The Wrestling World Remembers Luna VachonMay 6, 2011 I had the privilege of traveling with Luna V. on the bus during our POWW tour. I found her to be an honest, caring, beautiful woman and terrific wrestler. she really embraced the Bad girl persona. It was obvious her life was troubled at times, but she was a true survivor and beautiful soul. She shared with me some aweful stuff about Moolah, its in the book From Queen Kong Queen Kong has worked and Travled with Luna Vachon for POWW  JM: You were a big fan of pro wrestling growing up, who were some of your favorites & influence in Wrestling? Noel Harlow: Sherri Martel was a big influence on me as a child, as well as Miss Elizabeth. Later on Luna Vachon. ---Noel Harlow has been a Indy Valet since 2002

 John Mikels: I know you have done a lot in your career but what are some of your highlights so far in your career? Riptide: Wrestling Chyna and Luna Vachon, those were excellent matches. Training Molly Holly, she is a great person and I was so honored to contribute to her talent development. Winning the PGWA belt from Susan Green, She's a Legend, and I dedicated that match to Liz Chase shortly after her death. ECW, of course, was the greatest experience of my career. Going to Japan and competing in MMA was incredible. Now, I really enjoy working for WEW and doing their Pay Per Views, I get to do ECW-style matches. John Mikels: on your Glorywrestling.com profile you said your best win was over Luna Vachon and your worst lost was over Chyna. these two women are powerhouses and has done a lot in the biz, how would you compare the two women as far as strength goes? Riptide: Two completely different styles. Chyna is just so incredibly strong but Luna is a Lunatic and totally unpredictable. Chyna will out muscle you and Luna will do what you least expect and then she is very tenacious, it's hard to defend yourself against her. ---Riptide wrestled Luna Vachon on the indys
