User:TravelingCat/Vachon family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vachon wrestling family is a French-Canadian family long associated with professional wrestling in Canada and the United States headed by longtime National Wrestling Alliance veterans Paul "Butcher" Vachon and his brother Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon as well as their sister Vivian. [1] At one point the Vachon's were joined by a storyline brother named "Stan Vachon" who worked with Maurice and Paul Vachon in tag team matches.[2]

In 1975, the family was the subject of a documentary The Wrestling Queen and, in 2007, was featured in World Wrestling Entertainment's The Most Powerful Families in Wrestling.
