Vader is a piece of garbage

[jmt225]

WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race and his former protégé in World Championship Wrestling, Vader, came to blows in front of fans at today’s “Legends of the Ring” convention in Monroe, New Jersey. Details remain sketchy, but Race punched Vader in the face after the two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion became belligerent. Vader attempted to punch back at the 69-year-old—who now uses a motorized scooter to get around—but accidentally struck and hurt a worker who came between them. Race and Vader then went into the hallway to discuss their issue.

A) What must you say in order to piss Harley Race off to the point where he slugs you? Race was a wild man in his hey day, but he hasn't been like that in a long while.

B) It takes a real piece of shit to try and hit a 69-year-old man who requires a scooter to get around, no matter what the old guy did to you. Not to mention when you're the size of fucking Vader, you have nothing to prove against an old man like Race; everyone knows he could kick Race's ass with ease, so he should have just walked away and approached him later when cooler heads prevailed.

I'm a fan of Vader's work, but he lost a ton of respect here. All those rumors we've all heard about him must be true for him to act this way, at this age.

So because Race is in a scooter he gets a free pass to just start punching people in the fucking face? Maybe Harley should have just fired up his little scooter & drove off if Vader was being that obnoxious.

Mr. Shawn Michaels made me cry pissed off Harley Race? The fuck?

Haha... exactly. He can challenge an old man like Race, but can't stick up for himself to a wimp like HBK.

 

[The Crock]

There's no reason for old men to be throwing punches -- so I'm not exactly supporting Harley Race here, especially since he swung first -- but Vader's still a douche.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

When "details are sketchy" and in weeks where the WWE champion back elbows-left crosses a fan with a sunglasses fetish, I am going to reserve moral judgement.

I'd rather watch this than a Sheamus match. Book it Vince.

Someone on the main page was supposedly there; and they said the altercation didn't go down like that. It is somewhere down in the comment section.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

I was there. Apparently Vader was getting pissy with fans(as he's been known to do) and Race told him not to disrespect the fans that are paying to see him. Vader didn't take kindly to that, arguing began, and then the punching happened.

Soo, you're not into random move after random move even if he's moving at a quick pace? Little time between moves doesn't substitute for storytelling?? You devil, you.

Race swung first. Vader's an idiot, but so is Race.

Exactly. Don't start nothin' there won't be nothin'. You start throwing hands with somebody be ready for them to throw back.

If Vincent Michaels version of the story is true, then all Harley Race was doing was sticking up for the wrestling fans who paid their money to meet the man only to be treated like crap. Race should be lauded for punching Vader if that's the case.

Since then I've actually heard two versions of the story: one is that Vader was getting pissy with fans because people were attempting to look at his helmet(the one from WCW that was shipped straight from Japan) and said that you had to pay to see and take photos with it(which was never specified), and the other was that he simply got REALLY upset because Harley gave him a friendly hit on the back when Harley entered to start signing(likely because of said fan mistreatment).

 

[DirtyJosé]

Sorry, with Nick on this one. Someone else crossed the line first. Both men fucked up, and neither looks any better than the other. To think otherwise is foolish.

What I read was that Race was going past Vader and gave him a slap on the back in a friendly manner but it startled Vader and he turned around and saw it was Race and that was the end of it.

The part where it says they went out in the hall to talk things out was said to be false too. They were said to have gone out in the hall to take pictures as scheduled.

That is someone who said they were there and saw it.

I don't know if it's true or not but that was the account I read.
