During the mid-1990s, there were few tag teams more successful in WWE than the Quebecers.

Together, the pair of Jaques and Pierre held the Tag Team Championships on three occasions, though their second reign came to a shocking end in England.

Meeting Men on a Mission, the Canadians were reportedly meant to retain their Tag titles but were blocked by a huge obstacle.

When Mabel, who fans would later know as Viscera, and then Big Daddy V, fell on Pierre, the Canadian struggled to get out from underneath the huge Superstar.

With no other option, the referee was forced to count the pin, and as Pierre was unable to kickout, MOM became the new tag team champions.

Clearly a mistake, their reign wouldn't last long, as the pair would regain the titles just days later.
