Luc Poirier (born January 9, 1962) is a retired Canadian professional wrestler, better known under the name Rambo.
Before entering the world of wrestling, Poirier started training for shot put and discus as early as the age of 14 years old. His dedication and athletic abilities allowed him to become Canadian Junior discus throw champion.
Poirier was trained by Edouard Carpentier and Louis Laurence and debuted in 1982. In the early 1980s, he joined the Montreal-based International Wrestling Association as a masked hooded wrestler and was known as " The Masked Marvel". Poirier wrestled as a face until October 1984, when he turned heel and changed his name to "The Mercenary". Shortly after turning heel, Poirier was unmasked by Gino Brito.
From January 1985 to June 1985 Poirier wrestled at World Wrestling Federation house shows in Eastern Canada as a jobber. He also wrestled several try-out matches on Canadian television, but was not hired by the WWF. During this time, Poirier wrestled on a taping for WWF Superstars against Bret Hart in a scientific masterpiece in which Bret Hart was victorious.
Poirier went on to wrestle in Europe as "Rocky Montana", and in Europe and Japan as "Rambo". He achieved his greatest success under the later ring name in the Catch Wrestling Association. In the CWA, Poirier began a feud with Bull Power, and on July 6, 1991 in Graz, Austria he defeated Bull Power for the CWA Heavyweight Championship. His reign lasted until December 19, 1992, when he lost to Road Warrior Hawk in Bremen, Germany. Poirier regained the title on July 3, 1993 in Graz, and held the title for three years before finally losing to Ludvig Borga in July 1996. Poirier regained the title from Borga on December 21, 1996 in Bremen, and held the title until July 5, 1997, when he vacated it.
