If you were a WWF fan in the late ’80s or early ’90s, you’re certainly familiar with the name Jacques Rougeau, one half of The Quebecers, a team that won the WWF Tag Team Championship on three occasions. If that isn’t ringing a bell, perhaps the name The Mountie might. After returning to the WWF in 1991, Rougeau started portraying a Canadian policeman and he even defeated Bret Hart to win the Intercontinental Championship in January 1992.
Rougeau is a member of the famous Rougeau wrestling family, which has been active since the 1940s and is still thriving. Now The Mountie’s son, Cédric, is set to receive a WWE tryout in September, according to Wrestling Inc.
If you aren’t familiar with the youngest Rougeau, he is only 23, but he is simply gigantic, standing at 6 foot 7 and weighing nearly 300 pounds.

Rachael Ellering and Tessa Blanchard are among the second-generation wrestlers currently popping up on NXT, and Rougeau certainly has the look and the pedigree to be the next.
Here he is wrestling a clown (Doink?) in a handicap match in Montreal, and if nothing else, he certainly has the look of a future WWE star.
