Infobox Wrestler
]]}} Michel Vigneault was a Canadian professional wrestler, known by his ring name Michel "Mad Dog" Martel, who competed in North American and international regional promotions including Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, Stampede Wrestling, International Wrestling Enterprise and the World Wrestling Council during the late 1960s and 70s. He was also one half of The Mercenaries with Frenchy Martin. One of the most popular Canadian stars wrestling in Puerto Rico during the mid-1970s, his mysterious death in 1978 has long been subject of controversy and speculation. Heavily promoted by WWC promoter Carlos Colon that Martel had died as a result of a "heart punch" used by wrestler Jose Gonzalez during his last match, it has long been the subject of rumor that Martel's death had been caused by an injury suffered in the ring, ranging from a ruptured aorta or broken rib which punctured his heart although this has since been revealed as "kayfabe" used to promote Gonzalez's feud with Frenchy Martin and Michel Martel's younger brother Rick Martel. [1] [edit] Early careerThe eldest of six children, Vigneault was born in Quebec City to Fernand Vigneault and Evelyne Harvey in October 1944. During high school, Vigneault became involved in powerlifting and began working nights as a bouncer and bartender in local clubs. It was during this time that he would meet his future tag team partner Pierre Martin. During the late 1960s, he began training with his uncles Real Choinard and Aldrick Harvey who wrestled occasionally for promoter Johnny Rougeau. In 1968, he began touring northern Ontario during the summer for Larry Kasaboski. During his time in the area, he was trained by Vic Tanney and later wrestled for Johnny Rougeau in Quebec for a time before traveling to Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling. [1] [edit] Stampede WrestlingDuring his time in Stampede Wrestling, he would gain early success as a singles competitor becoming involved in a high profile feud "Cowboy" Dan Kroffat before teaming with Danny Babich to defeat Earl Black & Tiger Tomasso for the Stampede International Tag team Championship in Calgary, Alberta on October 1, 1971. However, their championship reign was brief as they lost the titles to Chin Lee & Sugi Sito less then two weeks later. He and Babich would later defeat Tiger Joe Tomasso & Gil Hayes to recapture the tag team titles in mid-December only to loose the titles to George Gordienko & Super Hawk on December 16. Rebounding a week later, they won the titles back from George Gordienko & Super Hawk on December 23 and held on to the titles for almost a month before loosing to Dan Kroffat & Lennie Hurst in Edmonton, Alberta on January 20, 1972. Winning back the titles in Calgary on February 9, he and Babich would eventually loose the titles to Carlos Belafonte & Gino Caruso two months later. While in Calgary, Martel would also occasionally return to Quebec from time to time as well as travel to Mexico where he wrestled as The Lumberjack. [1] [edit] The Mercenaries in Japan & Puerto RicoBy the mid-1970s, Martel had become an established star in Stampede Wrestling and persuaded Pierre Martin to enter professional wrestling as well. Martin eventually agreed and, after training with several veterans in Quebec, Martel brought him into Stampede Wrestling during his first year as Don Gagne. They soon began teaming together as The Mercenaries, their in-ring personas closely mirroring the Quebecois nationalist movements active in Quebec during that time, and began wrestling in Montreal and the Maritimes for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling as Michel and Pierre Martel feuding with Leo Burke, The Beast, Rudy Kay and Roddy Piper. However, it was in Puerto Rico where The Mercenaries gained the greatest success, when his friends Carlos Colon and Victor Rivera established the World Wrestling Council the previous year. Signing with the promotion in early 1975, he and Martin would defeat Vikingo & Ciclon Sudamericano for the WWC North American Tag Team Championship in Caguas, Puerto Rico on April 8, 1975. After loosing the titles to Jose Rivera & Ciclon on August 2, they also had a brief stay in the Cleveland-based International Wrestling Association facing Johnny Powers & Pez Whatley in Walpole, Massachusetts on October 1. [2] However, negotiations to sign with the IWA would later fall through due to miscommunication with promoters Pedro Martínez and Eddie Einhorn including being unable to attain a work visa among other issues. Later that year, they would also began touring Japan as Combat defeating the Great Kusatsu & Mighty Inoue for the IWA World Tag Team Championship in Tokyo, Japan on November 3 before loosing the titles back to Kusatsu & Mighty Inoue in Yokohama, Japan the following month. [3] During the next two years, The Mercenaries would become one of the most popular tag teams in the promotion and feuded with many of the of the biggest stars of the era including Carlos Colon, Jose and Johnny Rivera and The Moondogs. He and Martin would eventually be joined Danny Babich, Martel's former Stampede Wrestling tag team partner, who became the third member of The Mercenaries as Daniel Martel. Later defeating The Medics for the WWC North American Tag Team titles in May 1977, he would feud over the tag team championship with Jose Rivera & Hercules Ayala and eventually won the tag team titles twice more with Babich before the end of the year. He would also team with his brother Rick Martel in Quebec soon after his brothers debut as well as in Georgia and Calgary where he also briefly feuded with Leo Burke over the Stampede North American Championship defeating Burke for the title in March before loosing it back to him the following month. [1] [edit] DeathOn the night of June 30, 1978, Martel was wrestling at a WWC event in Ponce, Puerto Rico appearing on the undercard in a 6-man tag team match Pierre Martin and Jack Lafarb facing Carlos Colon & The Invaders (Invader I & Invader II). Although showing no signs during the match, he complained of suffering discomfort during the match to his tag team partner while backstage preparing to leave for the night. Although Martin had offered to take him to a hospital, Martel claimed he felt better and wasn't necessary instead wanting to go back to San Juan, Puerto Rico. However, within minutes of leaving the arena, Martel began suffering some sort of heart attack asking Martin to pull over to the side of the road. Martin attempted, but was able to vomit, and his lips began turning blue. Although Martin drove Martel to a nearby hospital only five minutes away, Martel was pronounced dead on arrival and attempts to resuscitate him would fail. Rick Martel, now 21 years old, would eventually be flown in to Puerto Rico to identify his brother and eventually charged with bringing his body back to Quebec. His death was not only announced by Bob Leonard in Stampede Wrestling but also the World Wrestling Council where promoter Carlos Colon and Jose Gonzalez would use Martel's death to promote a long running feud between The Invaders and Pierre Martin & Rick Martel with the promotion claiming that Martel's attack had been caused by Gonzales using the then banned "heart punch" during their last match. This incident was later brought up when Jose Gonzalez stabbed American wrestler Bruiser Brody to death at a WWC show in 1988. Although drug and alcohol use had been speculated as contributing factors to his death, Rick Martel, Pierre Martin and others believe that Martel's main artery had become blocked during the match causing him to suffocate later on during the night.

Infobox Military Unit
]]}} Kustjägarna / Coastal Rangers is located in Berga at Första Amfibieregementet, AMF1 (First Amphibious Regiment) and is a Swedish military unit. The unit is mainly focused on intelligence gathering, sabotage and in some cases amphibious landings. [edit] HistoryKustjägarna, KJ (Coastal Rangers) was created in 1956 and modelled after the British post-World War II marine commando forces such as the Royal Marines and the Special Boat Service (SBS), with the objective to create a highly mobile force which had the flexibility to operate behind enemy lines and conduct raids against an invading force in the littoral areas of Stockholm.[1] The Coastal Rangers was during the late parts of the cold war (80s, beginning of 90s) used mainly as a very highly trained light infantry/commando regiment which main tasks was amphibious landings and Hand-to-hand combat. Because of this alignment it was very important to have high discipline, strenuous training and a rough attitude. But now (2000-present) when the task is changed the company has changed it's attitude to be more humble, calm - to fit their present tasks better. [edit] OrganizationKJ is a part of Första Amfibieregementet, AMF1. The Coastal Ranger-company's main task is gathering information to be used by the other parts of the Amphibious Regiment, by that mean KJ is gathering intelligence to be used when the Amfibieskytte (marine infantry), the robot platoon, grenadier platoon or other fighting parts of the regiment is preparing for assaults/amphibious landings. [edit] Operations and trainingThe KJ main task is intelligence gathering, sabotage and secondary direct warfare using amphibous landings or land warfare.[2] The unit can be deployed with helicopter, boats, cayaks, diving(attackdykarna) or surface swimming. The 6 men teams operate in small autonomous groups trained for long term independence and autonomy. Each group consists of a group leader and a deputy group leader, a sniper, demolitions expert, medic and communications expert. There is also a specialized sniper-group which consists of 6 persons, they are then divided into pairs (one spotter and one shooter) which is able to to reconnaissance, sabotage and other tasks in pairs for up to 30+ days. The unit is made up of conscripts who have all volunteered for the special service, commissioned officers and reserve officers who in most cases are former KJ conscripts. Previously the complete training program was 15 months but from 2007 and on it's 11+6 months (when you've done 11 you can sign for the last 6). It is considered to be one of the most physically and mentally demanding training programs within the Swedish Armed Forces. To be selected to go through this course you first need to pass the ordinary armed forces test, if you Finnish it with good results you may be eligeable to put in an application. When you've done this you may get called to a 3 day selection process where you conduct physical and pshycical tests. At the end of the tests you conduct a marsch with a 65lb (30kg) bergen that will prove if you got the right motivation.[3] The unit recruits commissioned officers from other military units which have to undergo a rigorous selection program and training, culminating in the “Neptuni Marsch”. This test is classified but includes marsching for days with very limited amount of rest, writing tests and shooting. The reward is the Neptuni Treudd which is one of the Swedish Armed Forces special training badges. A candidate can at any time during the training program be separated from the unit and sent home or transferred to other units in case the standards are not met. Injuries are common and injured candidates are frequently given the opportunity to come back the following year, if desired. [edit] International InvolvementKJ have been involved in low intensity conflicts under UN flag notably Kosovo and Bosnia where they served as the intelligence platoon to KFOR primarily working with personal based intelligence gathering. At the KS01 (HUMINT) operation a Coastal Ranger platoon was relieving the Swedish Parachute Rangers. (“HUMINT”)[4] [edit] InsigniaThe unit’s insignia (förbandstecken) is the Neptuni Treudd. This was worn on the green beret but is now worn as a patch on the M/90 field uniform and as a badge on the uniform M/87. The Neptuni Treudd (poseidon trident) can be worn on uniforms in any unit as it is an award for completed training whereas the insignia shows the affiliation to a particular army unit.[edit] Motto“Mod, kraft och spänst” [edit] See also[edit] External links
