RIP, Leon White aka Vader!

[Hitman]

Another one of the fallen brothers. A sad day in the world of professional wrestling.

I'll never forget what guys like Bret Hart and Jim Cornette said about him, that he appeared a big rough villain from the outside. But inside he was a big baby and it was extremely easy to hurt his feelings and make him cry.

RIP! Hope to see you in the WWE Hall of Fame some day soon, which you richly deserve.

The best big man wrestler I saw. Worked stiff matches in Japan with the likes of Hansen. However he deteriorated physically later on and his ring work suffered.

He's had congestive heart failure for a couple of years now. RIP.

RIP, one of the greatest big men the industry ever saw. The stuff he was able to do was not meant to be humanly possible for someone his size and he had this extremely fearful aura which resonated with fan bases all around the world. He had outstanding matches with the likes of Shawn, Flair, Sting and Mick Foley; a shame he was not inducted in to the hall whilst still healthy. The last few years haven't been the best for him, thoughts with his family.

I first came to know about him when he started feuding with taker back in 1995/1996. I hated his guts back then cause he was a unique type of monster heel at the time & his moonsaults would make me wince as it looked like he would literally crush his opponent's ribs.

Later on i came to know about his WCW career & his stiff wrestling style which a lot of guys hated about him. He is now more famous for ripping mick foley's ear than he is for his wrestling style. In starrcade match with ric flair, you can easily spot ric's mouth bleeding from inside due to his stiff punches.

But i was always in awe of his skillset & moves that he would execute despite his large frame. RIP to him, he was a good entertainer and knew how to put matches with talented guys like shawn michaels, bret hart & taker.

Remember this match as i was starting to become taker fan in those days. Always remember the maneuver by hart to win the title & losing it to Sid the next day on Raw.

I think that was the first time the title changed hands on raw. That loss set two important matches on wrestlemania 97, bret vs stone cold (which was a classic, we fans hadn't seen any fight like that at the time) & taker vs sid.
