RIP Vader. One of the coolest characters and one of the best big men ever.

I remember for years he kept getting surgery and they said he’d only make it so and so months or a year and he just kept pushing through it. I guess there was only so much fighting he could do. 😔

This is so sad. I always thought he was a cool character (extremely intimidating). Wish I had met him the past two times I was at Wrestlecon but my stupid OCD said "Wait till you get a figure of his for him to sign." Sad I missed that chance. RIP Vader.

Vader was the man in WCW in the early 90s. He was so far ahead of his time for the wrestling world. He was what Brock Lesnar is today in WWE, an unstoppable force that you thought was killing his opponents.
R.I.P. Vader!

Terrible loss for both the industry and us old school fans. IMO the best big man to ever grace the square circle. RIP Vader. Like Codyverse: Tag Team Champion said it will always be VADER TIME!

Horrible,horrible news. One of my all time favorites. It legitamately hurts that he has to be a posthumous hof induction now.

This is why fans were pushing to get him in the HOF. Now he has to go in posthumously and that's just a half empty honor. I'm sure his family and fans will appreciate it but nobody would have appreciated it more than Vader.
Rest easy big man.

Very sad to hear. He gave a lot to the business.

A real travesty that WWE did not induct him into the Hall of Fame while he was alive.
RIP Big Guy.

one of the absolute best big men in the history of the business. was a force in Japan and wcw, his wwf run was largely mishandled by the New York goobers.
he seemed like someone who was very happy about how he’d spend his life and his career.
rip Vader!

Selfishly, I had the opportunity to meet him at a signing recently, and passed on him because I just didn't have anything for him to sign. I found an action figure of his earlier that day, but the box was a bit beat up, and I almost got it, but hoped I would find one in better condition in the future. I did the same when I passed on meeting Doink, Chyna, and others. R.I.P. Vader

Such a shame.
He was fighting his health issues for a long time.
I actually am mad at WWE for not putting him in the hall of fame. So ridiculous.
He will go down as the best big man ever.
