Sad news for WWE fans, Luna and Akbar no longer exist

Akbar, a legendary American professional wrestling manager, recently passed away at the age of 75. The news came as a huge shock to the wrestling world, as Akbar, aka Jim Wehba, took on many wrestling legends during his 40-year long career. The list includes some professional wrestling heavyweights like Abdullah, Ted DiBiase, King Kong Bundy, Kamala, and many more. He is also credited with helping Stone Cold Steve Austin during his early years as a wrestler.

Wehba’s name in the ring was General Skandor Akbar, an evil Arab who was a domineering high-heeled character. Akbar was active on the independent circuit until he breathed his last. The reason for his death has not been officially confirmed but he allegedly suffered from prostate cancer. TNA star Mick Foley, WWEE legend Jim Ross, and many other stars in the business expressed their grief over the loss of this true wrestling legend.

Aside from Akbar, Luna Vachon, a former wrestler and manager, was found dead last Friday in Florida in her mother’s place. The month of August is turning into a nightmare for wrestling fans as it has already seen the sad disappearance of Lance Cade and General Akbar. Along with WWE, Luna has also worked for ECW and WCW. From her early days in wrestling, Luna had always battled depression and her personal demons. WWE sent her to rehab more than once at the organization’s expense, but Luna couldn’t get over her nastiness.

Luna was last seen in WWE in early 2000. The organization recently confirmed on its official website that Luna (Gertrude Vachon) no longer exists and extended its deepest condolences to her family. He was 48 years old and is survived by his two sons and a granddaughter. ECW legend Tommy Dreamer and WWE Superstar Goldust remembered Luna as a strong, fun-loving lady and reached out to her family at this time of crisis.
