Saw either MadDog or Butcher Vachon at a live event in the 1970's in the Carolina's when the IWA was in town. Asked him for an autograph and got an angry growl and a "get outta here kid" The Greg gagne shoot with Jim Cornette on the Mad Dog airplane incident is must watch!

I don't agree. It showed what the wrestlers did and how the fans reacted. The fans are 10x worse than the wrestlers because they perceive that what they are observing is reality when it's not.

Totally agree. I watched the entire video and Mad Dog kept it real and I honestly felt those last couple questions/comments the interviewer made was really pissing Mad Dog off to the point Mad Dog was about to chew his fingers!!! And to a previous comment about it not being "reality" a. Your not a true wrestling fan and b. Until the early 90's it was more reality than now!!!

Used to love going to Paul sauve arena and old Montreal forum and watching Mad Dog and his brother Paul and the other greats of the time. Joe and paul leduc, Don leo Jonathan, giant jean ferere(andre the giant) Eduard Carpantier, and so many more . The best days of wrestling. PS .. sorry for spelling mistakes, been a while.

The funniest thing that I ever saw, in my life, happened when we went to a wrestling match featuring the Vachon brothers. It was at the Sports arena in LA where the Lakers use to play in 1969 or 1970. Mad Dog was on the spron while his brother was in the ring. My friend "Crazy Carl" says to me and my friend Eddie, "watch this". He gets out of his seat and goes down to the ring and gets as close as he can get to Mad Dog. He starts yelling at him (Carl had a loud booming voice) "Hey Mad Dog, F*** You Mad Dog". He keeps yelling at him for a few minutes. Mad Dog ignores him at first but finally turns around to see who is yelling at him. You expected at this point Mad Dog would just turn back around and ignore him. But instead he leaps off the ring right at Carl. Carl starts running back up the isle with Mad Dog in hot pursuit. As Carl passes us he yells "can't stop now, gotta go". Carl then runs out of the tunnel with Mad Dog still chasing him. The match continues without Mad Dog. Now the match is over and still Mad Dog and Carl haven't returned. Eddie and I leave and go out to the parking lot (Carl was our ride). No Carl, no car. We had to walk home, which was over ten miles. We didn't have enough money for a cab and it was before cell phones. The next day we saw Carl and asked what happened? He said Mad Dog chased him into the parking lot and he (Carl) jumped into his car and drove home.
