I remember Bret saying in his 'Wrestling With Shadows' documentary that Vader was a 'big baby' that cries at the drop of a hat. Since then I never looked at him the same. But this is because of Bret, not Shawn.

Doubt Bret said these things to make him look bad, but he really killed his persona for me.

Don't believe he said crying specifically. Just said he was a giant teddy bear.

Either way it did make me think different of him, heh.

Here's the Jim Cornette take:



Recently watched Bruce Prichard's RF shoot which was really good. Bruce was talking about HBGOAT and RingMaster Steve Austin working house shows in early '96

Bruce said Shawn would go up to Vince, Pat and Bruce at every show and say about Austin, "that guy is awesome"

HBK had to go from working Austin to Vader every night. Who wouldn't be pissed?

On top of being a stiff, dangerous, unprofessional worker, Vader allegedly smelled like rotten a$$hole because he didn't wash his shyt. It's a miracle that HBK was able to pull off some good matches with him.

Watched the Summerslam match the other night, was actually pretty shytty.

Overbooked finish, and zero chemistry. Shawn jumping off the top rope and just landing to yell "move!" was indicative of the dikkhead that Shawn was at that moment of his career.

Your neg reps say it all. you've read way too many smark opinions.

Yeah let's blame Shawn for Vader fukking up a spot. Shawn just expected Vader to read his mind :laff:

Ever wonder why Shawn and Sid of all people worked basically flawless matches? Because Sid could work. If Vader had half the brain Sid did (1/4th of Nash's), shyt would be on fire

fukk Michaels for doing that. Vader was red hot and Michaels wants to still act like a bytch as WCW is still whooping their ass. shyt like that is why he's not in my top 10.
