The Last Villains is the larger-than-life story of the legendary Vachon family of pro wrestlers. The story is told through the only surviving member, Paul “The Butcher and draws a touching parallel between the 80 year old’s, oddly nomadic present day lifestyle—crisscrossing North America with his third wife to peddle his autobiographies to his ever-devoted fans—and the glory years when he and his brother Maurice “Mad Dog” were the kings of the ring.
