Mid-Card Championship Winner
I just read and watched a video where Vader was told by 2 different doctors that he has 2 years left to live due to congestive heart failure, stemming from his wrestling/football career.
Vader's WWE career was mostly "chasing" the title, but never actually won any during his time with Vince. However, his wrestling career lasted almost 20+ years having wrestled in the AWA, WCW, WWE and was a huge star in Japan. And, IMO, he was the fastest of all the big men in wrestling (outside of Bigelow.....maybe).
Not sure if there will be room to fit Vader in since there are so many other wrestlers to choose from who have accomplished more, but I would love to see him inducted while he is still with us.
I expect him to get in within the next few years regardless.
