Terrible news. I think it's really disgusting that WWE didn't bother to induct him into the HoF, given how widely known it was that he didn't have much time left. 2 years, and they still didn't honour him.

Sadly, with the news over the last year of his health and the surgeries, this was almost half expected news. Happy to say I was able to meet him once, at an autograph signing. And I still remember, when he came back as part of the Heath Slater vs. the legends storyline. When he got a huge reaction from the crowd, you could see that it really meant a lot to him. There were so many ways he could have been used in WWE, even if it wasn't going to be as a monster main eventer. I always thought, during that time as a team with Mankind, could have been a way to reintroduce Cactus Jack, and bring their WCW feud to WWF. RIP, Big Man, you left a hell of a mark on the wrestling world.

RIP to the legend. Amazing character I grew up loving. The Vadersault still amazes me to this day.

Figure this would be appropriate. Loved their brief run as a team in WCW. The Masters of the Powerbomb!

Horrible,horrible news. One of my all time favorites. It legitamately hurts that he has to be a posthumous hof induction now. I kept saying it, they NEEDED TO INDUCT VADER THE PAST TWO YEARS SO HE COULD BASK IN HIS GLORY WITH HIS FAMILY AND ENJOY WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND WITH THEM...but alas...no.

Man, another one gone. And he wasn't that old either. I believe he was 63, younger than my dad. WWE should be ashamed for not inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame while he was here. Now, without question, they will do the best P.R. move & he will go in next year posthumously. But that will have such a sleazy feel to it. They could and should have put him in while he was alive. They knew he didn't have long left. He made that common knowledge on his Twitter page. WWE. Bunch of scumbags. Vader deserved the Hall of Fame a long time ago. Such a shame he won't be there to accept. RIP. He will be greatly missed. 🙁

This is so sad, WWE really screwed up here, and I'm not just picking on them - Vader inducted Stan Hansen a few years back and for all I know he had a good relationship with WWE, so why didn't they induct him for the last two years?
Vader deserved it and I feel sorry for his family. Another part of my childhood gone.

Damn, that is a sad start to the day.
R.I.P. Vader. He definitely should have went into the HOF. It might be too little, too late but hopefully he goes in next year.
