Kane vs Vader 5/31/98 (2/2)

[Tarklovishki]

A man of Vader's size could pull off a moonsault? What demon did he sell his soul to, to pull that one off?

[peterp21]

Anyone know where WWF was planning to go with this? I hate angles where the guy buries himself. It does nothing for them unless the fed books him to come back with a serious vengeance later. Knowing what a petty little man VKM is, he just felt like humiliating Vader. BTW, WTF is with the mask stipulation? Vader removed that "mask" in 90% of his matches. Was this just Russo's usual goofy booking?

[BigLad386]

@peterp21 I think it was more of a "He's never taken it off in WWF" kinda crack. But I dunno.

[jonholloman]

good days, when wresling was uncensored

[bigmike4758]

was what he said in the post-fight interview part of the show??

[athleticfan33]

This was so stupid. Vader has been unmasked many times. Even once in wwe at Final Four In Your House. Although, to be fair, he was gushing blood and we could barely see his face but still, they shouldn't make this look like a first time thing.

[itsddashrock]

Wait Vader did a moonsault? What sorcery is this?

[iamshalomguy]

whats the point of having a mask vs mask with Vader losing i mean we can clearly see his face with or without the mask

[FamousMovieScenes09]

Lol Kane cocking his head and looking at Paul when he's dancing

[ieatmommy]

Kane was the BOSS he had some Muscles :D now hes just a bit fatter O.o not to be mean

[Tuscuttar]

2:40 WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE

[phelps12471]

A big fat piece of shit! lol

[Buckeyecat2002]

The Big Red Monster VS the Big Red Mastadon.

[hquebrown]

was this a mask match

[homerofifa]

... KANE didn't even cover Vader...

[EXPERTgamer262]

The first time i ever see vader fight and he gets unmasked............

[CameronHuff31]

@EXPERTgamer262 This is the third time I've seen vader unmasked.

[TEDGY01]

1:40-1:54 loollllll

[turfmoormonkey]

apparently Vader never washed any of his gear. Thats the reason he never got the push he truly deserved. It was'nt about technique or 'being over' or fate or the stars were'nt aligned right or anything else other than that he was a smelly bastard. Vince's patience had grown thin long before this PPV. If you don't smell right, you're not gonna make it in this game, this being the prime example. All in all its was Vaders owndoing that was the catalyst for his undooing. shame, the smelly fucker

[desecrator1000]

@turfmoormonkey where did u get this info about vader being a smelly bastard from? i dont doubt it, sounds legit, just would like to see it myself

[MrMonsterKane]

The Big Red Machine

Monster Kane Rulezzz

[RamboA17]

I'M A BIG FAT PIECE OF SHIT! *slaps microphone*

Vader ruled

[1919dpg]

where's the mistery.. you could clearly see vaders face with the mask anyway

[HSBCHBOS]

Kane was much stronger in those days.

[RAGSTAluvsDA90z]

vader always shown his face as vader

[yewtubemike]

it's paul bearer time!!!

[zingzingarrow123]

i wonder why everybody keep sayin they want the masked kane after all it didnt make him better or anything if anything i think they should put him back in his vicious streak

[dj139314]

I now why kane is how he is now because he wanted to take off the mask so wwe let him do so..... And Kane is not this size no more is because he tore his biceps back in 2001 and when he came back in 2002 he became really small but fast you can look up videos to see the difference but I still miss this kane so bad!!!!

[glentaker]

why would paul put on that mask, it must stink as hell

[ObakePoyo]

Watching the end kinda makes me sad. Vader was such a good wrestler and so athletic for his size, I mean the fucking moonsault was one of his finishers! He had such a bright future, then he went to WWF and they fucked him over,just turned him into a jobber.

Don't get me wrong, I love the WWF/E and Kane (one of my fave wrestlers) I'm just upset at what they did to Vader. I don't even think he won any titles in the WWF, did he?

[DubX666]

@ObakePoyo Vader was WCW World Heavyweight Champ and WWF made him a jobber. Kind of like Christian and R-Truth, 2 former NWA World Champions and WWE doesn't even give them good pushes, Christian got a slightly good push, then they made him drop the title

[Dragonxsolo]

@ObakePoyo too bad that they are doing the same with kane nowadays D:

[chicovill305]

Michael Cole stills looks like a Geek.

[SomethingRules]

@chicovill305 He's covered wars, you know.

[TheJmp187]

Vader was pissed he had to insult himself over this

[girlgarde]

@TheJmp187 Yeah. You could tell he was heartbroken at his defeat and pissed at himself for not being able to win. I know I'd be too in his position but then I'd take my anger out on every opponent I faced afterwards.

[Batistamaniac1]

Vader was WCW Champion 3 times....For him to not win a championship in WWE to me is a huge insult.

[taco398]

swearin in wrestlin those were the days

[mattd687]

I think it was funny how the announcers were disgusted by Vader's face and he had no makeup on. It was Leon's actual face. Funny, but also slightly disrespectful.

[ORENJiiRONOKUMA]

Vader was my fave I miss that guy

[ShadowAbsol65]

paul bearers future catchphrase - Its time, oh yes its time, ITS PAUL BEARER TIME!

[TXL0ngh0rn]

ROFL@ 3:32.

[Cannibal600]

It's Paul Bearer time LMAO!!!

[patsman191]

Shawn Micheals was a prick he was billed to lose the title to Vader but he bitched like always had him and his little but buddy Triple H cryed about how unfair it was and they let him keep the title.

[Sadurdead7]

vader suks kane was a world federation champion i love kane

[Miah85]

Oh Paul lol

[mopeow]

it vader time

[KpEMuKoBcu]

It's Paul Bearer time!

[shadad07]

gad dame this kane look so huge back then!! what these people feed em n WWE !?

[evilfreddy2006]

This was Vaders last match wasn't it?

[navtrd]

@evilfreddy2006 no vader had a few more fights he took on bradshaw at breakdown september 1998 were he also lost.

[2damgud]

The biggest moonsault in the world is bad an Paul bearer is a angin cunt

[takkubell]

AHAHA .. PAUL BEARER U FAT BASTARD...

[stickman51]

Im glad Kane is better at the Tombstone nowadays

[liamevans1987]

they say kane going air born is unreal but what a moonsalt by vader when it hits its mark beware!!... aso thumbs up if u agree that vader is NOT a big piece of shit!

poor guy =(

[DrOwenJRooney]

fat piece of shit or not vader over cena any day of the year

[FuseWrestlingEfed]

You people need to understand... Kane is claustrophobic, he hated to wear the mask for long periods at a time, but i do agree if the wwe needs kane to put on his mask... calebdavidwyatt's(^) idea would be good, but it would have to be a facial injury

[HotBoy147]

@FuseWrestlingEfed I think the mask was effecting his breathing. Thats why they redesigned the mask with a bigger mouth opening making it easier for him to breath. But it didn't work so they allowed Kane to wrestle without it.

[starzilla83]

kane is like unstopble

[MaskOFKane]

+1 lehendkillerpunt i too want that :(

[dahak2006]

poor vader

[RSMarley]

Paul at 1:35 bis 1:55

[bigfdz1]

I did not know Kane was that big and strong

[RSMarley]

Paul at 1:55

[mitch49333]

Kane's power is unreal. To be able to tombstone Vader and not kill him.... unbelievable.

[mothercanuckers]

@wwefan1012010 Your a WWE fan yet you point out stupid sh*t like that that's pretty damn sad

[wwefan1012010]

lol at 0:50 failure!!

[jwhittle91]

vader is really big but he's athletic!

[coldplayfanable]

@jwhittle91 wat would kane look like if he lost this macth would he look the same in 2003 wen he unmasked or something different

[Funnysterste]

i want this vader back

[DanchElmore]

I remember this when vader was upset and called himself a fat piece of shit...Vader was awesome!!

[mnabilu]

@DanchElmore I also remember he said that he would flush himself down the toilet... (I know you posted this comment 1 year ago)

[DanchElmore]

@mnabilu oh yeah I almost forgot about that ...classic

[KANE15151H]

AWESOME DUDE

[RustySacks]

paul bearer you piece of shit!

[DanchElmore]

@RustySacks lol

[RustySacks]

@DanchElmore IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMNIT!

[DanchElmore]

@RustySacks i said the same thing .i was like paul bearer you peice of shit because he was wearing the Vader mask..and then i saw your comment and started crackin up

[RustySacks]

@DanchElmore haha glad to hear it

[psnStarzNBarz]

hahah the way he slaps the mic outta michael coles hand is funny as hell! hhahaha

[RisenDevilz]

and contrary to popular belief he (Leon Vader White) went to Japan after takeing some time off and completly DOMINATED the sport there.

[driller007]

vader doing a moonsault in unbelievable. kane tombstoning him, similar

i remember him screaming im a fat shit into the camera. he never did anything after this. he was jobed out of fueds to edge and mark henry. he did return in 2005 but in one segment fell off the apron which was very humiliating

[JPThunder01]

@driller007 After his WWF stint, Vader left in 1998 for Japan where he was still respected and used properly. He quickly won the triple crown title twice in All Japan Pro Wrestling, won a champion carnival, went to NOAH when Misawa and company split from AJPW and won the tag team titles there.. so he made somewhat of a comeback after his WWF career.. it's just his image in North America was tarnished because of the WWF.

[driller007]

@JPThunder01 isee, good info

[HotBoy147]

@JPThunder01 Agreed. Vader was feared in WCW. Dude was bad. But in the WWF he was made out to be a joke thanks to Shawn Michaels, prick.

[patsman191]

@HotBoy147 Shawn Micheals screwed alot of peoples wwf careers up there is so many careers that Shawn Micheals and his little Kliq screwed up and they thought it was funny. Shawn Micheals on the hallf of his hall of fame should thank his Kliq for making him the man he was.

[vcuhustlah]

yo vader does not weigh 450

[RustySacks]

@vcuhustlah kayfabe weight

[vcuhustlah]

@RustySacks tru dat i was jus freakin out lol jus like crash holly?? lol

[RustySacks]

@vcuhustlah what do you mean? im pretty sure crash was 400 haha jk!

Vader said in an interview in '98 was he was around 400 when he got to the WWF/E. After Summer Slam '96 (where he faced Shawn) he worked out and got down to 355.

[vcuhustlah]

@RustySacks nice nice but yea he used to say that nd he had da scale with him

[RustySacks]

@vcuhustlah Vader brought a scale out to the ring??

[NickMillerVidz]

did anybody else think this match was pointless as hell becides me. vader only took his mask off in almost every dam match he was in before this! it was so obvious kane was gonna win this match.

[Royberg]

well he was right about one thing...vader time was pretty much over after this. vader was then reduced to jobber status and then left the company

[RepublicanNatio]

TOMBSTONED STRAIGHT TO HELL!

[Anthony4x4]

man i remember THIS Kane! when he first came on the scene he was one bad mother fucker!! after getting rid of the mask later on he seemed to have lost his edge.i mean i still like Kane,but when you saw the attitude era Kane,it was like "man this is one bad sumbitch" lol...as for vader,i liked his early wcw work but not his wwf days

[WH012]

lol Kane! nobody could mess with Kane in these days. Kane was much more interesting and mysterious when he didnt talk, and let paul talk for him.

[Undead117]

great quality

[Shaunmccall101]

Did Vader take time off and get repackaged?

[Shaunmccall101]

It's not like Vader had his whole face covered so idk how this match worked too much

[atmsk804]

lol because vaders mask covered so much of his face

[phon084]

karma a bitch kane unmask vader then triple h unmask kane and kane never been same since lol

[RepublicanNatio]

TOMBSTONED STRAIGHT TO HELL!

[mdfu]

Classic promo by Big Van LMFAO

[AWF105]

VADER for Hall of Fame

[calebdavidwyatt]

kane sould get injured for a year and return masked

[volcane2004]

@calebdavidwyatt I wouldn't say he would need to get injured.... More like buried alive.

[Legometallica09]

@calebdavidwyatt or get the injurie undertaker had in around 95'

[KVC1989KB]

For real, make up a sick storyline and say that Kane pyschologically was going through something which happend which lead to him masking himself again, I dunno anything. They can do it.

[ALEXxsandez]

@calebdavidwyatt what at his age . no chance

[ibrahim12345isl]

@calebdavidwyatt we know how he looks anyway

[sawrated18]

1:40 roflo!!!!!!!! "ITS TIME ITS TIME ITS PAUL BEARER TIME!" HAHAHHA

[kanemaximus]

did vader retire after that ?

[EricV1]

Nah, but he went on to serve as a jobber for rookies and up and coming heels. He was then released because he didn't lose the weight they wanted him to.

[bgreen2003]

na he started being bradshaw's bitch

[legendkillerpunt]

I want this kane back so badly

[maurice62287]

@legendkillerpunt me too..this Kane was poppin..

[tanaj10]

@legendkillerpunt i miss this kane so much! (sheds a tear) THEY JUST HAD TO TAKE AWAY THE MASK DIDNT THEY?

[mrchopper]

@tanaj10 It was Kane's choice.

[tanaj10]

@mrchopper well, if it was, it was kind of a bad choice. once it was off and he was bald, he kinda looked like he was a jobber, so they made him into one.

[mrchopper]

@tanaj10 "I think it was time. We had gone as far as we could go with the character under the mask. I actually felt the mask was limiting my ability to do some things. For years, to portray emotion I had to do it with my body. I never could do it with my face as the other superstars were able to. So, it added another dimension."

[geodaoriginal]

Thats the Kane I Was A Fan Off, That Kane Kicked Ass!!!!!!!!!!1
