RIP Big Van Vader

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Truly a part of our wrestling childhood is gone today

I was so geeked when this happened in 2012. Can't believe he was 57 then

They knew this dude had a short time frame of life left but no let's put in fukking Beth Phoenix, Kid Rock, and dedicate 45 mins every year to Ultimate Warrior's wife instead of inducting Vader.

R.I.P to one of the GOAT big men in wrestling. Was a frightening heel in those early 90's WCW days with an arsenal of frightening maneuvers to back it up. Vader bomb, powerbomb, moonsault, chokeslam, the mauling in the corner, etc. That mastodon mask That WCW themeThe first gaijin IWGP heavyweight champion, Inoki putting him over was huge and also took one of the GOAT German suplexes


Damn shame how he got booked during the tail end of his WWF career. Glad he got a chance to redeem himself when he went to All Japan. He should have BEEN in the HOF. R.I.P Vader

The fact that the fans knew exactly who he was too. Vader was actually more well known than a lot of people would realize, I still remember his episode of Boy Meets World playing Frankie's dad and letting Shawn & Corey walk him to the ring.

RIP Vader.

It'll always be Vader time

Love that he got that last pay day against Ospreay. AND he went over

All through the WWE instagram post, folks are shaming them for not having him in the HOF already

Came here to post this, people who didn’t watch wcw in the early nineties won’t get it. He was an absolute beast of a man who was agile and could come off the top rope. His powerbomb made people quit the business.

RIP Mick Foleys ea.....


RIP to Vader, so far ahead of his time
