loved his cameos on Boy Meets World.

Also, enjoyed him during my 90's WWF life.

Vince and WWE needs its ass kicked for not putting him in the HoF knowing his health was so bad. Vader was the man. The best big man do ever do it. Way ahead of his time

I agree. He should've been in the HOF a long time ago.

Impressive athlete for a man his size. It pisses me off that Vince used him as a joke after he had a legendary run in New Japan Pro Wrestling and his run in WCW, where he won the World Heavyweight Championship on three occasions. He deserves to be in the HOF, and I hope it happens in 2019.

RIP Big Van Vader

Forget the HoF.

Vince and Vince and Shawn Michaels need their ass kicked for the way they shit all over him when he worked there, as evidence by the clip that was just shown by podsox.

Yeah he was def done wrong.

The Something to Wrestle With podcast did a whole thing on Vader. He was done dirty, but he also got hurt a few times (supposedly) before some pushes.

He is on the list(at least mine) of top 5 bigman at 3.

He was fucked over by the WWE and continues to be to this day. I always think that it was payback to WCW for takong Savage/ Hogan and krew.

My thoughts and Prayers are with Frankie and the whole Stecchino family.





Seriously though, prayers to his family.

Vader was legit scary to watch go to the ring. He just looked like he could destroy anyone in his way.

Couple of things went wrong for Vader in the WWF.

1.) He was signed in 1996, which was the same time in which Shawn Michaels' ego was out of control. He also had the infamous blown spot at Summerslam '96, which pissed HBK off to no end.
2.) He was also pretty stiff in the ring. Being stiff isn't a problem in Japan or even pre-Hogan WCW, but HBK and Bret hated working with Vader because of it. When the two biggest stars in the promotion aren't fond of you, then that is going to put a limit on your potential.
3.) The company wanted him to lose weight and in response, Vader gained weight. Not a good look.

I can promise you it had nothing to do with getting payback on WCW. That wouldn't even make sense.
