[1990-12-15-WWF-Superstars] The Mountie vignette

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

I'M NOT A TOUR GUIDE. I'M THE MOUNTIE. The inflection of his voice is completely different than it would be.

Jacques seems to be making his Canadian accent as broad as possible. The head of ALL Mountie horses points to Canada, the other end always points to the United States.

They did tweak the voice but I love all the vignettes they did for the Mountie

He’s not a officer or a tour guide. He’s the Mountie. Nice using the horse as a prop.

I feel sorry for the production assistant that was on horse shit clean-up detail.

This was so bizarre it was comical. Did Vince think that people wouldn't figure out who this was? Just at the start of the year he and his brother were claiming to "love" living in Memphis, and now he's making bizarre anti-American jokes and claiming that he's a member of the RCMP?

 

Even marks knew that wrestlers were repackaged from time to time (whether they knew to call it that or not), so why not show Jacques going through some sort of Mountie training, even if it's 100% faked? Have him explain why he wanted to train as a Mountie (and why they let him, since he obviously wasn't going to be an actual full-time RCMP member) and how it would help him become a star in the WWF. If they could do it for Tito's run as El Matador, to the point of actually paying for his bullfighting lessons, they could have done it for Jacques. Then again, this character was always treated as a joke, even when he was using a cattle prod on his opponents after matches. I'm surprised that the RCMP let this gimmick go on unchallenged for as long as they did.

Goofy fun, but a little one-note for me.
