5 WCW stars who should be in the WWE Hall of Fame

#1 Vader

Vader held the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on 3 separate occasions during his career

Irrespective of promotions, Vader is a name that everyone unanimously agrees should be in the WWE Hall of Fame. The Man They Call Vader is one of the greatest super heavyweight professional wrestlers of all time.

In addition to being one of the most physical and brutal professional wrestlers in the sport's history, Vader also possessed incredible athleticism and agility for a man of his stature and size.

Despite standing six-feet-five-inches tall and weighing 450lbs, Vader was able to perform a moonsault from the top rope and incorporate moves such as the Vader Bomb into his signature arsenal.

Appearing for World Championship Wrestling between 1990 and 1995, Vader achieved huge success with WCW. Vader is a former three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and also a former WCW United States Champion.

Success in WWE

After departing WCW, Vader also appeared in WWE between 1996 and 1998. During his time with the promotion, Vader was a member of Camp Cornette, managed by Jim Cornette. Vader engaged in memorable feuds against the likes of Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and Kane.

Arguably, Vader's most memorable WWE moment came when The Mastadon attacked WWE President Gorilla Monsoon on an episode of Monday Night RAW in 1996, leading to his kayfabe suspension.

Vader's accomplishments for WCW, WWE, NJPW and AJPW are undeniable. As one of the best "big-men" to ever lace up a pair of boots, it feels inevitable that Vader will one day be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, Vader passed away in 2018, therefore his eventual WWE Hall of Fame induction will be done posthumously.
