it was not his whole thing he was also about never washing his ring gear and also putting his singlet on backwards sometimes (due to the stank?)

It was like wrestling with a cement truck filled with barf. (Laughs) He was stiff and really the sh*ts to work with as far as… he was no fun. He hurt you constantly. Every punch or kick. I can remember he did a belly flop on me one time. He told me he could do it safe and not hurt me or whatever. My body felt violated. Four hundred pounds of blob just slapped my whole body. I was numb after the match. I remember feeling violated. He was really stiff. He stunk. He smelled like throw up. He never washed his gear. I guess he washed it every once in awhile. After a couple of weeks on the road with Vader it was just tough working with him. He was maybe one of the stiffest and smelliest guys I ever had to wrestle.

vader is one of my favourites of all time btw. not for these reasons

Vader looked like he would hit people insanely hard and also smell insanely bad so he was just doing his gimmick right

yeah vader was apparently like the nicest dude ever off-camera so nobody could really hate him for it, but in the ring he just entered DEATH MODE

Wasn't the Vader story that when he got brought to New Japan, he was taught bad habits by Inoki about just stiffing the gently caress out of people?

You can even see him checking on him almost immediately

Never heard this but given Inoki's love of making things look shooty, it's plausible


Vader is very much one of those guys where virtually half the business has a story about him. My favorite though is the one where Boulder, CO cops had a standoff with him where he kept telling them he was just looking for bullfrogs (he was publicly intoxicated) and when things escalated, he stared down a police dog and it backed down.

I also love a Sitout Crucifix bomb, this would be such a better finisher for Roman but I doubt he could do it to guys like Brock or Strowman which is who he needs to face in the main event.

The Doctorbomb never gets any love but it was a favourite staple for me in Dr. Death's signature offense. No huge airtime or speed, but something about the 'just gutrench this guy and take a seat' was very apropos for him.

This is a very good standard powerbomb. Also powerbombs are by far the best move to do through tables

I was also gonna come to post keith lee. the thing that makes me love the spirit bomb is how he uses the bounce to stack the person up on their shoulders for the pin. a good pin transition levels up a move a lot for me.
