Richard Gray June 11, 2012 WWE News 29 Comments

Leon “Vader” White worked a match against Heath Slater on tonight’s Raw Supershow. Vader went over Slater in the match.

White was brought in as a name from the past to celebrate the lead-in to the 1000th episode of Raw. Bringing in past names is going to be a reoccurring theme until the 1000th episode on July 23, 2012.

Vader is the man! FTW!
Chris

Vader time!
The Dude

I’m a fan of this idea. Vader looked great!
Aldo T

That was probably one of the greatest moments in my life!

It was great to see Big Van Vader. IT'S TIME IT'S TIME IT'S VADER TIME!!!
Anand

More big names – Bret Hart, Goldberg, Saturn, DDP, the list is endless… C'mon WWE

  Umm, aside from Bret, you pretty much named the "main even of Nitro" not Raw, not sure most of those will be involved.

    idk why you got a thumbs down and the guy above got plenty of thumbs up. None of those names mentioned (aside from Bret) were RAW main eventers for a sustained period of time if at all. Made no sense to me either.

He looked like he had trouble getting to a standing position whenever he left his feet, but otherwise he moved just as well as he did back in the day.
- Mr.Love
  
  Agreed but he didn’t looked great besides that. Go vader! I was impressed
- The Dude
  
  He had knee replacement surgery not too long ago.
- christopher525
  
  Ok, good, I wasn't the only one who noticed that. He did look a bit awkward trying to stand up a few times.
- Anand
  
  Yes, he was a bit slow to his feet but its probably more than a decade since he last had a competitive match. So, given that he was pretty good. also, for a man his size, if the opponent is down just becaue he collided with vader is believable Vader Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dangerous Lee

I wonder what Scott Steiner would say about Vader.
- Frendo
  
  “Faaaatttt Assesss”
Benjy Bronk

Vader was awesome, I thought he was going to back flip off the ropes.
Mike

It was definitely great to see vader in the ring again. Can’t wait to see who they bring back next week!
eric

Vader still got it
DoJo

Just don’t bring back Doink……….

Heath Slater is going to busy over the next few weeks doing a Marty McFly and going back in time to get his ass handed to him on a plate.
James

With what JBL saying that he will be back looks like we will be seeing him in the next few weeks then.
Philip Thompson

I can see where this is going – bring in past names each week until the 1000th episode and the 1000th episode can be a big advert for WWE Legends House which will probably air very shortly thereafter.
ZackPack

This idea is very exciting. Hard to follow VADER TIME though!

One thing I did find odd was that he was wearing the old Ahmed Johnson thigh pads under his ring gear. Speaking of which, maybe we'll get an Ahmed vs. Big Zeke matchup.

  I take it you haven’t seen the recent pictures of Ahmed Johnson. Since semi retiring, the guy has gotten fat. You can barely even recognize him nowadays. I recommend you do a quick Google search.
Kevin

Vader was good, but it's easy to follow Vader. Cowboy Bob Orton, Terry Funk, just to name a couple. Maybe even Mick Folley. Perhaps we'll even be treated to Stone Cold
Jake

Would be nice to see Psycho Sid/Sid Viscious/Sid Justice make an appearance!
