Big Van Vader has only been given 2 years to live due to heart issues,Mick Foley is lobbying for Vader to be inducted into the 2017 hall of fame class.This has to happen.
God bless Leon.

I feel like this will get enough fan support that WWE almost has to induct him. Hopefully Big Van's well enough to go. >_>

I'm not even a huge Vader fan, but he should have been put into the HOF long before now.

I saw a link to an article about this on Facebook. As soon as I read the headline "Sad News", I feared the worst.
I hope he is able to be inducted, while he is still here.

I was pretty surprised to learn he isn't already in it.

He was such a hit when he inducted Stan Hansen last year that i think this would have happened anyway.

Yup, get him in dammit.
And then let him have a run destroying jobbers and WWE dorks.
If he leaves us soon, let him leave the business the way he came in.
DO IT.

Not saying I don't believe him, but this would be one hell of a way to cut in line to get inducted sooner.
Granted, he should've been in there years ago.

Even for a guy who disappointed for various reasons (usually not his fault) almost every time he was in WWE, he was a guy who the fans always bought into, and he deserves it on his WCW status alone.

He did a good thing by squishing Gorilla Monsoon, right?

With Goldberg rumored to headline and Vader needing to be inducted soon then they may as well make it a WCW themed year. DDP for sure and Harlem heat for the tag induction. |

Because I'm not opposed to him going in, in a WCW-themed year. |

Because I'm not opposed to him going in, in a WCW-themed year. Don't think so (although not sure what terms he's on with the company, IIRC he did act like a dick towards them during his TNA debacle) and that would round it off by having the manager/non wrestler role filled. For international induction they could do Giant Haystacks although that's reaching a tad as it's posthumous and he was only there for a short run. |

My preference for an International WCW induction would be Finlay or Akira Hokuto. Maybe Muta if they can get him somehow. |

Kinda surprises me Vader isn't in already. He's more than deserving.

This is disheartening news, loved the big guy. Should WWE give his son another chance?

He definitely should be in the HoF. Just like he definitely should've been WWF champ, but that's a whole other can of worms.
If they don't put him in while he's still here, they're on a whole other level of asshole.

He should have been inducted years ago, and even disregarding this awful news, they should still do it ASAP. The WWE is no longer a universe in a bubble, and they've been acknowledging the existence and importance of other promotions for a while now. Never mind his WCW dominance, this is the dude who squashed Inoki in his NJPW debut!
I really hope he pulls through and proves the doctors wrong. I've been a fan of superheavyweight destroyer type wrestlers since my childhood, and Vader is one of the all time greatest.

His eye popped out in a match with Stan Hansen, he pushed it back in and carried on..... yeah, he deserves to be put in for his toughness alone.
As I typed in Micks original facebook thread this year should be (after Goldberg who is already going in, even though he wouldn't be my choice) Vader, DDP, Molly Holly or Victoria, Shamrock and the Fabulous Rougeaus. With possibilities as Sid, Christian, Bam Bam, Sean Waltman and Triple H and Daniel Bryan.
