The Duck of Death
Nov 19, 2009

Vader actually attempted a shooting star press in the BATB match with Hogan, but aborted in midair. Can't imagine what would have happened had he committed.



Here is the story, from the Observer:

quote:

Midway through the match, Vader's idea was to attempt to debut a shooting star press (kind of a reverse moonsault that has only been done by Jushin Liger and Hayabusa in Japan) that would miss when Hogan would move, however to do that move, your foe needs to be near the corner. Hogan was halfway across the ring and Vader went out with the idea of doing it, realizing there was no way, and in compensating landed in a clumsy senton which destroyed his shoulder. He continued to work on heavy medication for the next two months until the Orndorff incident, at which point WCW suspended him without pay.

And here is Vader confirming that this was indeed what he had in mind.
