5 Great moments in Vader's career

#4 Injuring Sting

Sting is another illustrious name on the list of Vader’s victims!

While Vader was first signed by WCW in 1990, he didn’t appear there on a full-time basis until 1992. When he did go full-time, he quickly ascended to the World Heavyweight Championship picture against Sting in April of that year.

During a match, The Mastodon took to the top rope and came crashing down with his massive 450-plus pound frame across the torso of the bleached blond icon, cracking Sting’s ribs and rupturing his spleen in the process. Though he failed to gain the championship that evening, he made it known to all wrestling fans that he would be a force to be reckoned with.
