Mad Dog Pro Wrestling will host its first gala at John Abbott College on Montreal's West Island Saturday night.
"Mad Dog Pro Wrestling is a way to honour his legacy and to promote wrestling shows, old-school wrestling shows," said founder Andy Ellison.
"I think this a good way to do that and honour someone who really gave his whole life to pro wrestling."
Mad Dog is part of the legendary Quebec Vachon family of wrestlers that includes Paul "Butcher" Vachon, Vivian Vachon, and Luna Vachon.
Maurice's son, Mike Vachon, was the last of the family to enter the ring, and he now lives in Windsor, Ont.
