Carl Joseph Yvon Ouellet (born December 30, 1967) is a Canadian retired professional wrestler. He has worked for, among other promotions, the World Wrestling Federation, World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Ouellet achieved his most notable success as one half of The Quebecers with Jacques Rougeau, with whom he is a three-time former WWF Tag Team Champion. He was also a former WCW Hardcore Champion, being awarded the belt by Lance Storm.
WWE rival Bret Hart, with whom Ouellet engaged in a three-month feud during 1995, has retrospectively said of Ouellet and their match at In Your House III: “In a lot of ways, I loved working with guys like him. He was a guy, that when he threw you in the ropes, he really threw you in the ropes…. everything he did was power, and at the same time he was a very safe guy.... He took a lot of pride in his work, he really wanted to have a great match with me…. And so we worked really hard, and it was a really good match.”
Carl Ouellet debuted in 1987. He worked on the independent circuit, at one point forming a tag team with "Evil" Eddie Watts known as the "Super Bees".
In 1993, he met Jacques Rougeau in Puerto Rico, who brought him to the World Wrestling Federation as his tag team partner. As one half of The Quebecers, Ouellet adopted the name Pierre and dressed like Mounties. This was a reference to Jacques's previous gimmick, The Mountie, which the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had banned him from using in Canada, fearing that the heelish character of The Mountie would lead to children mistrusting legitimate law enforcers. The Quebecers sang their own entrance theme, in which they announced that, contrary to appearances, "We're not the Mounties". Later in the year they were joined by manager, Johnny Polo.
