0:00.0	This week's Dark Side of the Ring episode focused on the many faces of Luna Vashon,
0:06.6	outside of the steroid trials episode, which is coming up in a couple of weeks.
0:11.2	That's the season finale for season three. This was probably the other one that I was most
0:15.6	looking forward to, because I remember Luna as a young WWF fan. I remember when she came in and
0:21.7	her feud with Sherry Martell, her as the main squeeze for Bam Bam Bigelow and her attitude
0:29.2	ever run with gold dust and then with the oddities before she disappeared. I did not know the
0:35.7	extent of her mental health issues. I knew she was bipolar. I remember reading that when she
0:41.8	passed away, but she could be really tough to handle with her mood swings. I reminded me when
0:48.9	they were talking about her behavior here in this episode and all of that reminded me a lot of
0:54.6	the Chris Canyon episode and the stories that Jim Mitchell told about how one minute canyon
1:00.2	would be his best friend and he'd be the nicest, most affable guy in the world. And then the next
1:05.2	he would have his hands around Mitchell's throat trying to strangle him in a fit of rage.
1:10.2	And then later he wouldn't remember her thing. He wouldn't even have any recollection of it
1:13.8	happening. So there were a lot of similarities, I think, between these two episodes. I got to meet
1:19.4	Luna twice. Once in 1994 at the first fan fest that WWE ever did, the weekend of WrestleMania 10.
1:28.6	I got a autograph. I met her briefly. It was cool. It wasn't like she was a big favorite of mine
1:34.1	or anything. I remember they had the dunk-dunk tank and then over here just kind of standing when
1:40.9	nobody really caring was Nikolai Volkov. I felt bad. I went over. I got his autograph. But that was
1:46.5	the first time I met Luna. And then later on, in 98, they had sent a group of wrestlers up to
1:55.9	our suite during there was a live RAW's war out in New Jersey. And they sent them up there,
2:02.1	you know, Owen and Mick Foley and Mark Henry. Luna was the other person and they were just kind
2:07.7	of hanging out with us for a while and she was a total sweetheart. Just a really nice lady,
