He came out on studio wrestling in Memphis with his boom box, playing dirty laundry. Dutch Mantel came out and smashed his boom box LMAO
Yes! He smashed it.
@@EXPLISITemcee From what i remember it seemed to be a combination of both. The song Dirty Laundry had nothing to do with the wrestler so we waz all wondering why he was playing it.
Guess management said ya whatever play ur song & then told Dutch to have some with it & break it.
@@EXPLISITemcee Seems like the tape of this is on UA-cam. This was back with Jimmy Hart's First Family. Early to middle 80's.
What's cool about Leduc was his promo skills : the guy could talk.
He scared the shit out of me as a younglin when i watched "la lutte internationale" on tv.😅
@@EXPLISITemcee oftentime, he spoke both in the same promo.😃
Yeah, Leduc was a face on a few occasions, not often but a few. I remember when Jeff Jarrett made his wrestling debut in 86 Leduc came to his rescue against Dundee and Buddy Landell
you familiar with continental wrestling that was ala, fla, miss ??
@@jmc7504 LeDuc and the Mongolian Stomper feuded there and I'm pretty sure at some point they flipped roles with the one being the face becoming the heel and vice versa.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

Love Big Jo Leduc. Saw him several times in International Wrestling. Many bloody matches with Wahoo McDaniel and Abdullah The Butcher
Tuff sumbitch
Lucky you!!! He was already retired when I was a kid. But his late 70's early 80's matches I saw on UA-cam are awesome.
@@shadowdio9512 saw him in the mid to late 80s. Past his prime but still very tough. Being in Canada, he was the babyface
Yeah at the Paul Sauve.
Joe Leduc teamed up with his brother Paul and they were a big draw as heels for quite some times back in the 70's in Montreal.
They had a huge rivalry with the Vachon bros.
Kayfabe brothers. Paul Leduc was born Leduc. Jos' real name was Michel Pigeon.
@@vlada
I know
That sounds crazy. Mad men are lost characters in wrestling.
They don't make wrestlers like Joe LeDuc anymore. And after hearing the stories about him, perhaps that's for the best. ^^;
Granted, seeing him whip the shit out of Kenny Olivier would've been worth the ticket price.
I would pay just about anything to see him whip the crap out of FAKE TOUGH GUY KENNY! Then after that Big LeDuc could end BALDING BUCK AND ROAD WARRIOR BUCK. GOD I WISH SOMEONE WOULD KICK THE LIVING YOU KNOW WHAT OUT OF MOST ALL THE NEW WRESTLERS. They couldnt survive back in the old days.
I miss the days of grandparents sitting front row!!! Mamaw wasn’t afraid to take a swing at a heel. Those days are looong gone now.
Absolutely. When I was a kid I was at an AWA show and saw some old lady, must have been in her 80's, come at Bobby Heenan with a butter knife and he slapped the taste right out of her mouth. Nobody batted an eye. t was pretty much standard fare for house shows in the 70's
Didn't Joe LeDuc work for WWE/F as "the Headbanger" for about five seconds?
Yes and frenchy Martin was his manager

Bill Dundee and Jerry Lawler vs. Joe Leduc and Don Fargo - winner unknown
I remember Leduc being a heel in Quebec and when he turned face, the place exploded and he became popular as this monster that "was on our side". Then he teamed with Dino Bravo against the Road Warriors. The Rodies gave him a brain buster on cement. Leduc was out for a time cause of it. When he returned, he turned heel on Bravo cause of the incident, saying it was his fault and he didn't verify if he was injured. But what he said made sense and people were cheering for Leduc in the feud. I don't know if it lasted long, it must not have cause Bravo would have looked foolish. But at this point Leduc became sort of the Road Warriors of Quebec meaning that someone so badass that you cannot help but to cheer for these type of guys.
@@EXPLISITemcee Yea it was "Lutte International" in the province of Quebec. Gino Brito owned it I think then sold it to Rick Martel. And then Martel sold it to Vince McMahon because he simply could not compete. But for my buck, it was better than the WWF. More realistic.
the man is called Jos!
That's a third time Jim has told the same Jacque rougeau story on the show.
What else is he going to talk about, current wrestling entertainment?
Something about those old school French Canadian guys like Leduc and the Vachons. Legit scary dudes.
I saw a show on YoutTube from when LeDuc and Rougeau were doing their program in Fuller's Southeast territory. I was impressed with both guys. They both gave excellent promos and made you buy into the angle they were in. Jacques would be a very good heel later in his career, but I learned how good of a babyface he was early on.
Since LeDuc is accused of not tagging Dundee I'm guessing that means he was letting Bill take quite a beating. Forced partners maybe ? Or common enemies made them team but it was all a ride ?
In order to sell Joe LeDuc's Heel turn in Florida in 1979, they showed Memphis footage of him collecting a bounty on Jerry Lawler by throwing Lawler through a table. "Money! How does it feel to be in hospital, Lawler? I have never been in hospital in my life!"😂B.W.
The Leduc (Joe and Keyfabe brother Paul) were babyface in Montreal against the Vachon (Maurice Mad Dog and Paul the Butcher) for a long time and did a double turn in a story line too switching roles
One of the most credible and popular run across the province, a classic feud in the top ten.
Escaping the church Sunday Mass to watch their weekly match promo, single or team at the country hotel bar TV on Sherbrooke wrestling show
I remember being really impressed with Jos Leduc . He was the only Lumberjack type that I found appealing . I loved Darsow for his size but his Man Mountain Darsow gimmick fell short of Jos Leduc .
Leduc had a short babyface run against Dundee and Landel, around 85 or 86.
He teamed up with Jerry Lawler. When Joe came back this time, he had been getting in shape. He had some muscle this time around.
I remember LeDuc teaming with Lawler against the Zambooey Express
I was there that night. Leduc refused to tag Lawler.
MemphoWrasslin1 thank you! I knew my spelling was off, but didn’t take time to look it up :)
Wasn’t jo leduc a baby face when he saved a young Jeff Jarrett?
Saturday morning studio show
that's an old joke. can't remember the origin. I think someone told a version of that joke was made the first time Jesus began his career in public speaking.
LeDuc was an outstanding Baby Face in Florida until the Grahams turned him heel. In Florida, he started out as a tagteam with kayfabe brother Paul LeDuc. They were known as the Canadian Lumberjacks. Later, we would see a Lumberjack Match introduced.
I think that Leduc was a Baby in Minneapolis AWA where Vachon broke Leduc's arm and he had to wear a cast. I always wondered about Leduc vs Vachon in a shoot. Leduc is twice Vachon's size, but Vachon never lost a street fight.
His runs on gulf coast he was my hero always my favorite wrestler
What about when he teamed up with Lawler against Z express?
It's weird hearing a wrestling announcer swear. I counted twelve times.
I was under 10 when Luduke first came through the old CWA in Tennessee. I remember him being the first wrestler to scare me
Do you mean leduc?
@@nicholasfarrell8403 yes Joe Leduc. Must have been early that morning for me to misspell it that bad 😆
How's the weather any "showers" ?
Undertaker: Retired.
Thank god.
I seem to remember Joe LeDuc tagging briefly with, I'm pretty sure, Paul Diamond.
Yes he was Diamond's mentor then turned on him.
He helped Jeff Jarrett for a little while
Go on pod bay to hear his full response which is up now
He was a face when he was teamed with Phil Hickerson against Fire & Flame.
Baby face in Gcw too.
LeDuc was the poor man's Mad Dog Vachon.
Hum, sometime, i wonder if it's not the other way.
Vachon was kinda short, while Leduc was really looking like he could rip a man appart. Leduc was a bigger version.
