Mad Dog Vachon

I first saw Maurice 'Mad Dog' Vachon when he was brought in as a partner for the fat egg suckin dog Dirty Rhodes in Georgia on WTBS' nation wide Georgia Championship Wrestling program. Dirty Rhodes was being picked on by the heel tag team that was running Georgia at the time Ole Anderson & Ivan Koloff. So the fat stupid son of a plumber Dirty Rhodes comes out talking out of the side of his mouth about having a partner to come in to help him. Well they showed a clip and I was blown away.



Now that wasn't the interview but it gives you some idea of what Mad Dog Vachon was all about. And if that didn't convince you then try this DADDY-O!:



That's right The Mad Dog is in the WWE Hall of Fame! He was an ass kicking French Candian who was a cross between The Tazmanian Devil and Satan himself! Mad Dog would often do inteviews with a chain link fence up in front of the camera. He would then smash tomatoes thru the cage to show how he was going to smash his opponents faces thru the cage. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Mad Dog was also a The World Heavyweight Champion of the American Wreslting Association. He had many great battles with long time champ and owner of the AWA Verne Gagne and also blood baths with 'Da Crusher' (Reggie Lisowski). Mad Dog also liked his BEER! GRRRRRRRRRR!



And when he didn't feel like bailing out the fat yellow egg sucking dog Dirty Rhodes and when he got tired of winning all the singles titles he teamed with his brother Butcher Vachon as one of the GREATEST tag teams of all time:



And if you thought Mad Dog Vachon was a phony pro rassler and that a guy named Maurice couldn't be tough or that he was just a little short guy... well you better keep those thoughts to yourself! Maurice was on the Canadian Olympic Wrestling Team, he was one of the toughest street fighters in the history of Montreal and he was known for plucking out the eyeballs of his antagonist and hitting them like lightening and kicking their teeth out once they were down.

You pencil necked geeks can have your John Cena's, your namby pampy sissy boy Shawn Michaels or Hulk Hogans. Gimme THE MAD DOG! (I want to go bite a cage and push somebodys face thru it!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

  1. Great blog, man. I'm really digging your commentary on the glory days of pro wrasslin'. I'm a huge wrestling fan myself. Found your link on Large William's Facebook page. I'll be stopping by more often to read your posts, for sure! I love talking wrestling as much as I love talking movies.
