Ricky Jackson Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 French-Canadian journeyman wrestler from the late-50s to mid-80s. Apparently he died May 25 but it's only getting out now. Had his greatest success in several southern territories in 70s working as Sgt. Jacques Goulet. Several stints in NYC, including a brief run with Karl Gotch as one half of the WWWF tag team champs in late 71/early 72. By the 80s he was a TV JTTS for Jr and later I believe an agent for many years (he was one of the many old timers who would break up brawls on TV well into the 90s). He was 86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 The JTTS/agent run when he was in his 50s really colors the perception of someone who had a legit career otherwise. I hope there’s a good obit forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Did WWE not do one of those "In memory of..." openings for him back in May? Seems like he'd get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like his family kept it private. I don't think WWE even knew. Or if they did, they kept it private by request of the family.
