If you watched WCW in the early 90s, there was one fact that was absolute and unquestionable: Vader was the scariest wrestler of all time. He was 400 pounds, hit like a Mack truck and flew like a cruiserweight. The idea of old man Ric Flair returning to WCW and beating Vader for the WCW Championship had the same likelihood of happening as the Easter Bunny being declared as actually existing. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1l6j3_ric-flair-vs-vader-starrcade-93-par_sport But Ric Flair winning this match is why wrestling is awesome and this encounter never gets old.
