I missed Vader's prime in the US, only seeing a couple matches with the likes of Sting and Mick Foley, which were all good. My main exposure to Vader comes from digging through the New Japan archives, and he was one of the highlights of that whole project. Vader loving ruled.

I got NJPW world this weekend and am gonna scour for Vader poo poo
All of his matches with Tatsumi Fujinami are tremendous, both his matches with Stan Hansen are great, and any match with Bam Bam Bigelow(as a team, or opponents) is a delight.

As tribute, here are a selection of gifs I've made of Vader being loving awesome:












Blessed are we who have had the chance to witness his greatness.

If I remember from Foley's book, 2 Cold Scorpio had complained about the ropes being too lose earlier in the show, causing the ring crew to over-tighten them before the Foley/Vader match.

I'm not sure if it's really dumb or extremely impressive that he thought "Yeah, I'll just do a shooting star press." without practicing it beforehand.
