Former WWE Ladies Star Luna Vachon Dead at 47
From: SLAM! Sports
Word is circulating quickly that Luna Vachon has died. She was 47.
According to family, she was at her mother's house and was found dead this morning.
The news comes just a short while after a house fire consumed her home and destroyed her wrestling memorabilia.
Gertrude Vachon -- "Trudy" to friends -- was one of the most colourful and eccentric woman wrestlers of all time.
"I taught my daughter Luna how to wrestle and also sent her to Moolah’s wrestling school. She patterned her wrestling style and personality after Mad Dog and I. Luna became one of the most famous and recognized lady wrestlers in wrestling history," wrote her father, Paul "The Butcher" Vachon in his second autobiography.
"As a student, she was very much interested, and very much involved in really, really wanting to do the thing. She had good hopes," said Lillian Ellison, the Fabulous Moolah, years back. It was Moolah that named her "Angel" for wrestling.
