Mick Foley believes it's "about damn time" that old pal Vader was inducted into WWE's Hall Of Fame.

The deceased legend was announced for the 2022 class earlier this month, and that put a smile across Mick's chops. He and Vader worked several memorable (and absolutely brutal) matches in WCW during the early-1990s.

Foley told fans watching his YouTube channel that Vader and Chyna were the two names he always plumped for when folks asked him who should be inducted; Chyna went in as part of D-Generation X back in 2019. She's yet to go in solo though, which is something Mick thinks needs to happen at some stage.

For now, he's just glad that Big Van Vader is about to be honoured.

Mick did add that Vader didn't need the Hall Of Fame treatment to "legitimise" his contributions to the pro wrestling biz. Interestingly enough, Vader felt differently. Before passing, he regularly told Foley that it didn't sit well that he hadn't been inducted.

Foley told him that it didn't really matter, but Vader was having none of it. Thankfully, 2022 is finally Vader time.
