Shawn Michaels was an insufferable prick to Vader yet Vader still has enough class to put him over as one of the best and chooses not to bury him when he had every valid reason to. Leon's a class act.
This was awesome. I still remember the original promos for Vader WCW made for him when he first joined them. They were dope. First impressions work for sure. I’ll never forget the first time I seen him.
I'll never forget meeting Vader at a Waffle House as a kid after a show. Gave me an autograph and turned down cash for it. (As an 8 year old I wanted another chance to talk to him again, so my dad gave me money to go hand him). We sat behind him as he downed steak after steak and talked to 8-Ball and Chains about how Shawn Michaels was complaining to him mid match about how he was being stiff. He said, "Shawn was bitching about how I hit him too hard, so I said well hit me back?" Lol. Dude was a true gentle giant to his fans. RIP Big Man!
Big Vader was extra tough! I heard that he was battling diabetes, heart problems, and kidney disease a few years before his death. His body couldn’t handle the pneumonia.
Good to see the video material of this interview uncensored and uncut. And finally Vader (Leon White) will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Vader isn't here anymore for this. But maybe he is watching all of this from somewhere. Hannibal should be the one to induct him.
Do you not know how to cut a vid, God he didn't need to keep starting at the very beginning if u knew what u were doing, how much do u pay these wrestlers?
Maybe my favorite interview. Thank you Hannibal
Seemed like a really genuine, down to Earth guy. Bless his soul.

Really good interview, Vader seems to be a down to earth guy with tons of athletic talent
Thank goodness it wasn't 1'5 years after-death
That would have been cool though
I'm glad this interview was "pre death."
I'd hate to see you interview Vader post death.

My favorite wrestle. Truly a jewel all this years later❤, awesome 👌
It’s a real shame he’s not around to be involved in his hall of fame induction one of the best big men to step in the ring
Rip big van ...the best big man to get inside the ropes ...straight facts no argument...a lot of big men have been great but leon set the trend
Wish I could have met ol Leon. Seems like a helluva dude
That mask always looked so uncomfortable...like it was smushing his nose in
Interesting video with the uncut parts. Enjoyed
Thanks 👍
RIP Vader! God rest your soul!
The intro bloopers 😂 🤣
"Pre Death" is definitely not the proper phrasing to use here at all. 1.5years before death is the proper phrasing.
What’s wrong with bagwell? He was good with Scott Steiner
Drugs and alcohol
