Entrance Description *  “Oh Canada” plays and Jacques walks to the stage. But instead of simply posing or just walking down the ramp he plays air guitar to his theme music and throws some martial arts strikes as signs of his training and background. Sure he’ll pose with the fans and touch their hands at ringside for babyface appeal but after he scrambles up those steps and backflips over the ropes into a perfect back roll in the ring he immediately gets back to playing “Oh Canada” on air guitar before heading towards the corner and finally calming down with some stretches.

Brief Biography * Despite entering the world of martial arts at age six by way of Enshin Kaikan karate he was a fan of wrestling at about the same age. He would rarely miss a show when it came to Montreal and would watch it regularly as a fan but being a pro wrestler never appealed to him as a career path. He was too busy honing his martial arts skills and then diving deeper into the sport as a protege of legendary mixed martial artist Georges “Rush” St. Pierre. Jacques would still watch it as a casual fan though.

 

Jacques even fought for Northern Combat League. Canada’s largest mixed martial arts company shortly after high school, black belt and all as a representative of “Rush Combat Club.” Belonging to his sensei. And he did damn well at it, winning their Lightheavyweight title and holding it for about a year. Until he got knocked out in the first round to lose the title and once again in his rematch. Jacques left the MMA scene soon after and dove right into professional wrestling. 

 

That’s when he met Maverick Hart and they became fast friends. And made him an easy fit for the Maple Leaf Uprising. While he’s the oldest member he’s got a low amount of wrestling experience. But his legit combat background makes him a good fit for the group.
