You would be hard-pressed to find anyone, let alone a female Superstar as intimidating as Luna Vachon. A descendant of the legendary Vachon wrestling family, Luna certainly fit the mould you would expect from anyone related to Mad Dog Vachon. For over two decades, Luna travelled the world as one of the most dominant women's competitors of all-time.
Early on in her career, Luna got started working in The Fabulous Moolah's promotion. Over time, WWE officials started taking notice of her incredible talent, and eventually signed Luna in the early 1990’s.

Luna spent much of her WWE tenure as a valet to various heel Superstars. Her unique presence provided an unmatched advantage for whoever had her in their respective corner.
Unfortunately, Luna had a very difficult struggle with addiction. While the WWE paid for her to go into rehabilitation, Luna could never quite beat the demon of addiction. Sadly, she passed away in 2010, after she overdosed on a mixture of pharmaceutical prescription drugs.
Luna was buried at a private ceremony, in North Carolina, on the grounds of her dear friend, Andre the Giant’s property.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
