(Watch for more photos in the coming days)


I’d known Luna Vachon (we still called her Angel) since ‘85 and we kept in touch during her up and down years from the Kevin Sullivan 80’s period angle on.  At the last Cauliflower Alley reunion we saw her at (and she absolutely loved coming and seeing all her peers and “family” as she said), she was so proud, “overwhelmed” were her words again at being one of our top honorees.  She cried and was so taken after getting her plaque and crystal trophy as our female wrestler of the year, and had to have Papa Paul help her at the podium, as she was “so full of emotion seeing Harley Race, Nick Bockwinkel, Manny Fernandez, and many other people who’ve been my family for decades here.”

The Notorious Shane Taylor – A “Big League “ Enforcer

Trained by the first installation of the Cleveland Mafia, Ray Rowe and J Rocc, Shane has been running rampant around the Pittsburgh, PA, and Ohio rings for nearly four years now and already he has met and mixed it up with some of the leading Legends of the 20th and 21st centuries.  He is power housing himself into main event status at an unprecedented pace as he devastates his International Wrestling Cartel and Firestorm Pro opponents with breathtaking clotheslines, shoulder blocks, and body slams and knocks the wind out of them more times than not in the process.
