WWE: 10 Greatest Big Men Of All Time

5. Vader

vader wwe It's Vader time! The Mastodon began his pro wrestling career under New Japan Pro Wrestling. An organization he would often return to. The 6-foot-5 456 lbs Vader also wrestled for WCW--winning the Heavyweight Title three times. In 1996 he debuted in the WWF as "The Man They Call Vader". He eventually began to be underused and reduced to a jobber by the company but while he was there he had many great matches and showed what a true powerhouse he was. If you grew up watching him or are a true wrestling fanatic you will always appreciate Big Van Vader, what he lacked in grace he made up for in sheer force. Have you ever seen two male elephant seals fight? They slam against each other at full force, it's not a great analogy but...I'm just saying Vader would make a great elephant seal. Despite the horrible ending to this match it's the best short clip I could find to display his skills in the squared circle. Oh and yea he does a somersault off the top rope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRg_RkAxi8Y
