Thread wasn't burying him, just highlighting how atrocious the WWF were in booking him in comparison to his Japan and WCW runs

How about doing that AND knocking a guy before he gets fired?



I feel like an a$$hole.

All I will say, is that the Vader/Bradshaw match that OP refers to is one of the more underrated and better hoss matches to have happened since 1998.

I don't recognize Vader's WWF run at all. He left WCW, took a sabbatical for a few years and then went to Japan as far as I'm concerned.

1998 was rock bottom for the GOAT big man, but if we’re gonna keep it real, Vader was marked for failure as soon as he showed up and was immediately attached to Cornette.

His WWF run being a bust was close to sealed before they even got into the Summer Slam 1996 program thanks to how everything Cornette touched back then feeling like an overpushed mid-card act.

Vader is the GOAT big man worker. Was a huge Big Van Vader fan in WCW. So his whole WWF run was extremely disappointing. I'm glad he got that last run in AJPW.

him or bam bam

Crazy the timing of this uppage

Been alot of weird uppages lately, one one Kenvin Winslow in the colisuem recently had me tripping; same shyt when I seen this thread and heard he passed thereafter

Shawn sabotaged him but to be fair his style was rough and I can’t blame guys not wanting to get killed by a dude every night

still he could of been booked so much better and seems crazy to me they couldn’t book him as a monster in the attitude era

 

[Wacky D]

vader being one of the faces of WCW up to that point, was another big strike against his name.

I wish he would have called a audible at Summerslam 96 and punched Michaels head off

I'm surprised for as good as a big man Vader was for his time, he didn't get the WWF Title. HBK/HHH's politics fukked up a lot of people's run in WWF.

Vader won a World Title every promotion he was in but got fukked over b/c of backstage politics. Shawn's first title reign should have been done by the summer of '96. Vader wins the title, holds it until SSeries, drops it to Sid.
