John Mikels Tribute to Luna Vachon

May 6, 2011

I remember as a Little Kid, I was sitting home watching WWF Monday Night Raw in 1993 and was in awe when WWF Showed Highlights of Wrestlemania 9 from the night before re of the debut of Luna Vachon who attacked Sensational Sherri.. I remember seeing this as a big deal when Luna Came down for an interview only to be interrupted by Sensational Sherri and a cat fight to end all cat fights broke out.

I grew up watching WWF with only two Women who were the Main women of the WWF and that was Miss Elizabeth and Sensational Sherri.....So, when someone new enters the company, it was hard and exciting to take at the same time esp. someone that is Bizarre as Luna.

It was sad to see the feud between Luna and Sherri cut short when Sherri left the company and I enjoyed her run with Bam Bam Biagalow in a feud against Doink & Dink the Clown but my Favorite run was of her return to the WWF as the Valet of Goldust in a feud with Marc Mero and Sable... Why is this my Favorite?? Each and every week on Raw we got to see something new between these two women going at it... I was in High School during this run and it was the main topic at my lunch table each week

One Thing Luna Always said was that Sable wasn't a wrestler until she made her one and that is so True.

I never got the Opportunity to ever work with her nor Met her but here is my connection with Luna Vachon....

In 1998 I attended a WWF House Show where Luna was managing The Artist Formally known as Goldust which was awesome to be in attendance and see her work, I also got in contact with Ladies Sports to interview Luna and although I called her Several times, the idea fell through as Luna was too busy to do the interview, I also on behalf of Insane Plan attended House of Pain show in Beaver Falls, PA where Luna was to meet Stacy Hunter in a match but Luna was in a car accident and did not make the event.... Luna was the reason why I drove out of town to see her but I am glad Luna wasn't too seriously injured and glad I later found out she was okay! I also got the opportunity to interview Luna's Family such as her father Butcher Vachon and EX Husband Gangrel who at the time was married to Luna. I also had the opportunity to interview a lot of her friends and peers in pro wrestling more than any other of the Insane Hall of Fame inductees

Luna appeared as this monster scary looking female that took on the best of the men and Women for over two decades and even as a fan of her's, I still saw how beautiful she was inside and out... What touched me the most was I read a lost interview of Luna's for some web site... and When she was working for the WWF, Luna, Sunny, Sable, & Chyna who were the only women of the WWF at the time and they were checking in a hotel and Sunny, Sable, & Chyna rejected fans who wanted autographs because they were too tired, keep in mind the three of them were the good guys in wrestling and Luna was the only female Villian on the roster and no one went up to Luna for an autograph and she over heard a Fan says she won't sign autograps because she's a bitch... Luna than surprised the fans and stayed in the Lobby for two hours signing autographs...Luna said in the interview that Sunny, Sable, & Chyna has to repersent the women of the WWF because the fans look upto them due to there status in the company and I felt bad because I didn't want the fans to hate the women of the WWF and felt I was the only one that could repersent in order to save the fans view on women of wrestling.

That to me is a true worker...Luna is one of a kind and I loved to see her work in the ring as well as out the ring... She truly is an ICON in the world of Women Wrestling and has done so much in such a Little time that she most def. Made a difference that changed the face of women of wrestling.
