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 |

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.

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.

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. Always loved as a kid when I would come across some old Vader matches in WCW.

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. |

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.

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.

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. |
