10 Classic WWE Era Superstars That Would Still Get Over Today
5. Vader
There will always be room on a WWE roster for athletic big men. And with the exception of Brock Lesnar (and possibly John Cena), there just haven't been that many big guys who can whip their bodies around like Big Van Vader did in his heyday.
Could you imagine seeing Big Show or Braun Strowman hit a damn moonsault off the top turnbuckle? The laws of gravity would suggest that's not even in the realm of possibility, and yet, most fans were likely just as surprised to see Vader execute the move to perfection time and time again.
Some of Vader's promos might come off a little cheesy by today's standards, but that's a simple fix, remedied by giving him a fast-talking manager like he had in Jim Cornette. In a lot of ways, Vader/Cornette had the same effect on the company as Lesnar/Heyman, so there's no reason to think that combination wouldn't work just as well if they debuted on the current roster.
