Leon White, better known as Big Van Vader, was a special athlete. He looked like a monster but was capable of delivering graceful high flying moves, and his intimidating presence made him a star wherever he traveled to. He worked stiff, as many of his opponents would find out. With this in mind, old school wrestling fans have a special place for Vader. He was entertaining for sure. A career than spanned over 30 years saw Vader reach some dizzying highs in NJPW and WCW along with some extreme lows, but when all is said and done, Vader was a success in the wrestling business, even if he didn't ever win the Heavyweight Championship in Vince McMahons WWE. This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios looks at Vader's introduction and education in wrestling during his time in the AWA, his rivalry with Stan Hansen, his work in NJPW and the infamous Antonio Inoki match, his return to the USA to work for Ted Turner's WCW, his debut at the WWF Royal Rumble 1996, his feud and match with Shawn Michaels at Summerslam 96, and his slow decline in the WWE that resulted in him asking for his release. As mentioned in the video, here is Vader on the international TV show, causing a scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJf1Bgfzx-U #wwe #documentary #wrestling
