[sanddune]

Too bad WWF screwed up on Vader.

[PhilipK100]

I'd love to be able to find it but wasn't there a British Bulldog VS Vader match in WCW - which ended with Sid Justice and Sting getting involved at the very end? I saw it on ITV as a wee kid in the 90's. It'd be nice if someone was able to upload the match to youtube :)

[cub35guy]

2:52 - Amazing to watch Bagwell's body jolt on the mat after the brutal splash. and then to see him lying motionless is the topper.

[lavagroove]

Big Van Vader is truly terrifying but awesome.

[vashna3799]

Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse Ventura , greatest wrestling commentating team ever, no one comes close to those two, though nearly everyone as copied them

[rtfuhj]

[TheBillionDollarboy9]

LMFAO buy buy rookie so long rookie

[1MoreRoundbrother]

Good Night Ladies' reference ftw

[4fear4hunger4pride]

Wrestling today really needs a quality 350+ monster. Vader, Bam Bam, Gorilla FTW

[JakeT7]

Boy oh boy that is pretty boy!

[everstijn75]

Marcus Alexander Bagwell at his most beautiful. I will never forget watching him during this period as a kid. He was one of my first, if you know what I mean.

[rpstanton84]

Vader is the toughest ginger in the world !

[Inediblehulk]

Whoa. Sting hit Vader so hard the VCR felt it!

[Otouto72]

Bye Bye Rookie! So Long Rookie! Love Jesse Ventura!

[kepsfacebook2]

Lol at Sting's haircut.

[devilhead66613]

[endofsuffering83]

Awesome ending!

[BillieStingJean]

I remember WCW on ITV on saturday Afternoons! FUCK BRINGS BACK MEMORIES... I Remember especially the credits for da commercialS!

[transamguy78]

vader one mean mfer! buff is the stuff! lol

[kdragon18]

Bye bye rookie...so long rookie!

[dansaun77]

Vader toughest hahaha??? Orndorff smashed the fuck out of him in July 1995 in the WCW locker room

[GeeeRiff]

@dansaun77 well its scripted ?

[Vipered]

@GeeeRiff

Paul Orndorff really did beat Vadar up backstage, it was a real fight. Orndorff also only had one arm and was wearing flip flops when he did it.

[awoodward60]

Bagwell was an entertaining wrestler, but he was no match for Vader. Vader was the MAN! I take great pleasure seeing him do that awesome choke slam on Bagwell at the end of the match!

[nelrazor1]

Frightening choke-slam from Vader on Bagwell, and then what a beautiful missile dropkick on Vader from Sting...

I wish I could watch this stuff all over again every week. Beats the crap off TNA and WWE.

[ColorsBright]

I remember seeing Vader when I was a kid and thinking "f*ck DEAD"

[jrm111881]

does anybody know when this match took place?

[gtz1975]

Wow Sting hit Vader so hard that it fucked up the picture! 4:23

[cub35guy]

nice seeing the old mark bagwell. destroyed mid-mat. His body, clearly hurt after that big splash. Bagwell needs to be piledrived.

[IH8WRONGPPL]

It's like watching a dude with a bondage mask vs 3 gay surfers.

[Devilsfan123]

Then why are you watching a wrestling video?

[gtz1975]

You tell VADER that his mask looks likes a 'bondage mask' and see HOW long YOU will last!

[Ghalion99]

bagwell is so hot

[795re]

Yes he is! This was back in the days when Marcus Alexander Bagwell was also known as the "Pretty Boy Redneck"!! And you could see why. He was the hottest muscle boy jobber. Bigger wrestlers used to squash him all the time. Thank God Vader did not eat him!

[siccbeast]

WCW probably could have survive with the return of Vader. Vader would have smacked around Bagwell again & take care of Goldberg'z no sellin'.

[wtcvidman]

@siccbeast

I agree. Vader is probably the toughest legit wrestler there was. The guy wrestled when his eye popped out of its socket. A true ring monster. He would bulldoze over guys like Goldberg, Lesnar, or any other pretender without any problem. What WWF did with him was a mockery. He could have legitimately destroyed every wrestler they had there if he wanted to.

Man, I would loved to have seen a Vader-Dynamite Kid match. DK was another extremely & legitimately tough wrestler.

[JPThunder01]

@wtcvidman Dynamite would have been squashed in that match lol.. he'd bounce off Vader trying to drop kick him.. unless it was in the WWF.. then he'd somehow get the snap suplex on him and pin him

[wtcvidman]

@JPThunder01

In WCW I think Dynamite would get squashed. Then again Davey Boy pinned Vader in WCW at least once that I saw (with a crucifix) but it was a non title match or perhaps that tag match at Beach Blast when Sting was his partner. I know they had at least 3 matches---one at Slamboree, one at the August 93 Clash, and one on Worldwide that I have on tape. But I wonder what would've happened in a shoot style match between Vader & Dynamite.

[abretolo9]

@wtcvidman Please... He had his ass handed to him by an aging Paul Orndorff in a backstage altercation.

[wtcvidman]

@abretolo9

We don't know the details of that altercation, like if Orndorff got the first shot unexpectedly. Then again, Orndorff himself is a tough guy. I won't say that Vader is overrated based on a backstage event. I'd have to see a shoot match between the 2.

[FuturePBABowler]

Buff before he got big(literally and figuratively lol).

[795re]

Damn it looked like Vader was tossing around a little ken doll. Buff Bagwell was just a little ken doll compared to Vader!!

[foolish1193]

Did you see the ref shaking his head saying "Kid, you just got your ass handed to you."

[hulksmad]

one more thing it look like Vader was working with a jobber!

[hulksmad]

This was back when Buff was still trying to earn a paycheck and Vader stole the show into Biscoff hired marks Like Steiner and Hogan!

[sonny4425]

Ah..when wrestling was still good...Miss it.

[nptonguy]

I didn't get to see this match until recently. It was the first time WCW Worldwide aired in the UK on ITV on Saturday afternoon (They'd just stopped airing WCW Pro late night during the week) and it was titled as "wrestling" in the paper so I didn't know it was WCW.

Anybody know where I can get the theme Vader was using at the time? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[studstable09]

Thats what u call a real chokeslam.

[superdrum3]

1:57 That is one mean chokeslam

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

Jesse makes me laugh; Bye-bye, rookie; so long, rookie!!!

[kobrien1981uk]

First match that I ever watched. Sting was my hero from this day.

[tairanman]

im guessing it was on ITV on a saturday afternoon early 1992 right?

this is the first time i saw Sting too,ive been a big fan ever since,ive been looking for this match everywhere,oh man the memories!

[RNCoyote]

WCW Worldwide was on ABC syndicate back then. On TBS there was WCW Pro and Saturday Day.

[tairanman]

i live in England,we were about 1 month behind u guys,although i did visit Texas in summer 1992 where i used to watch WCW on saturdays around 9am in the morning,i cant remember the channel though.

[NAYellowjackets]

@RNCoyote In Augusta,Ga area Worldwide was always on the Fox affiliate.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

@NAYellowjackets I think at that time, it was on the ABC affiliate.

[thedude19766]

@RNCoyote LOL WCW on ABC Sports

[nelrazor1]

@tairanman Word for word what I was going to post! Yup, Saturday mornings on ITV I've been a lil Stinger since too! :)

[lsufanbr]

Jesse Ventura is great at calling this match. He is right up there with Heenan & Lawler in terms of heel announcers.

[Gamebox27]

Heenan & Lawler are right up there with Jesse, one of the first heel commentators - something WWE needs to bring back.

[ColorsBright]

@Gamebox27 Not possible.... mean people would hurt the little kids feelings.

[wtcvidman]

@Gamebox27

Ventura is my favorite commentator (out of the face & heel commentators). Other great heel commentators I like are Heenan, Curt Hennig, and Rick Rude in ECW. Though Rude started off in ECW as a face commentator & turned heel. Three out of those 4 are from Minnesota. I guess there's something about that state that produces good commentators (and wrestlers), LOL. Scott Hall when he was in the nWo & sober was also pretty good as a heel commentator when the nWo took over the booth.

[Chuzzy5020]

@Gamebox27 You jinxed us, now we have to put up with Michael Cole >_< haha

[hulksterdude28]

@Gamebox27 Michael Cole?
