October LOW release

[pikemojo]

I definitely like the mechanic for their finisher. I was curious why they weren't given some form of a singles finisher. Sorta feels like his short chokeslam could have been a singles finisher to make this a Quebecers card or a color Mountie card.

I agree that it seems tough not to include singles finishers for them! Very fun cards though. Has anyone worked out their 'ratings?' It look slike the singes ratings for all four cards are going to be pretty low.

Jacques 18/37
Pierre 11/27

Killer 5/21
Psycho 12/29

That's a question I have for a long time.Which Combination would have more success.Two strong Single Guys in a Team or two with a equal Rating for Tagteam?

I did a lot of the work on their cards. In watching footage from their first WWF run in '93-'94, their WCW run as the Amazing French Canadians in '96-'97, and their WWF return in '98, they did a lot of frequent tags and double team moves. There were more double team moves that I could have put on the card but both Jacques and Pierre were already loaded with tag moves! I never saw Jacques use his short choke slam in any of their tag matches. Certainly, he could have done it but I never saw it in the matches I watched. I also thought that the short choke slam really represented Jacques's two years or so as the Mountie. Hopefully, down the line, we will do a Mountie color card. (Same reason we didn't put his SHOCK STICK gimmick on this card. He didn't use it when he teamed with Pierre.)

Another thing I thought of with Pierre was that he was really young when he and Jacques started teaming in '93 and he had mainly just worked smaller Canadian indies prior to his first run in the WWF. So in a sense, the tag card is sort of the early years of his career, where he was primarily a tag guy. Even though he had the run as Jean-Pierre LaFitte in '95 in between the two tag team runs, that was a short timeframe in his overall career.

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the peek behind the curtain of the statting thoughts. I always enjoy hearing the thought processes that go into it.
