre was damn strong. Lots wrestlers talk about his strength. He had huge mass and continuous HGH coursing through his veins. He never had surgery to stop it like Big Show did.
Andre and Dusty Rhodes once stole a horse drawn carriage in New York to get back to the hotel! I love Andre a sweet guy with a great sense of humour! Very intelligent. Great soul.
I met Big John Studd at school ( he came and spoke to our grade of classes) when I was in the 2nd or 3rd Grade. SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really wish I could have met Andre the Giant. [ Yesterday I finally saw the movie "Trading Mom". ( I was amazed he had a longer amount of time on screen. I was afraid he was going to be wearing a mask and only have a few seconds in the movie.) I wish Andre had lived longer.]
He wasnt 7'4, but it doesnt matter. He was one of the wrestlers i had the most respect for and if it wasnt for him (NOT for Hogan) then wrestling wouldnt be as big as it is today. RIP Andre
LMAO, 6'10?? In his prime in the 70's, he was 7'4. Look at old pics of him. As he got older, his acromegaly took over and affected his back and joints and he hunched over more. Andre was a true giant with unimaginable and legendary strength.
Andre also had multiple spinal fusions in the 1980's, which shorten you. He wore that over-the-shoulder outfit to cover the scars. Ernie Ladd, a former football player, who was legitimately 6'9", and Andre's big rival in the WWF in the 1970's, said that Andre was half-a-foot taller than him.
He looks good, I like the Rougeau's personally, they seem pretty down to earth guys, but I never was a fan of their in ring work. Sometimes as a heel there was some funny moments with Jacques, but I didn't get them as a team, what made them stand out enough to get that push they got. Everyone but Bam Bam Liked Andre, I just love that match where he near kills Bam Bam, even then I was like this is different, he is hurting this guy, but he deserved it from what I heard.
Andre the giant is so big he is somebody you do not want to fuck with.i don't know what those guys where thinking to piss off a giant capable of flipping over a car.
I think every wrestler wants to connect yourself with andrie as being a friend … from all the interview's I've heard I don't think he had that many friends
Jacques seems like a super nice guy. I wish he would have said Andre's real height and not his kayfabe height like all other wrestlers do. I guess it's out of respect to Andre's myth.
and this was filmed from Brutus Beefcake's Barber Shop? And I thought you aren't allowed to call him "The Mountie" in Canada? because he misrepresented the Royal Mounted Police?
The Interviewer reminds me of General Zod from Superman 2 (1981)
Ha ha... he does!!!
100% agree
same
The Mountie was actually a pretty good mid card heel for a few years there.
I remember being a kid and dis -liking him so much.. haha I remember asking myself what is a mountie?

i've heard this story before, but never heard it from the mounties who were actually THERE. good stuff.
@@skydiving8942 is it though
this is a one way conversation, no other input, just 2 guys that love each other putting one point over.

Yeah. I know what you mean. I’m actually sick of some of the Haku stories as well to be honest.

I thought the mountie was getting his haircut the whole time in a barbershop.. hah
he being interviewed by Zod?
+Marcus Landsberg & he is actually kneeling
+Marcus Landsberg Looks like he's kneeling too.
+Marcus Landsberg not zod but the bearded guy who worked for zod
hahaha
+Marcus Landsberg He does not deserved to be called Zod
It does play like Jacques has already got his haircut but refuses to leave or stop talking about wrestling.
Hah, can you imagine Hannibal comes in to get him to leave, then ends up talking about wrestling for like 3 hours lol
Interviews with Jacqueas arevalways pretty good !
Roddy Piper has a version of the car flipping story, too...
Andre and Dusty Rhodes once stole a horse drawn carriage in New York to get back to the hotel! I love Andre a sweet guy with a great sense of humour! Very intelligent. Great soul.
Very very cool interview
1:43 ive heard a few different versions of this story from other WWF wrestlers from that time, why cant they tell the 1 true version
I met Big John Studd at school ( he came and spoke to our grade of classes) when I was in the 2nd or 3rd Grade.
SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really wish I could have met Andre the Giant. [ Yesterday I finally saw the movie "Trading Mom". ( I was amazed he had a longer amount of time on screen. I was afraid he was going to be wearing a mask and only have a few seconds in the movie.) I wish Andre had lived longer.]
Pp
I live on the Ontario/Quebec border and Jacques sounds just like The boys from Chapeau.
He wasnt 7'4, but it doesnt matter. He was one of the wrestlers i had the most respect for and if it wasnt for him (NOT for Hogan) then wrestling wouldnt be as big as it is today. RIP Andre
in his prime Andre really was 7'4
Joe Di Carlo nah the tallest he ever could had been was 7ft, but more likely 6'10 most of his career
LMAO, 6'10?? In his prime in the 70's, he was 7'4. Look at old pics of him. As he got older, his acromegaly took over and affected his back and joints and he hunched over more. Andre was a true giant with unimaginable and legendary strength.
A legit 7'4 Andre would had been billed 8ft in wwf...
Andre also had multiple spinal fusions in the 1980's, which shorten you. He wore that over-the-shoulder outfit to cover the scars. Ernie Ladd, a former football player, who was legitimately 6'9", and Andre's big rival in the WWF in the 1970's, said that Andre was half-a-foot taller than him.
How do you explain this to the insurance company LMAO Andre the Giant had his own way of punishing people love this guy much respect
He looks good, I like the Rougeau's personally, they seem pretty down to earth guys, but I never was a fan of their in ring work.

The Mountie should have had the chance to become the WWF champion.
Why?
PA28, because he was strong enough.
he wasn't very good tbh, no way in the class of being wwf champion
PA28, well, the competition was intense.
it was back then ,today he would have been a champion for sure
Maybe we have the 4 guys here on youtube,and they confirm this!
Andre the giant is so big he is somebody you do not want to fuck with.i don't know what those guys where thinking to piss off a giant capable of flipping over a car.
Plus, he is the only guy to defeat both Hogan and Warrior.
George Was
I think every wrestler wants to connect yourself with andrie as being a friend … from all the interview's I've heard I don't think he had that many friends
I just seen Mountie on Distraction Quebec
GOOD STORY !!!!!!
Yet another great Andre story. Not everybody liked Andre, King Kong Bundy said he was an A-hole! Lol!
He looks like Jack O'Halloran (Non) was his name in superman 2.
Jacques seems like a super nice guy. I wish he would have said Andre's real height and not his kayfabe height like all other wrestlers do. I guess it's out of respect to Andre's myth.
Nothing against poor Jacque, but why would he be in a barber shop with as little hair as he has left :P
Phoenix7786 he's getting his balls shaved
***** duuuuude
Phoenix7786 He can afford it !
pepperj Wtf man 😂
He's getting a Brazilian bub
:)
and this was filmed from Brutus Beefcake's Barber Shop? And I thought you aren't allowed to call him "The Mountie" in Canada? because he misrepresented the Royal Mounted Police?
Mountie looks like HBK's stunt double
where can I find the whole interview
Here: ruclips.net/video/Y7-3oaRlk7U/видео.html
Why does Hannibal look like General Zod?
From what I read, Jacque and Raymond had another bro, Armand. Never saw him, though.
Right I'm from Quebec and it doesn't surprise me that you never saw him wrestle cause he was the weakest of them and didn't wrestle much
Was Jacques getting a haircut during this?
If he got a haircut,it already happened before he started telling his story.
+Robin Pardy (Sir Robin) He was getting a haircut but I think Jacques chose this well known barber shop in Montreal and plug it. Chez Menick.
who could kick andre's ass if he was pissed?
John cena
You would need more than one guy that's for sure
+BBBYpsi really?
+BBBYpsi Ahhh ok
he asked "kick" not "kissed" if not for Cena's work with children i'd consider him a zero
who wants to get a haircut with Elias
dont fuck with andre. or he will flip you the hell over your car while ur in it
You mess with Jacque Rougeau....you turn up missing FACT! lol
Somebody like the mountie goes to a barbershop for social reasons. Otherwise is a waste of money.
an angry drunk giant
superman 2 lol
They all tell the same Andre stories expect put themselves in it
I hated the mountie when I was a kid
Obey
Andre farts in the faces of wrestlers that piss him off
bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+paul kersey what bullshit? many wrestlers have told the story for many years.
Heard this same story of course from an eye witness, but with different character's. Probably half fact half bullshit
Andre was not 7 foot 4 more like 6,10 6,11
love seeing mountie trolling some.ignorant mark into thinking this story is real hahaha
Priceless!
Hi love. Life hi got no
