Carl Ouellet (born December 30, 1967) is a Canadian professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, PCO.[1][8][2][3][4][7][9] He is signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is the TNA Digital Media Champion and Canadian International Heavyweight Champion, both in his first reign.

Ouellet is known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (as Pierre and Jean-Pierre LaFitte) and with World Championship Wrestling (under his real name) during the 1990s. Throughout the 1990s, he regularly teamed with Jacques Rougeau as the Quebecers and the Amazing French Canadians, winning the WWF Tag Team Championship on three occasions. After retiring in 2011, Ouellet returned to the ring in 2016, undergoing a career renaissance with the gimmick of PCO: "part beast-turned-man, part old-time strongman".[5][10] From 2018 to 2021, Ouellet wrestled for Ring of Honor (ROH), where he was a ROH World Champion, ROH World Tag Team Champion, and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion. He joined TNA in 2022.
