April 8, 1996. Vader destroys Yokozuna with three devastating Vader Bombs, winning by decision at Monday Night Raw. A new monster had arrived in the WWF, and a coronation seemed imminent. Just two years later, that same monster would be reduced to a jobber, losing his mask and his dignity to Kane. This is the story of how one of wrestling's greatest super-heavyweights—a 12-time World Champion across NJPW, WCW, and more—never held a single title in the WWF. IN THIS VIDEO: - Vader's legendary career in Japan and WCW - The perfect debut and the fatal SummerSlam '96 loss - Jim Cornette's critique of WWF's booking failures - Vince McMahon's pattern of burying outside stars - The Attitude Era's shift away from traditional monsters - The devastating mask vs. mask loss to Kane - Why Vader immediately won gold again after leaving WWF From riot-inducing debuts in Japan to three-time IWGP Champion. From shattering Sting's ribs to WCW World Champion. From the most feared man in wrestling to "maybe Vader time is over." Leon "Vader" White was a monster. But Vince McMahon had the shovel. --- #Vader #WWF #VinceMcMahon #ShawnMichaels #AttitudeEra #JimCornette
