An easy 9 for me. One of my favorite big men ever. He was agile, intimidating, an easy catchphrase, dope theme, awesome moveset, and had a lot of charisma. I really don't remember any standout promos, but outside of that stupid promo in 98 where he called himself a fat piece of shyt, I don't remember him embarrassing himself either. He was a legend everywhere he went, even though he was stymied in the WWE. He should have ascended to consistent World title matches and reigns, but politics kept that from happening. Hated how he went out in the WWE, losing in a very weak match to a rookie Edge on Sunday Night Heat. Edge even nonchalantly kicked out of Vader's Powerbomb, then hit him with the worst Downward Spiral ever to win in less than 5 minutes. Thankfully that's only a footnote. My best memories of Vader were from 93-97, just being a brutal intimidating force in death matches in Japan, WCW, in standout matches vs Sting, Cactus Jack, HBK, Taker, and teaming with Mankind. 9 year old me really thought he was tearing Ahmed Johnson and Jake The Snake Roberts apart :russ: salute to him :salute:and get well :mjcry:

9 easily

One of if not the best big men to ever step in the ring. Legit monster heel who actually had me fearing for the safety of Sting and Cactus Jack. Legendary career in Japan and WCW, should've been treated as such in the WWF but we all know what happened there. They really missed an opportunity to make a shytload of money had they used him properly. He should've had Brock's booking and destroyed HBK in that match. They could've had a classic feud that would still be talked about to this day. Feuds with Austin, Taker would've been money makers.

Vader only got "fukked over by hbk" because his credibility was diminished so badly in wcw

if he had come in strong, Vince would have forced him to go over like Sid did

8 from me though, Vader always came to play.

Michaels acting like a whiny bytch DURING the match was uncalled for.
