5 Great moments in Vader's career

#3 Attacking WWE President Gorilla Monsoon

For months leading up to his debut, WWE teased audiences with vignettes featuring Vader. His manager, James E. Cornette, would preach Vader’s accolades in a warning for all in the WWE to take notice. After debuting in the Royal Rumble the previous night, Vader crushed Savio Vega in his singles debut on Monday Night Raw.

Following the victory, Vader would continue to assault Vega, before assaulting officials in retaliation for interfering with his assault of Vega. Enter longtime fan favourite and WWE President, Gorilla Monsoon.

Monsoon, a legendary big man in his own right, put his hands on Vader and verbally berated him, before turning his back to check on a fallen official. Vader retaliated by assaulting Monsoon in the corner and taking him out with multiple Vader Bombs.

While he would be suspended for his actions, Vader’s Monday Night Raw debut, established him as a man who showed no respect or remorse for anyone, who dare step in his path.
