Vader would bully guys in the ring and take liberties when he could get away with it. In real life he turned into a pussy as soon as he got punched in the face. A 1/2 crippled up Paul Orndorff beat him into a crying pile of blubber when Vader tried playing tough guy in the locker room. Some people forget they win all the time in the ring, because the other guy is paid to lose.

That said, Vader spent too much time in Japan to not be tough. They work stiff over there, and they like to watch huge Americans clubber the shit out of each other. Dr. Death Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, Vader, Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody. Big fucking country boys that can take a beating twice as good as they give em. 6'3, 315, with a chest an axe handle wide was like minimum size. Except for the Funks. They aint that big, but they worked Japan alot in the 70's. Dory Jr was NWA champ, and Terry was funkin nuts.

Stan Hansen Pops Vader's Eye Out.
