15	----
16	!! "We're All American Tropes":
17	* AlwaysGetsHisMan: In his theme as The Mountie.
18	* BadassTeacher: He and Pierre Carl Ouelette trained [[Wrestling/KevinSteen Kevin Steen[=/=]Kevin Owens]].
19	* BashBrothers: With Raymond during their WWE tag team run. Raymond also trained Jacques to retaliate against the Wrestling/DynamiteKid for the latter's bullying.
20	* BilingualBonus: As part of The Rougeau Brothers' [[FaceHeelTurn heel turn]], they had a DoItYourselfThemeTune called "All American Boys." The second verse included the lyrics, "''On peut pas les sentir/Dans le monde ils sont les pires/On aime les faire facher quand qu'on dit'' 'We love the USA'." The French lyrics translated to "We can't stand them/They are the worst in the world/We like to anger them when we say 'We love the USA'." This elevated what may have appeared to be a standard FunnyForeigner act to something nastier for the benefit of French-speaking fans.
21	* BullyingADragon: An unusual example in that Jacques wasn't a real-life fighter, but Raymond trained him into one ([[CombatPragmatist and also got him to hold a roll of quarters in his fist]]) to retaliate against the Wrestling/DynamiteKid's bullying. The confrontation resulted in Jacques knocking out several of Dynamite's teeth and breaking his jaw. Wrestling/BretHart [[CassandraTruth made a point of trying to warn Dynamite beforehand that the Rougeaus were pissed and looking to retaliate]], but Dynamite blew him off. Bret later admitted that Dynamite got what was coming to him.
22	* CivvieSpandex: Wrestles in his Mountie gear.
23	* CombatPragmatist: On Raymond's advice, Jacques held a roll of quarters in his fist when he finally confronted the Dynamite Kid. The quarters reinforced Jacques' fist so that his punches broke Dynamite's jaw and knocked out several of his teeth.
24	* CoolShades: As The Mountie.
25	* DirtyCop: As The Mountie. One of his first feuds with this gimmick was being a {{foil}} to [[Wrestling/BigBossMan The Big Boss Man]].
26	* DreadfulMusician: Sings in both his Mountie and Quebecers themes... off-key.
27	* FlippingTheBird: Became the first wrestler to do so on WWF television after losing his HumiliatingWager below, as he was asked to provide his fingerprints.
28	-->"You want the finger?! ''There's'' the finger!"
29	* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Played straight as The Mountie, and as a member of The Quebecers/The Amazing French-Canadians (in WCW). Cleverly played as a member of The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, since they would carry little American Flags with them to the ring and were billed from Memphis, TN, the hometown of their manager, Wrestling/JimmyHart.
30	* [[FrenchJerk French Canadian Jerk]]: With Raymond as the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, as their theme song and general characters revolved around {{Troll}}ing the fans. Their ring gear often had stereotypical fleur-de-lyses on it. As their manager, Wrestling/JimmyHart wore some fleur-de-lys-covered outfits that were particularly obnoxious even for him.
31	* HumiliatingWager: Lost a Jailhouse Match to [[Wrestling/BigBossMan The Big Boss Man]] at ''Wrestling/{{SummerSlam}} 91''.
32	* IAmSong: His theme was like this.
33	-->''"I'm the Mountie\
34	I'm handsome, I'm brave, I'm strong\
35	I'm the Mountie\
36	And I enforce the law"''
37	* PowerStable: Was briefly a member of Wrestling/LanceStorm's Team Canada in WCW in 2000.
38	* SiblingTeam: With his older brother Raymond as the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers.
39	* StartMyOwn: He had his own promotion, Lutte Familale, from 1999-2011.
40	* TagTeam: The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (with Raymond Rougeau), The Quebecers (with Pierre Oulette)
41	* {{Troll}}: Their "All-American Boys" theme and gimmick was very much this. To this day, people who comment on the video someone posted of the song ''still'' don't get the joke.
42	* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling mountie.
43	* WrestlingFamily: A third-generation performer of a ''five''-generation family, going back to his grandfather Ed Auger.
44	* WronglyAccused: One reason the Dynamite Kid started bullying Jacques was because he thought Jacques was pranking him, even though Wrestling/CurtHennig was the real culprit.
