BIG VAN VADER | Before They Were GONE | Leon White Wrestler

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Big Van Vader, one part Darth Vader, two parts Bain and 100% the inspiration behind Billy Madison's the Revolting Blob. The man weighed in at 400 lbs and had a helmet and was widely regarded as the greatest super heavyweight in pro wrestling history. He simultaneously held world heavyweight titles with three different promotions on three continents & his in the ring shenanigans resulted in Rick Foley's ear getting ripped off and his own eye once popped out of its' socket. Prior to his career as a global wrestler, he was a college football star who briefly played in the NFL.
