From his transition from football to professional wrestling, coming up through the AWA, his first international exposure with the Catch Wrestling Association, assuming the role of Big Van Vader in New Japan Pro Wrestling, to his time spent with World Championship Wrestling & the World Wrestling Federation, and eventual return to Japan for one last spectacular run.We assess the legacy of one of the greatest big men to ever enter professional wrestling.Music courtesy:"Arcane", "Cool Vibes", "Division", "Dub Feral", "Floating Cities", "Nerves", "The Second Coming" & "Darkness is Coming" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
