Tom Flesher Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Mike Roy is playing a character named Destro who (I swear I am not making this up) found the body of Pierre Carl Ouellett in a cemetery and revived him by implanting a car battery into his chest. The fun part? Mike has PCO doing a bunch of hand strength stunts as part of his "French Frankenstein" character. It's a campy, cheesy gimmick and it's fun to see some old school stunts. In this one, PCO bends a drill bit, breaks a skill saw blade, and lifts an oil barrel using his fingertips. Don't open it at work, there's a lot of monstery screaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flesher Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Roy, the smaller one, was a grip guy and arm wrestler in Canada years ago. He used to weigh about 400 pounds. The other guy was in a tag team called The Quebecers and had a pirate gimmick for a while in the WWF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t look like them.... or was it the guy bending?? He does not look like them either and is way too young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Flesher Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 The big guy doing the bending was Quebecer Pierre. He’s 50, believe it or not. (He really shows his age in some of his other videos, but with his hair trimmed and without zooming in on him in it covers most of his wrinkles and such.) Roy is the smaller guy. He’s been coaching Pierre on bending and other stunts. Most of his previous media seems to have been in French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Mike Roy still armwrestles. He took second place at this year's national championships (50+ years division). As mentioned he used to be much heavier -- about 280 lbs. He went down to about 140 lbs about a dozen years ago, but remarkably still kept most, if not all, of his hand strength. He's extremely impressive at what he does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Flesher Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks, Eric! I didn’t know anything about him until I heard an interview PCO did with Steve Austin so I got some details wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 ^No worries. I’ve been trying to get Mike to come to a grip contest for several years, but he hasn’t shown much interest. His hands aren’t very big, but I’m sure he’d do well in many of the GripTopz events. He’s also an amazing bender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
