Hulk Hogan has pretty much spoiled that the Fabulous Rougeaus are going in the HOF this year (probably with Hulk inducting) .
Could this mean that we would finally get a Mountie elite!?
Any other looks that could potentially need doing?

What’s the connection with him and them? Don’t they usually have people with connections induct them?

Any other looks that could potentially need doing? They've said we're probably never getting a Mountie Mattel because of the issues the real-life Canadian Mounties/Police have with the character. Pretty sure the Rougeaus were originally planned to be a part of the early TRU Legends two-packs before that line fell apart though, and I'd personally still hope that The Quebecers might be possible because they're just different enough if we can't get the Mountie. |

They need to make the Mountie
Just name him jacques rougeau and dont put any mountie logos on the attire.
It can be a generic attire.

Red sleeveless shirt, black pants with yellow stripe and brown boots? I think thats all they need to do really. Add glasses and hat and shockstick. We all know he was the mountie but its not advertised as the mountie. They could just leave all the official crests and logos off the shirt . Just my 2 cents |

To me The Mountie is in the same category as Snuka, Benoit for now.
Rougeau Brothers? What validates them even being in the Hall of Fame to begin with?

Quebecer Jacques should be doable.

Just my 2 cents I’d say if there’s even a small chance the figure could get pulled they wouldn’t waste time and money on it tbh Making the moulds, designing the figure, making protos etc only to have it pulled - they probably will be extra cautious post rvd and strongbow |

Hogan was totally cool with losing to Jacques in Montreal at the peak of his NWO run. I don't know how to better describe how big Jacques was in Montreal than that lol |

The Rougeous were great wrestlers, so entertaining.

I have no problem with the Fabulous Rougeaus going in, but I really wish they would induct Demolition while they are still alive.
Also, Miss Elizabeth should be in although it sounds like her family has declined it on previous attempts. Chyna should be in too, but we are probably going to get Stacy Kiebler instead.
Figures of Fabulous Rougeaus would be cool. I think they could get around the Mountie issue like others have described. Mattel probably just needs to give them a royalty and I'm sure they'll get over their issues for a character from 30 years ago.

Need more tag teams from that era. The Rogeaus, I mean.

Any other looks that could potentially need doing? Where is this info coming from? Hogan outside of doing a non WWE job to Jacques in Canada, he has no connection with them. I could see Jimmy Hart doing the induction if they were to get in. |

I would love to see the Rougeau's make it into the Legends line, hopefully complete with entrance jackets. Would love to see them in the Ultimate line at some point as well but don't think they'll ever get Ultimate treatment unfortunately.
As far as a Mountie figure goes I do believe that it's one of those must haves for a Federation Era collector, however I don't see one happening. Hope I'm wrong though cause he's one I'd love to have in my collection.

I could see them going in. At the same time very few people are as full of sh** as the Hulkster so who knows.
Can’t see a Mountie being made unless it’s super bare bones.

I could see Jimmy Hart doing the induction if they were to get in. Hogan made a Tiktok video from his beach shop saying he thinks the Fabulous Rougeaus should be inducted. He didnt say they were getting inducted. |
