"Vader Passing Away Rumours"

There have been rumours on the net that Vader (Leon White) has passed away. This is thought to be false and we're waiting from a word from Dave Meltzer for anything official. I'll get back to you ASAP on this.

Thanks Tazz for the more detailed explanation :)

Fantastic wrestler. Wrestled in the match Mick Foley lost his ear in. If I remember correctly he went on to powerbomb the guy twice on concrete on two seperate occasions. I have a video of him facing Kane at Over the Edge '98 in a "Loser Unmasks" match (doesn't take a genius to figure out who won). He eventually was released later that year,but he's a dude-and-a-half if you ask me.

Nope, I did, as I posted it.

So ner :P

I didnt believe it first.

Im correct.

Vader, not Vadar :P

I think he's someone at ProWrestling. Never seen him on TheMayhem before.

Oh, and who's Vadar?

\V/

That's his hand sign. It's time...it's time...it's Vadar time!

Oh, and what site does Melzter work for?

That's where I read it. Meltzer thinks it's fake, so it probably is.
