Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that
Jacques Rougeau was almost kicked out of Centre Bell last
weekend prior to the Redemption pay-per-view.
AEW honored the legacy of the Rougeaus during the Buy In
show in a segment that nearly never made it because of a
“temper tantrum” which happened backstage.
Meltzer notes that Jacques gave AEW a tribute video that he
wanted them to play during the show, but the video was
apparently too long, featured footage which AEW had no
rights to rebroadcast, music which was not licensed, and
some AI-generated graphics.
The story goes that the powers that be did not like the
video and were not ready to green-light it for the show,
resulting in Jacques complaining big time about it.
Enough noise was created by the man formerly known as The
Mountie that he was threatened that security would eject him
from the arena if he does not calm down.
However, Rougeau rejected Meltzer’s report in a post on
social media today, saying that Meltzer was slandering him
“on all American sites with false information.”
“I am amazed to see keyboard warriors having the right to
spread false news without being sanctioned or getting their
fingers slapped,” he wrote, adding a photo of Meltzer with a
long nose.
