The Nature Boy Ric Flair writes a heartfelt message following Vader’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame
The Greatest big man in the history of professional wrestling Vader to be inducted into WWE Hall of Fame class of 2022. In addition, several Pro wrestling stars are paying tribute to the legendary Big Van on this very occasion.
“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair also penned a heartfelt message regarding Vader’s inclusion. He took to Twitter and mentioned that he would go down as one of the most challenging people I ever competed against.
You Will Go Down In My History As One Of The Toughest People I Ever Competed Against! Congrats @itsvadertime On Being Inducted Into The 2022 @WWE Hall Of Fame!
Vader was one of the most incredible big men in the history of professional wrestling. In addition, he is one of the monster heels of the 1990s. Unfortunately, he won’t attend it as Vader passed away in 2018 after an ongoing struggle with heart issues.
Several other top WWE stars along with Ric Flair paid tribute to Vader
WWE Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy and Development Triple H remembered the “big man” and said that he was respected by his peers.
With his imposing size and unbelievable agility, Vader was more than just a great “big man.” In front of the camera, he was Vader, behind the camera, Leon White was respected by his peers. For his accomplishments and much more, proud to say he’s in the #WWEHOF!
Mick Foley also took to Twitter and sent gratitude towards Vader’s family, and he was also known as Leon White. He also said that his matches with Vader were some of the best.
VADER IN HOF! Congratulations to the family of @itsvadertime on the well deserved (overdue, in my opinion) induction of Leon White into the #WWEHOF My matches with Vader were some of the best and wildest of my career.
Former WWE creative writer Kazeem Famuyide posted Vader’s famous appearance on the hit sitcom “Boy Meets World”. Appreciate the post and all the comments. Not many shows continue to resonate with fans all these years later. It sure warms me. You can’t imagine how challenging it was to film an episode of TV during a @WWE house show. Proud of everyone. Here’s a behind the scenes pic.
Big E also reacted to the post and said that he is a massive fan of Vader.
As a massive Vader and Boy Meets World fan as a kid, this was peak tv for me.
However, there is no word on who will induct Vader. The 2022 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Friday, April 1, from the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
