#5 Vader

Vader
Vader Time, was a short time

Vader is one of the best big men in history and one of the all time greats of WCW and in Japan.

His run with the WWE from 1996 - 1998 was surprisingly underwhelming. At a time when everyone seemed to be leaving WWE for WCW, you would think they would push the one big name that did it vice versa, but no. Following his departure from WWE, Vader returned to Japan.

In early 2003, Vader would make his surprise debut for TNA. Vader debuted by aiding Dusty Rhodes in his feud with Vince Russo's Sports Entertainment X-treme faction. Vader would then briefly feud with Nikita Koloff, who's career ended at the hands of Vader years earlier. The two only ever had a few segments together before Vader quietly departed TNA.

Vader returned to Impact Wrestling for one night only in 2015 where he scored a DQ win over Bram.
