Recently, Matt Striker referred to Serena as the anti-diva. That may be somewhat accurate, but had the diva term been associated with wrestling in the past, that designation would have been earmarked for Luna Vachon. As the daughter of Paul Vachon and the niece of Mad Dog and Vivian Vachon, Luna was bred for the business. She was compact, strong and could grapple, but her main asset may have been her eccentric look. Ironically, that look always managed to keep her employed but inhibited her from being pushed as the top female in any promotion. Sadly, Luna fell on hard times and was found dead recently. She is one of many who gave more to the wrestling game than she received in return.

Should Luna Vachon be in the Hall of Fame?
