R.I.P. Vader
|
easily in my top 5 all time fav workers list. Really nice guy too. One of those rare occasions where when people tell you never meet your heroes and you're not disappointed.
|
It was Vaders Time. RIP.
If they made a live action Sonic movie in the 90s Vader prob would have been Robotnik |
RIP Vader. One of the best.
|
Vader Time is Over :(
RIP. |
Seems he was right about having 2 years left to live :(
|
Nooooooooooo :(
|
Seemed like a totally nice guy. This is sad.
RIP |
Damn, Vader was one of my favorites. First wrestler I ever seen and I thought he was amazing and I've been s wrestling fan since. RIP.
|
I remember legitimately being scared of him as a kid, he played his character well and was one of the big men that I enjoyed watching wrestle.
RIP |
Well he wasnt working us after all.
|
:( RIP
Really great star that I didn't realize until years later since I only saw the stuff from his poor WWF run during his career at the time. |
RIP
|
My favorite Vader matches were with Cactus Jack, Sting, Flair and Stan Hansen. I haven't seen enough of his Japanese stuff to know the full level of stardom he made it to there but everything I have seen was fantastic and he was truly a beast.
|
If you think about it you can name more great matches that Vader had than Bret Hart.
|
Easily.
|
Vader fucking ruled :(
|
The Vader vs Sting matches are incredible. Very sad to hear. R.I.P Vader.
|
When I was a kid, Vader was the only heel I was genuinely worried about beating my favorites. I was a WWF mark first and foremost and I always felt like Hogan would always win in the end but when Sting faced Vader, I was scared shitless.
|
RIP
|
RIP you fat piece of shit
|
RIP. Always loved as a kid when I would come across some old Vader matches in WCW.
Also, "The Mastadon" one of the most badass rassling nicknames ever. |

One of the most legit bad ass looking and athletically gifted big men in the industry.
Always felt like he was truly underrated and underappreciated by most, including a lot of the folks in charge in WWE and WCW. |
RIP Vader.

He was the man. :( |
This hits close to me and opens my eyes because i read he had CHF and i have CHF also. I loved Vader, but the first big man i became enamored with was Undertaker. Still love Vader. though. RIP Vader.

KEN! EASE UP!
|
lol Vader could not move for days after that match. Shamrock thought Vader was trying to double cross him.
|
I've just found out about his passing. :(
R.I.P |
I have said it a few times over the years, but even in his last couple years with health problems and the like, I still would not have wanted to run into Vader in a dark alley anywhere. A legitimately scary, tough dude.
|
Sucks that he just had heart surgery a month ago and it didnt help in the end. R.I.P. Vader
|
My first introduction to Vader was his match with Stan Hanson at wrestle war 1991.
I was in awe of his agility. A man of his size moving like he did was just awesome to watch. Rest in peace Vader. |
R.I.P.
|
So he died of Pneumonia.
Fuck man. I had Pneumonia but i wasnt his age obviously. |
I've had Pneumonia twice. It's not good. I'm lucky. But i'm young.
