Vader was one of the greatest and most-underrated heels ever. A big menacing guy who was agile and the true master of the Powerbomb; sorry Sid and Diesel
Rick and Scott are just a few of the greatest guys I've ever had the chance to work on shows with. I learned a lot from them
Vader and the Steiners are some of the best guys of their era.
VADER TIME! R.I.P Leon thanks for many years of great memories
Rick Steiner is legit one of the most personable people I’ve ever seen do a shoot interview. It really is a shame that he isn’t a major part of wrestling today. Makes it all the more fucked up how Flair buried him and prevented him from being NWA world champion
Damn. Vader had to have run into some really bad dudes for Rick Steiner to go quiet when talking about it.
Aaron T Yakuza that's enough to make the toughest guy go silent
@@1980DEVILSREJECTS exactly 💯
Vader probably was ABOUT to Die AND he wasn't worth the attention
In his book, describes one encounter with a Yakuza that is just harrowing.
Brad Rheingans was a legit tough dude. Hogan named Haku, Brad Rheingans, and Andre among the toughest guys he knew in his career.
MMAfan Hogan still kissing andre's ass, Andre tough are you kidding me? The only thing andre had going for him was his size, i'd take the other two guys and throw in harley for good good measure. Hell, bad news allen was going to whip andre' ass years ago.
The Prophet of Rage was gunna whip Andre's ass. 🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@30907bng dude. Just understand 1 thing. You cannot deal with 500lbs dude that is 1.5 times higher than you. You physically cant. No matter who you are. If you are 175-200lbs guy you won't do a single thing to such a guys. But he. He on his turn can kill you with a single slap in the face. It is simple as that. He shouldn't even be a boxer or MMA or whatever fighting shit you can apply to a guy. If you are 500lbs even Tyson in his prime would not prefer to mess with you in real life. Such giants can accidentally kill people not even noticing that. And hey MMA is nota real life fight okay. They have rules. Try to fight gorilla or orangutan. They are not professional fighters nor they had any training besides fighting for their females during their lives. But they are way heavier than you are. Gorilla can pretty much crush your chest with a single hit without any boxing experience. Do you think 500lbs guy had no power, strength? Andre could lift you with one hand holding you by the throat and slam you to the ground if he wanted to. Without your help by the way like it happens in wrestling
@ Evgeny Kondrat while you’re right about that stuff, he was talking about another wrestler who was going to fight Andre, not himself. The wrestler was a big guy as well, obviously not as big as Andre but still pretty damn big, and he was actually a fighter with world-class experience. It’s known that Andre got punked. I’m a huge fan of Andre but you can’t just assume the bigger guy is always going to win the fight lol
André, Haku, Brad; and most likely Gene LeBell, Gene Anderson. Earthquake was known to be tough too. And the bloke who could crush apples.
Yakuza are pretty much involved in pro-wrestling, MMA, K-1. It's just the way they do business.
Mark Flanigan Money laundering
They reward the town with free wrestling shows for their cooperation. Free tickets. And the wrestlers, some Japanese but all American wrestlers go to their Restaurant for dinner after the show. Just like a lot of American gangsters the Yakuza have Restaurants also lol. It's a crazy experience.
From what I've seen and heard there's a lot of boxers and MMA guys that started off as enforcers for some really shady people.
Alot of U S mob guys were fans of wrestling in the states and made for interesting shows when bruno wrestled . I dont think they ran anything . They were just powerfully local people at the shows showing support for a Italian wrestler !
Video games too.
RIP Vader.
Brad Rheingans competed in Greco-Roman wrestling, was a 2x American Olympic team (fourth place, not champion), 2x gold medalist at the Pan American Games and 1x bronze medalist at the Greco Roman World Champs. His ring name was his real name.
Vader was a wrecking ball in the world of wrestling
speaking about Vader. it would be beyond awesome if you could do a full shoot interview with him.
It will happen more likely than not.
Its been reported that he only has two years to live.
Next month.
1978mackdaddy creepy bro where did you hear this initially? R.I.P Big Van Vader.
Isn’t he dead now? As of November 2019?
steiners and vader vs 3 jobbers would be a massacre
Steiners and Vader vs. anyone would be a massacre lol If those 3 guys don't want to do anything, you're not going to make them.
I think the nearest we got was Vader and Scott Steiner vs 2 jobbers on a JCW show. It was brutal.
I hope we'll see rick manage some amataur talents and bring them to AEW at the future.....
Key words “he got comfortable”
Vader I heard scared the living shit out of people
RICK STEINER RIGHT ABOUT VADER !!
Brad Rheinghans was a bad ass but couldn't sell tickets
I always like him, but was never more than mid card in AWA. I remember him taking then champ Nick Bockwinkel to a 30 minute draw.
I managed a restaurant down the street from AWA business headquarters. Brad was a regular. He was a quiet, humble, soft spoken man. Never loud or arrogant like many of his co-workers. He never got drunk and caused a scene like so many of his coworkers. Brad was also kind of small in stature. Honestly, you would never know by looks that he was the extreme badass that shoved Vaders head in the toilet. Yes sir, you are correct he was simply too humble to sell tickets, He couldn't interview.
Vader ❤
Please get some Vader interviews. Please?
Rick Breakker
Vader was a potato peeler! He was never light on guys
Vader was a bullying jerk.
Funny that, cos any interviews ive seen with wrestlers, they've all said he was a big softy in the dressing room
@@alanrobinson7891 He's always been a bully. Steve Blackman was going to kick his ass too.
Im pretty sure Rick Steiner is Transgender
Like si veniste a jalartela.
