It's Vader Time In Heaven Now!

Ladies and gentlemen,The American Cartoon Federation is sad to announce that today,we just lost one of Wrestlings greatest big men,former Heavyweight Champion,Vader.

Vader aka Big Van Vader,born as Leon White,began his carrer as a Football player playing for the LA Rams as a Center. After finishing his carrer in the NFL,Vader took up Wrestling,where he'd win multiple Championships and partake in some great fueds.

His greatest and most memorable stint was in WCW,where he won the companies Heavyweight Championship 3 Times. He also won the WCW US Championship as well. Guided by legendary Harley Race,Vader dominated in the early 90's

His most memorable WCW fueds include: Cactus Jack,Ron Simmons,"Brittish Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith,Sting,and Hulk Hogan.

After his days in WCW were over in the fall of '95,Vader headed to the WWE in January of '96. In the early-days of his WWE career,Vader was just as dominant as he ever was,but thanks to backstage politics by Shawn Michaels and the Kliq,Vader's push ended after Summer Slam of that year.

From then on out,Vader would lose all championship matches in WWE. Backstage Politics Suck!

Vader departed the WWE in the Fall of 1998 and returned to the indies.

Vader didn't have many memorable feuds in the WWE. The ony ones I can think of is with Yokozuna,Shawn Michaels and Goldust.

Vader was a wrestler that I enjoyed watching. He was a monster,who beat the hell out of anyyone who he got into the ring with. He wasn't only strong and vicious,but he was quick too,as well as a good fighter. Vader was the total monster package.

Though out the years Vader has battled a host of heath issues. In 2016,Vader started battling major heart problems,and now thanks to getting pneumonia,he's lost that battle. He was 63.

Thank you,Vader for all the great matches you have given us as well as those fun promos. You will be missed,Mastadon!
