Lukas Castro unfortunately

I remember when he announced on Twitter that doctors told him he had 2 years to live, I was like "Ok, WWE has to announce he is getting inducted in the 2017 Hall of Fame" when the time came, he wasn't, so I was like "well, perhaps it was too late to add him to that class, they are probably inducting him next year". 2018 came and they announced the lackluster Hall of Fame class and Vader wasn't in, I was mad because everybody knew his situation and that it was better to add him sooner than later so we wouldn't have to see an unnecessary posthumous induction, well, 6 months after the Hall of Fame the man dies, and with that also die my hopes to see the man getting what he deserved, a fair induction and recognition for all of his accomplishments during his amazing career, that's the least WWE could've done after killing the man's popularity and momentum back in 1996. Yet they didn't, once again they disrespected the man and have a deaf ear to the fans. What makes me mad the most is that they had the chance to induct the man while he was alive, knowing he wouldn't be around much longer, but they didn't, instead they inducted guys like Goldberg (don't take me wrong, he deserved it, but I think guys like Vader earned that spot WAAAY earlier than him).

Most of the great wrestlers did work a little stiff back in the day. It’s what made it believable. You just make sure you do your best to protect the guy with you but accidents happen.

When death finally comes calling, make him eat THREE Powerbombs. Never give up. And take care of yourself, Leon.

Everybody said he was. Stone Cold and Mick Foley were saying he was a beast but still a giant teddy bear on SC's podcast.

His weight was something that the WWF personal took seriously when he was there. They had him go to a specialist but he only went a certain amount of times. I think his problem was that he continued to ignore it. Even now. He said "I don't think I'm fat I'm just big" It seems like that attitude is now doing him in. Yoko also had that attitude. I hope everything turns out ok for him. A man of his size who is both very athletic and be a beast in the gym at the same time deserves better.

But still...he doesn't really know. This happens all the time, especially with terminal diagnoses. A doctor will say, "well, you have six weeks to live," and then the patient will make it another 5 years. Now, 5 years may not seem like a long time, but when you've been given a terminal diagnosis, 5 years is an eternity.

This was published in 2016 and now is 2018. The doctor was right, it's been 2 years. Vader should've went in the hall of fame last year. #RIPVADER

He is such a radiant, interesting guy. Would kill to just sit in a room with him and talk for a few hours. They don't build them like Vader anymore.

Damn this was 2016 the doctor unfortunately was not wrong . Rest in peace Big Man . Thank You Vader

This is sad news because Leon is a great guy.

R.I.P. You were one hell of a guy.

Wow! In 2016 he was told he had about 2 years to live, 2018 he dies. I do not want a prognosis from those doctors. R.I.P big guy. you fought a good fight. Thanks for all the memories.

Rest in peace Vader. Much love. It's always Vader Time.

Praying for the big man. One of my favorite big men in wrestling ever. I hope he can pull through, idk about him wrestling..

Vader is one of my all time favs . I am pulling for you Big Man. My mom is on dialysis Im going to show this to her to give her some more inspiration . Good thoughts Vaders way for sure !

sorry to hear about this. Vader was one of my fave wrestlers. hope that his last two years are good ones.

Hang in there Big Man. I love what you've done for wrestling and the fans. You're in my prayers.

my friend was told his heart had less than 2 years left, he died that same night in a car wreck 3 weeks ago, he was just. 41. I think him knowing how bad it was played a part

Truly inspirational, God bless this man ! I am definitely a fan, he's rated in my top ten toughest of all time for ever. world class athlete, with an attitude to match. wishing him renewed health and longevity in his journey. JB

pulling for you Vader! thank you for all you have done for everyone who knows you personally and your fans. Pull through man! good luck

so sad watchi this now that vader has passed. rip big man, you will truly be missed. there will never be another big man like vader

Definitely rooting you. One of my all time favs. Get well, love you man #vadertime

OMG just seen the update in the comments. So sad. Seemed like such a laid back guy. Was a great villain in the ring.

What a legend. No wrestler used to terrify me more as a kid in the 90's than Vader, would never have suspected that he would come across like such a softie and lovely guy. Still so saddened WWE didn't put him in the HOF while he was still alive, I remember Mick Foley saying it meant so much to him to hopefully get that recognition one day, it's sad he never lived to see it.

How sad it was a correct diagnoses. I met him numerous times He was as Kind as he was big. LOVE YA BIG GUY! You will be missed.

Prayers and best wishes to his family and thank you for the goodtimes

One of the saddest days in the wrestling world has to be when Vader announced his life is coming to an end.

mind transcends the brain, mind transcends the physical world, Mind Over Matter!! mr. Vader never accept a diagnostic from outside of yourself!! you have the power to change your situation

Keep that up big man! You're gonna make it through!

Little less than 2 years after this interview and Big van vader/ Leon White has passed away. Thanks for the memories.

Hope you're with us for MUCH LONGER than two years!!!!!!
