Vader was definitely the best bigman of wrestling History. Biggelow and Mike awesome may they rest in peace. . ..were both very agile as well. But Vaders combination of Raw power, agility and suplexes made him the definite top runner of the Big men.
He had some seriously stiff chokeslams, powerbombs and suplexes.
And the Fact that he could Dropkick and Moonsault, given his size was nothing short of Amazing.
YO HOLD UP! He's REALLY fucking these mothafuckers up!!! This shit ain't staged. Some of the way those guys are hitting the mat you can't fake! LORD HAVE MERCY VADER WAS A BEAST!
@bcushing three words.... crybaby-shawn-michaels. Vader once told a story that shawn told him during a match that if Vader did'nt take it easy Shawn would "make a phone call" and get him fired.
You're right there mate, Vader was stiff as fuck. He made his name in Japan, if you aren't battering each other out there you get booed out of the building.
i love and miss this fucking stuff. my dad used to get me bootlegs from a guy he worked with in the early 90s and have all this priceless footage that really makes me glad im a fan thanks for putting it up
DAMN hes so god and athletic and i know wrestlin is "fake" but it loks so painfull when vader does the moves hes awsome (sorry for bad english/spelling im swedish)
Did I miss an insane Warrior commentary? Man, I'm really slipping. Let me guess. He used the fact that he was one of the finalists to play Big Van Vader to bring up the mastadon and comment on how he headlined one of the greatest Wrestlemanias of all time or some such hogwash. How bad did he actually crap on Vader though?
Vader deserved a WWF Title reign a lot more than lumps like Sid and Batista and was definitely a more impressive and impactful big man than the late Yokozuna.
Yes. he basically went on a rant saying if he was the Vader character he would have been nowhere near successful and that Vader (not him) ended up having nowhere near the career he did (which is insane, Vader is basically one of the most successful monsters in all of Japan and the united states). I forget which one of his 'Ultimate Warrior shoot interviews' (it's on youtube) it's one of the parts of it he says it.
lol give me a break.. Warrior has 1 world title to his credit, and how many does Vader have? Go to Japan, Mexico, US, Europe.. pretty much anywhere in the world and people would recognize Vader because he was champion everywhere he went. Warrior cannot make the same claim.
RIP Big Van Vader...damn this video was good until the the song started to actually have a singer... oo hate how they get away with screaming.. talented instrumental.. horrible singing.. yes Its my opinion.. I know.. but it an opinion that is shared by most people
Definitely didn't. He's actually signed to a Legends Contract with WWE, which means he does periodic tv appearances and signings. Shows up every once and while on independent shows too.
@dadankness Maybe some but not most i like it. Some people just like regular singing in their metal that is cool too. With all the fans five finger death punch have i think Ivan has a singing voice that is liked by many.
As a kid he was awesome to watch. As a big man was much more agile than King Kong Bundy or the likes of Earthquake or Tug Boat. He had a bit of a real tempor and a likeness of really hurting his opponents rather than protecting them which kept him from going further in his career but he is still one of the greats.
The only major title Vader didn't win in his era was the WWF title pretty much...there's not much further you can go in your career than what Vader has accomplished.. maybe in terms of longevity in a single federation he wasn't successful, but everywhere he went for the short time he was there he was champion at some point.
Yep I agree completely on Sid as well, tremendous athlete, I hope, the rumours of his return to WWE are true, even if he is getting on a bit, I'd rather see an aging Sid than over 90% of the WWE's current roster.
Another big man that I thought was really good was Mike Awesome. Probably not a true "big man" by our definition, but definitely a talented guy. Damn shame he's gone :(
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. BUT I LOVE MY MOM SO I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.If you don't copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours. (sorry)
I agree with blachubear, Vader is one of the best professional wrestlers of all time, hands down. He is most certainly the best "big man" of all time, although Bam Bam Bigelow gave him a run for his money.
Todays big men (Mark Henry and Khali specifically) could learn a thing or two from Leon White.
itz amazing that u managed to get clips of sum1 so old. It's great, i was nvr much of a fan of big van vader but u've managed to affect my opinion lol. & i saw him do a moonsault in ur trib & i was like holy shit lol. Anyway loved how u ended 5/5
