The small in stature French Canadian was a legitimate amateur athlete, and even more legitimate tough guy.  Although Maurice “Mad Dog” Vachon was often the shorter combatant, he always looked the toughest.  Vachon was a classic heel, with his shaved head, missing teeth and vicious growl.  Like so many, Vachon did his job so well that he earned major respect and has become one of the most beloved figures in wrestling and is considered a legend in many circles.
