LuFisto Enters the Quebec Wrestling Hall of Fame!
The official committee of the Quebec Wrestling Hall of Fame has voted for three new inductees for 2020 and they are Yukon Eric, Henri Deglane and finally, LuFisto!
Former Montreal World Champion Yukon Eric is well known because of the match with Kowalski in which he lost his ear as Deglane is known to have brought back wrestling into the mainstream in Montreal in 1928, but better known for his match against Strangler Lewis in 1931, the very first Montreal Screw Job.
When it comes to Quebec talent, LuFIsto becomes the second woman to enter the Quebec Wrestling Hall of Fame after Vivian Vachon. Also, she is the first ever inductee, man or woman, that only performed on the independent circuit, which makes this news even more impressive.
In the words of author and wrestling historian Patric Laprade states:
“If the title of best female wrestler of the Province of Quebec was once Vivian Vachon’s, now it is LuFisto’s”.
Laprade mentions her international career but also the fact that she is an innovator for women in the hardcore wrestling style but also a pioneer when it comes to intergender wrestling as she is the first woman to hold the main championship of a men’s promotion.
This is a huge honor as LuFisto is now part of the same club as legends such as the Rougeau Family, the Vachons, Pat Paterson, Rick Martel, the Leducs, PCO Pierre-Carl Ouellet, Kevin Owens but also Abdullah the Butcher, Andre the Giant, Killer Kowalski, Lou Thesz, Hulk Hogan the Raod Warriors and Bret “The Hitman”
Hart.
LuFisto is now inducted into three different Hall of Fame: CZW, NSPW and the Quebec Wrestling Hall of Fame.
