A Few Random Reasons Why Big Van Vader Is My Favorite Wrestler

2 of 4

Reason #1: At Starrcade ’92, Vader wore a do-rag for no reason at all

I was kinda young in ‘92 and I remember watching that year’s Starrcade. But for the life of me I can’t remember Vader wearing a do-rag to the ring. Was he always doing this and I just missed it? Oh, and right before the match, Harley Race unties the do-rag for him in almost ceremony fashion? What? Was Vader trying to get them waves spinning?

Sidenote #1: Jesse “The Body” Ventura was commentating that night too and he wore a Malcolm X hat.

Sidenote #2: I showed this to King Jerm while he was in town and he immortalized it in a Vine.
