Unless you mean that the Mountie only thought he was really a Mountie and wasn't actually one. I always thought he actually was a Mountie. At least, my 5 year old self did.

Yeah, I think Gorilla Monsoon would always remark on how Jacques Rougeau was deluded and thought he was a Mountie. You see the early 90s 'employment gimmicks' were more about how the wrestler used to do a certain job and carried those neccessary personality traits over into their new (clearly) full time career as a wrestler. Big Bossman wasn't a 'cop'; he was a former prison guard who brought his sadistic discipline to the WWF. I think Undertaker's early 'backstory' was fairly similar too.
It was only the mid 90s when all of a sudden we were meant to believe that these guys were only moonlighting as wrestlers for a little bit of extra pocket money on top of their day job as a plumber/garbage man/race car driver/teacher etc |

Yea, I remember Bossman's backstory as a former prison guard. Just didn't really recall much about the Mountie. By the time I could really remember anything about the Mountie, he was a lower midcard jobber on the losing end of an 8 man tag at Mania VIII and then he disappeared only to return with a fat Mountie as a tag team. But then it turns out they're NOT [the] Mounties.
