kidd0 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 WWE NEWS Vader has passed away By Robert Schillaci Published on June 20, 2018 SHARE TWEET COMMENT We are sad to report that Leon White, who many fans know as former WCW Champion Vader, has passed away at the age of 63. The news broke on his official Twitter account. Vader was a monster heel during the early 90’s in WCW. He won championships in several promotions including All Japan Pro Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and the Universal Wrestling Federation, among other organizations. In recent years, he has talked about his health issues, most notably issues with his heart. Vader’s son Jesse White noted on Twitter that his father was diagnosed with a severe case of pneumonia about a month ago and he was making progress but his heart gave out. http://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/vader-has-passed-away/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just remembered he isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE had 2 years to do so after his accident and didn't put him in. I mean he's definitely going in, but it just won't be the same as him being here for it. Damn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
