2017: Mad Dog: The Maurice Vachon Story
Bertrand Hébert and Pat Laprade (ECW Press)
“Mad Dog: The Maurice Vachon Story is a compelling and well-researched biography that explores the life and career of Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon, a wrestler whose impact on the sport transcended his in-ring achievements. Authors Bertrand Hébert and Pat Laprade present an honest portrayal of Vachon, balancing the recounting of his rough persona and controversial tactics with a clear affection for his contributions to wrestling. This narrative captures Vachon’s journey through his amateur career, the entire territorial era of wrestling, and even delves into his thwarted attempt to reinvent himself as a children’s show performer.” - Oliver Lee Bateman
