my girlfriend did not know what VADER TIME was, beyond seeing a big dude in a leotard and weird mask in my Fire Pro streams, until the day before yesterday I showed her the vs Sting strap match from Superbrawl 93 her reaction was one long and now Vader is one of her favorite wrestlers

Although in this universe, NJPW is stuck with Warrior (the 1st choice for Vader).

Vader vs Foley on those two April '93 shows are so incredibly brutal. Another Vader match worth a watch is the Superbrawl '95 main event vs Hogan, where Vader has the best kayfabe showing against prime babyface Hogan of anyone other than Warrior. Includes: -Vader no-selling a Hogan chairshot -Vader kicking out of the legdrop with authority (had anyone done that previously?) -Hogan winning by DQ but not having decisive control at the time Hogan seemed in much more peril than he did in typical formula bouts because Vader's offense was just miles ahead of '80s WWF monster heels.

I know it's preaching to the choir, but Vader/Flair Starrcade '93 is imo one of the, if not THE, best Monster vs "Little" Guy match in contemporary wrestling. For having to call an audible because Sid Vicious hosed up the booking of the main event by stabbing Arn, WCW's hastily put together build up to Flair vs Vader is brilliant. From the promos to the Retirement stip to the opening vignettes on the ppv to the actual match itself, it's a fantastic piece of work. This stuff alone is gold Unfortunately the actual ppv itself is hot garbage but, hey, that's super macho dude fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jun 24, 2018 |

Vader in his non-monster form is a complete mindfuck

That Vader/Hansen match they put up on the Network is real fun for a 10 minute slugfest. You don't often see Hansen get thrown around like a sack of potatoes, but Vader managed

Vader memories, well everyone has already mentioned the good ones so I'll mention two goofy ones. 1) WWE In Your House (the video game) had "super pins" and Vader's just made no sense at all. And this is considering that all of them were ridiculous, and Triple H's is so ridiculous it would have topped the list if Vader's hadn't. Really...what the gently caress? 2) They were running some contest where the main prize was you got to have a dinner with a WWE wrestler and the ad had Vader and he wore a special version of his outfit that said SUPPER TIME instead of VADER TIME.

I forgot that Vader made Hogan look like a bitch in their first match. I'll have to check it out.
