Why is vader back in wwe

The popular wrestler was He fought extremely hard and clinically was making progress. Unfortunately, on Monday night his heart had enough and it was his time. However, in April his health began to deteriorate.

A few years ago, he tweeted that doctors told him he had two years to live , but he later toned down the severity of his condition and said he regretted revealing his diagnosis to the public.

Dazed and shaken, Vader stumbled backwards, jerked his mask off and somewhat nonchalantly shoved his eyeball back in his head. Then he wrestled for another 10 minutes. I had to have reconstructive surgery. This is the kind of story you want to hear when you talk to Vader, but this story is not that kind of story. Not entirely, anyway. It begins in the s in the notoriously dangerous area of Los Angeles known as South Central.

His childhood was a rough one. Once, two men broke into the house through a bedroom window while Leon and his sister were home by themselves. It was a traumatizing moment, but the kids were given little comfort. I was eight years old. Vader was born big, but his size often put him at a disadvantage. His new identity was based on a strong warrior of the same name from Japanese folklore.

He was introduced as the crown jewel of the Takeshi Puroresu Gundan stable managed by Takeshi Kitano. This led the pro-Inoki audience to riot, resulting in New Japan being banned from the Sumo Hall, which was its home arena; the ban was rescinded in , when New Japan did their first show back in Sumo Hall on February On May 25, one month after being crowned champion, Vader lost the title to Russian suplex master Salman Hashimikov.

He won the match and, as a result, held the Heavyweight Championship in two separate organizations at the same time. He continued to travel between Japan and Europe, defending his titles. He defeated Canek for the title, holding it for approximately one year. The two exchanged very stiff punches, and one of them caused Vader's right eye to actually pop out of its socket, although it was contained by the swelling in his eyelid.

Vader took the time to take off his mask and push the eye back in the socket before finishing the match as planned. This reign was short-lived and on March 4, Vader lost the belt back to Fujinami.

This benefited Vader, as he could now have his schedule coordinated far more easily. This helped alleviate his difficulty in gaining notoriety in WCW, as his previously infrequent appearances did not allow the audience to see him very often. Sting suffered a pair of cracked ribs and a ruptured spleen in the match after taking a splash from Vader, though he continued to compete infrequently while recuperating.

Vader was placed in a feud with Nikita Koloff shortly afterward, while Sting recuperated. His reign was short-lived, as he re-injured his knee, forcing him to drop the title three weeks later to Ron Simmons , who substituted for Sting, who was attacked by Jake Roberts earlier that night. Vader was out of action after the Clash of the Champions in September as he underwent knee surgery.

Upon his return at Halloween Havoc , Vader sent Nikita Koloff into retirement and broke the back of enhancement talent Joe Thurman in a legitimate accident , paralyzing him for a few hours.

Two days later, Vader defeated Simmons by taking advantage of a shoulder injury of Simmons's to regain the World Heavyweight Championship. Six days later, he regained the title in a rematch in Dublin, Ireland. By September , he was simply known as Vader in the United States. He worked with UWFi for over two years.

His greatest triumph under there was a victory in the Best of the World Tournament, which started April 3 and ended August 18, Vader first defeated Salman Hashimikov and then Masahito Kakihara in the quarterfinals. He later left the promotion after a financial dispute. Foley suffered a broken nose and needed 27 stitches for wounds on his face.

The match was heavily edited for broadcast, as WCW did not wish to show the severe bleeding. In a rematch on April 24, Vader powerbombed Cactus onto the concrete floor outside the ring. Foley suffered a concussion and temporary loss of feeling in his left hand and leg.

Vader believed he had sent Cactus into retirement, but Cactus later appeared in a series of skits involving his powerbomb-inflicted amnesia and a search for his past. Vader lost by disqualification when he hit Smith with a chair, though he retained the title. Vader and Sid Vicious then formed a partnership and called themselves "The Masters of the Powerbomb". After Vader dominated Heath Slater on the June 11 episode of Monday night RAW, some people might believe that the year-old has enough left to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, while Vader is easily considered a legend by most, the year-old does not have what it takes to get back in the squared circle.

Vader has always been a pretty big guy. His return showed that he has clearly put on extra weight, though. If Vader were to comeback,, how would he successfully compete barely being able to move around the ring? He was a big man who could move around the ring.
