It’s interesting to hear this story from a Vader now that he’s sober and totally cleaned up his act.  This – along with the Arn Anderson/Sid Vicious scissors incident – has always been one of those fascinating backstage stories in my book.

There’s actually perfectly valid reasons for posting this regardless considering Eric Bischoff and Sting are mentioned in the story : )

I was always a big fan of Vader too–how could you not be a fan of a 450 pound man who moonsaults off the top rope? Although I’ve also heard that he could be stiff in the ring, I remember Mick Foley saying that in an interview once.

I actually never heard this story before, pretty interesting.

I’m not sure any backstage story can top Bret Hart punching Vince McMahon in the face though.
