I am surprised to hear about this, I had breakfast with Vader earlier this year at Wrestle Reunion 6 and Vader was really cool with me.
They assigned me the seat next to Vader and, since most of the other fans at that table instead wanted to talk to Colt Cabana (who I have met many times before,) I spent most of that breakfast talking to Vader personally and he told me all these cool stories about wrestling in Japan and WCW.
- As reported Saturday, WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race and his former protégé in World Championship Wrestling, Vader, engaged in a physical altercation at that day's "Legends of the Ring" convention in Monroe, New Jersey.
According to Rob Feinstein, who witnessed the scuffle, tensions escalated after Race voiced his disapproval with Vader behaving belligerent toward fans.
Feinstein wrote on Facebook, "Vader was in a foul mood the entire day which is typical of him. He started to talk nasty to a few fans and Race did not approve. Race told Vader not to disrespect the fans as they are paying to see them. Vader made a smart ass comment which pissed Harley off. Harley who is crippled now struck Vader in the head with a punch. Vader when to strike back but instead hit a promoter who was standing near by. The promoter from what I told had to get a ice pack and Vader walked out of the room. That was basically how it went down and I am shocked that Vader would do that in front of the fans. I was waiting for Orndorff to do a run in."
