Also don't know if you ever review the tugboat one from RF you can skip that one. Doesn't really badmouth anyone I think I already reviewed it. KC's "Back to the Territories" with Hansen and Eadie will be reviewed. It'll be on a case by case scenario for their other releases.

culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/vadershoot1/We travel back to 1998 for Big Van Vader's very first shoot interview. We hear about his upbringing in the mean streets of Los Angeles, his gridiron success in college, his Super Bowl experience, what gave him the itch to start wrestling, his training, working with stiff monsters like Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody, AWA payoffs, being courted by Inoki and Baba and more! I added as much relevant video footage as possible to help capture Vader's story.
