November 28, 201212 yr comment_5521079 Weird music plays and we get shots of Big Van Vader's smoking-helmet entrance, but nothing more.
December 2, 201212 yr Author comment_5521330 If my memory serves me correctly, WCW did a great job of hyping Vader's debut, then had no idea what to do with him when he started. I know hindsight in 20/20, but how different would this Sting run had been if Vader had been brought in as the first opponent?
December 21, 201212 yr comment_5523417 Really interesting promo to introduce a guy on USA tv. I thought the music added great presence and I liked how you don't see Vader without the helmet yet.
January 23, 201312 yr comment_5529840 Vader with his evil head gear and skeleton staff. Nice tease for the incoming Vader.
December 19, 201311 yr comment_5576634 I'd have been scared as a lad watching this strange man with the skull head staff walking around looking menacing.
January 13, 201510 yr comment_5649184 I had no idea that Vader was in WCW this early. Did he do anything of note before '92?
May 5, 20169 yr comment_5751362 I had no idea that Vader was in WCW this early. Did he do anything of note before '92? I remember he squashes The Z Man at GAB 1990, and I can't remember if that's his debut or not. After that, I don't remember him until the Stan Hansen match at Wrestle War 91.
May 5, 20169 yr comment_5751363 Haha just noticed I quoted a year and a half old post. Oh well, I imagine that question has been answered by now.
January 4, 20178 yr comment_5781471 Pretty cool footage from New Japan of Vader terrorizing fans as he walks to the ring and shooting smoke out of his helmet, all while a spooky soundtrack plays over the top.
