10 Top WWE brawls

#8 Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw vs. Big Van Vader -- WWE In Your House: Breakdown

John Bradshaw Layfield, then known as Bradshaw, hits Vader with the Clothesline From Hell

If there's one thing WWE deserves some criticism for, it is the way they handled the career of international monster heel Vader during his run with the company.

Instead of pushing Vader as the unstoppable force he was, WWE instead gave him a comedy gimmick where he was seen to be struggling with compulsive overeating. However, for his final WWE pay-per-view appearance, Vader returned to his roots for a hard-hitting, smash-mouth contest against the up-and-coming star Bradshaw.

"Tonight, you get the old Vader," quoth The Mastadon to Bradshaw. What followed was a contest nearly as brutal as Vader's old brawls with Stan Hansen in Japan. Brutal strikes, outside brawling, and plenty of strong style influence make this a rare, forgotten gem of a match.

Bradshaw is also known to be one of the toughest guys in the business and this was just an example of what he was capable of doing.
