Vader started his career facing guys like Hansen, Bruiser Brody, and so forth in the AWA where the shots were stiffer than frozen corpse. Then everyone after that bitched that he worked stiff.


True, but he was fricking guys up.

Didnt realize he was an NFL prospect at center.

Yeah, he was on a Rams Super Bowl team around 1980.

Apparently Vader was gonna beat Hogan for the WCW title on the second episode of Nitro (the first time going against Raw) until he got his arse beat by Paul Orndorff. That freed up money to hire Luger.

If anyone is unfamiliar, Google around for Vader's Japan stuff.


He and Bam Bam Bigelow have a tag title match against The Steiners over there that is great:

The Steiners were so damn underrated as a tag team. Had that All-American wrestling look but they were stiff as well. They had a solid run against Terry Gordy & Dr. Death as well

I saw Scott Steiner at Walmart recently but I was too afraid to say something.

Why? I'm sure he would have appreciated hearing from a fan.

This season has been up & down. Some good episodes and some that were just not very interesting.

He’s lost all his gains. He looks skinny and terrible now.

Agree. I turned the Tony Atlas episode off it was just boring. First time I have ever done that. I liked the Billy Jack Haynes episode this week.

He was with his wife and leaving as I was walking in. There's a 133.66% chance he would've been pissed.

I got about as far as him claiming to be involved with the kids on the tracks in Arkansas and shut it off.

I think from past viewings of his other interviews that I just have a low tolerance for his drugged up storytelling because I’ve sat through it before.

Maybe I’m just too familiar with all the stories but it felt like the Billy Jack episode left a lot out about how mentally unstable he was while still in the wrestling business, well before the beating he took in the 2000s.

This is a guy who pulled out of going to the WWF on short notice in 1984 when they were doing a media push of “Billy Jack is coming!”. He also left several other territories such as Mid-Atlantic in a huff, supposedly threatening Dusty and Jim Crockett Jr over a payoff in that specific case. He also had some kind of fight with Iron Mike Sharpe in WWF at some point before the incident mentioned on the show about him ODing on opiates on a plane.



He’s never had all his oars in the water and it has just gotten worse over time.

Well there's a big difference between steroid use and steroid abuse.
