PW Insider is reporting that WWE has just signed Vader to a WWE Legends deal.
He last wrestled in Japan at Zero-One’s Hustle-1 show in early 2004, where he lost to the late Shinya Hashimoto. Vader was last seen wrestling in the United States for Jersey All Pro Wrestling, in mid-2004, when teamed with Mike Awesome to defeat Samoa Joe and Dan Maff.
You may have also seen Vader on TV earlier this year, when he appeared in an episode of Blue Collar TV.

It would be good to see Vader back in the ring. Thought he was kinda old though? Don't know if he can still get it done in the ring. Hope so though. He could be a great big guy in the WWE. They have to make him a Monster this time though and give him a big push like the big 400 lb man he is, lol.
Would really like to see Mike Awesome though, I always thought he was well...Awesome. Glad to hear he's still wrestling somewhere. Thought he was great in WCW. He was a power house too. He's not that old either so it would be good to see him in the WWE sometime soon.

Do you think he'll have any serious matches though? Animal lasted a little bit so far and is still going after his DVD the "Road Warriors" came out. |

Yeah, I was thinking about too, maybe Vince is trying to start a feud with both of them. The Matt Hardy and Edge feud is working well so maybe he wants another "realer" feud like Foley vs Vader too.

Well slightly diffrent as Mick has never blamed Leon in real life for the loss of his ear.
But it would be a "real" fude in that it would be based on a real life inceident.

Oh, I actually didn't know if it was on purpose or not, never saw the match. How did Mick lose his ear in a match with Vader? Must of hurt. |

Mick did one of his trademark spots.
A Hangman Thats were the performer gets his neck tangeled in the top and middle ring rope and looks like he's being hung.
Obviusly it's not drasticaly life thretning beacuse the ropes are not pulled tight to allow wrestlers to bounce of them with out causeing internal injuries.
Only thing is WCW didn't use Ropes They used Elavetator cables wcensord in plastic. So they had to extremly loose. But on that night some one had complained there was far to much give and the buildings maitnece crew not understanding the ressons fro an slackness in the ropes pulled them completly taunt.
So when Mick hit this spont he was ligtamatly being Hung because the ropes closed around his neck like a Vice.
He had to pull his head out which tore 2/3 sd of his ear off and left it dangaling from his head. Mick and vader not realiseing due to the amount of blood there was around the area kept going for the end of the match. Vader hit Mick with a clothsline and in the process knocked his ear the rest of the way off.

Shwwww...that's crazy, thanks Ricky, didn't know that. Sounds like Mick could of been in real life danger of being choked to death maybe even if he couldn't/didn't get out of the ropes. He had to be worried when he realized what happened and he was tied in the ropes, that's tough.
