Stone Cold shoots on Big Van Vader, and shares some stories about him - including the time he saved Sid Vicious's life after he was stabbed in Germany with Scissors.

I don't follow wrestling too much, but I do remember him being super athletic for his size. One of the huge big men that didn't just lumber around the ring.

Also this was a great costume -

Someone post the shoot interview where Paul Orndorff talks about kicking Vader(Leon) in the head repeatedly with cheap 99 cent flip flops.

Vader was great. Some of his matches against Sting in WCW around 91, 92 were fantastic and his ones gainst Cactus Jack were great, too. Very good working punch, looked very stiff most of the time think he actually used to just punch the fuck out of you to make it look realistic..

Not to speak ill of the dead but still an interesting shoot interview.

Paul Orndorff(within stages of throat cancer) discusses the infamous Orndorff vs. Vader(Leon) backstage fight.

Flip flops(wishes he had had boots on)

i think most guys hated wrestling him because he was so stiff, that moonsault doesn't look pleasant
