Vader has to be one of the best brawlers in my opinion of all time. But he had a few great stints in wrestling history. I was wondering what is everyone's favorite Vader. The WCW version which was Big Van Vader and then WWF's version of Vader TIME!! I personally love the Big Van Vader bad ass gimmick. In the Mick Foley DVD when Foley talks of how Vader was the legit bad ass and told him to really punch him in the face. He had the edge on him in WCW. He didn't get that feel in WWF even though he had a cool feud with Yokozuna which was kind of a fantasy feud of those who watched in the early 90's.

Big Van Vader vs Davey Boy Smith, Slamboree 1993 Match of the  ing year. Vader was sooooooo good at being sooooooo bad in WCW. Perfect monster heel that WWE and TNA and everywhere else have been trying to recreate (and no, Mike Awesome, Abyss, Awesome Kong, Brock Lesnar, Big Show, and Great Khali don't even come close to being on par with Vader). He was fast, talented, almost scary, and just an overall awesome wrestler. |

I most enjoyed Vader's feud with Undertaker or his match with HBK

What about Japan Vader? The Japanese people actually thought he was some sort of mythical creature, he was such a monster over heel. That is where Vader made his name IMO.

Well in WWE he was let's face facts like more than a fat jobber, they took a feared & talented wrestler with a great gimmick and was a quality heel & freaking wasted him. One of the WWE's true mistakes in my mind.
In WCW Vader's push was quality, he was made to look like a total killer, well until Hogan came in & ruined everything but we'll gloss over that.
I actually pefer Vader's run in UWFI, it was pushed as a legit shoot event despite actually being prowrestling & he had some stiff as hell wars with Nobuhiko Takada. If you're a fan of hard hitting shoot style wrestling do yourself a favour & check these matches out.
Vader was incredible, he was a hard hitting 450lber who could hit moonsaults. He wore three titles at the same time, each from different companies, Japan, Euroipe & Mexico and he did this twice.
For my money one of the all time best.

One of the most severely misused guys in WWF history, right with Diamond Dallas Page.
