[8.0] "My dad's favourite wrestler, he told me all the matches he went to see in Châteauguay back in the 70's and on the french canadian tv back in the days. Was called "Sur le matelas" on CFTM and everybody watched, I get nostalgic because I lost my dad very young and every time I hear the name Mad Dog Vachon I think about him. Rest in peace Maurice"

[10.0] "Mad Dog was *the man. * His intensity and style was a sight to behold. It blows my mind anyone would rate him below a 9 or so. When one thinks of the AWA, he's one of the first 3 or 4 names that do/should come to mind."

[10.0] "I am surprised he is rated so low. He was an excellent wrestler. He was a little big man that conquered wrestling. He was very technical and great at submission holds. He was an excellent heel and was scary looking with his beard and bald head. He is the best Quebecer wrestler of all time."

[10.0] "Mad Dog Vachon- The PWHF that's the Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame the real pro wrestling hall of fame not Vince and WWF\E Hall of Fame but the Real one! Ranked him the #4th Greatest Heel of All-time ! He is a Canadian Icon ! From The Iconic Wrestling Family The Vachon family Vachon was the brother of Butcher Vachon, the uncle of Damien Vachon, the uncle of Luna Vachon, the father of Mike Vachon, the uncle of Pierre Vachon and the brother of Vivianne Vachon. He was one of the most vicious and most hated men in all of professional wrestling and surpassingly became a fan favorite later in his career. His Tazmanian Devil-ish appearance and style was legendary, and his opponents, nearly all of which were far larger than Vachon, were well aware that the "Mad Dog" was 5'7-5'9 of pure dynamite. A man who was perpetual motion in the ring (nearly all of it stomping, biting, and pounding), his stamina was known worldwide, nearly as much as his reputation as a bloodthirsty mauler. A extremely intense ring-presence and in real life! Harley Race says no wrestler in history has been in and won more bar fights then mad dog and he ain't the only one that says this. Mad dog was on the Canadian Olympic team he finished #7 he rebound that to win a gold medal at the British Empire games forerunner commonwealth games, he was showing a score of future "psychotic" wrestlers how its done. Truly, "Mad Dog" Vachon was a legitimate trendsetter, and a wrestling wildman unlike all other"

[10.0] "Mad Dog Vachon was an extremely intense ring-presence, no matter how old he was. He was an ultra-heel and a mega-face. One of the high points of the AWA's history, as well as the history of the other promotions he worked with."
