The Vachon Brothers (sometimes simply billed as The Vachons) was a professional wrestling tag team composed of Pierre "The Beast" Vachon and Damien "The Pitbull" Vachon. They were one of the leading "heel" teams on the independent circuit during the mid-2000s and, at one point, held the tag team titles of seven different promotions in both eastern Canada and the Northeastern United States, most notably, twice winning the NWA New England Tag Team Championship in 2005 and 2006.[1] Although both men have been reported as the real-life youngest sons of legendary Canadian wrestler Paul "The Butcher" Vachon,[2][3] neither are near relations of the Vachon wrestling family.

They were occasionally joined by Gino Martino, and collectively known as the Alliance of Violence, in CWA Montreal, the official eastern Canada affiliate for AWA Superstars, and other promotions; Martino and Pierre Vachon were the promotion's first-ever tag team champions upon winning the belts in 2006. The Vachons also worked for East Coast Championship Wrestling, Great Canadian Wrestling, the Millennium Wrestling Federation, the National Wrestling Alliance, specifically NWA Green Mountain, NWA: Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, and NWA New England, and Paulie Gilmore's New World Wrestling.
