I initially started this off by wondering if it was Goldberg, then Shamrock popped in my mind. Shamrock debuted in WWF in February of 1997, and Goldberg didn't show up in WCW until September of the same year.
The only other guess I would have before Shamrock is maybe some guys involved in whatever that shoot-style shit was in Japan (UWFi?) or maybe even someone outside of that. Not well versed enough in puro to hazard a good guess.

Did Vader wear MMA gloves in Japan and WCW? I don't know enough about MMA to know what is or isn't considered their gloves.

Echoing Urn to say Vader was almost certainly wearing them before Shamrock, but I am unsure if Shamrock wore them when he was wrestling prior to MMA training, and I don't know if other people beat Vader to doing it in mainstream wrestling.

Didn't Aja Kong wear MMA gloves? Absolutely, yes. Still blows my mind she busted out a package piledriver on WWF TV in like, what, '95? Of course, it also scared the hell out of WWF and kept them from booking her again, but hey. |
