ya know, while i won't go into the long story, but i was actually assaulted by vader when he was "big hoss" doing his cowboy and indian tag-team gimmick thing.

Strange when you get the likes of Austin saying Vader was one of the nicest softest guys in the locker room

Ive also heard stories of Vader being a bully from other sources. Like a lot of people, it depends on who you were and when you knew them. He was probably an absolute teddy bear with people he liked, but a huge dick to those he didn't respect.

People see each other from different perspectives. Ava Braun likely thought Hitler was a wonderful man.

Not sure with Vader. Half the guys I hear call him a bully. The other half say he was a victim of being too nice and was bullied himself.

Steve Blackman wanted to knock Vader out too lol

It's strange to hear this from Bischoff given other people (such as Foley) always claimed that out of the ring, Leon White was genuinely lovely (if somewhat expensive in terms of his room service bill). Again, two sides of the same man and all that, but weird how there's that dissonance, especially given some of the names working in WCW at the time.

Theres always two sided reports when it came to vader. Some guys said he was really nice and easy to be around and others said he was a bully and jerk.

Love how most comments Acknowledge, two sides of the Same Guy😊

Hogan & Bischoff wanted Vader & his pay gone, end of story. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole the thing was a set up with Bischoff sending Vader elsewhere to do Promo pics & not informing Orndorff that Vader would be late to the TV taping, I'm sure Bischoff anticipated a confrontation with Vader & Orndorff.

Vader himself said he was making like 800k a year in wcw which today is well over 1.5 million dollars and the way WCW buisness was back then in the early 90s they definitely didnt wanna keep paying him that kind of money especially when they Hogan and savage they was paying crazy money to. so like you said wouldn't be surprised if they was trying to find an excuse to get rid of him. But i always enjoyed Vader in WCW that was his best run in america he was just a monster heel that was believable.

Ironic that Vader was looked at as a bully in WCW and ended up being bullied by Shawn Micheals of all ppl! Hilarity! 😂

Bermuda shorts 1 minute cut offs in another minute.

pretty wonderful

Neither guy won the fight. A pair of flip flops won the fight. They outshine what either of them did.

As soon as i read wcw promoter that knocked out vader i already knew it would be a wonderful video 😂

Actually a lot of people say Vader what's a bully and other people say he was very nice it seems to me he was just like Bradshaw some people like him some other people don't like him it's life you can be loved by someone hated by someone else it's usual I don't see anything up normal nobody is popular with every human being on Earth and I listen to Jim cornette podcast from time to time and Jimmy said Leon can be somewhat of a bully or rude when he's in one of those moods it seems to me the guy was what every other human being can it depends on your mood which side you woke up which is pretty much every human being

Getting dropped with a punch is not getting “beat up.” I’m quite sure Vader could have hurt Paul in a real fight.

Thats a lie I been a Shawn Michales fan ever since 1996 he never bullied anybody. He was bullied most of his career because he was so much better than everyone else. And the ladies loved him. You need to get your facts straight before you say something. He brought Nash to the WWE because he needed a bodyguard and then not long after Nash turned against him.

I don’t think big Leon would ever have stooped to that level. This guy had his eye popped out of the socket in the ring and finished the match, then popped it back in himself. Please don’t somebody of his stature to the dickhead kids of today with their Instagram accounts and love for reality TV and discrimination lawsuits. He’d still do the same today because he was a real man.
