Would love to see this film! This segment features an old neighbor of mine when I was a kid in Portland, Mad Dog Vachon. We lived over on NE 65th & Tillamook & Maurice -Mr. Vachon to me - lived with his family over in Mittlemen's apartments. His son Michael was in my Mom's cub scout pack & sometimes hung with my brother. There was also another son named Dennis, if I remember correctly. I hung over at Vachon's often. Had a crush on his daughter, although I've forgotten her name.
I'm Proud to say I own a copy of this thanks to a video store that went out of business I snatched This Golden classic on Vhs at least I have the original box it came in too! I have other classic wrestling stuff too that are rare as this one as well! thanks to video world They had the best wrestling videos but i got what I could before they were all gone!
You can purchase this movie at universalwrestling's website, there is a link on the main YouTube page for UniversalWrestling, we own the exclusive rights to it. Thanks for your inquiry.
@UniversalWrestling I remember hearing about the movie before it came out and the title was given as "Rasslin." I even have an old NWA Tri-states area program with a little article about the movie. I guess they changed the title?
saw it years ago. still one of the best. great young andre footage as well as an interview with dory funk sr (whom son terry is a ringer for). can't find much film of dory sr. anywhere....
I have heard alot about this movie but never seen it. Pretty cool to see Blackjack Mulligan, one of my favs, so young & tell the story about his stabbing @ the old Boston Garden.
one thing tho, of every wrestler featured in this movie, the only two i can NEVER spot are butch miller & luke williams, if anyone can find them in their copy, PLEASE let me know at which point.
I am Diane Vachons son i was 11 years old when my sister Julie and my mother died in Quebec.. they are buried in a small town called Mansonville near the new port Vermont boarder..
My mother was a great person who touched the lives of everyone who ever came into contact with..i miss her very much!
re: thegrippler, Wow! you must be proud of your mom, I remember reading the wrestling magazines back then and on the second page they had ratings and your mother's name was always rated among the top 3 in the women division along with Vicki Williams for Fabulous Moolah's title.
I have an old wrestling program from the early 1970s that has an article about the making of this movie. Strangly, the movie title was listed as "Rasslin." I never saw the movie but thoroughly enjoyed this video.
If you like the "good old days" wrestling before it became the cartoon character steroid filled monsters of today then this movie is absolutely magnificent!
awesome

That was back when wrestling was wrestling, not the soap opera it is today. It's a shame it's gone downhill so much.

I was a big fan of Vivian Vachon, she was ranked 2 only to the Fabulas Moolah and rarely lost a match.
I was shocked when I read she and her daughter died in a tragic car crash in the early 90's. :(
