    Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon, one of the greatest heels of all-time and a former Canadian Olympic wrestler, passed away this morning at 4 a.m. in Omaha, Nebraska. He was 84 years of age.

    He had been in poor health for many years, much of it stemming from a 1987 hit-and-run accident, where Vachon was struck by a driver, which resulted in the amputation of his leg. Most recently, he battled memory issues.

    Mad Dog's brother and long-time tag team partner, Paul "The Butcher" Vachon, confirmed the death.

    Remember him getting the leg ripped off him by Diesel at an IYH PPV in the 90's. Proper heat device that was!

    84 is a grand old age for a pro wrestler. If only many more could see that lifespan.

    RIP
