Big Van Vader: Big Bear Is The Centerfold
I’m 35 years old, but in closeted gay years, you would have to divide that number by 2. So, I’m technically 14 and a half years old. Unlike most of our heterosexual brethren, who had pretty much lived “normal” lives, my adolescent growth had been “stunted,” so to speak. 99.99% of it is my fault as I’m cowardly about coming out of the closet. In a way, I still am; but as the years punish pass me by, I’ve grown to accept my decision of being a, well, loser. Lol. Whatevs. Talk to the hand. 😉
[EDIT: Lol. Someone had pointed out my unfortunate math skills. That would be 17 and a half years old.]
Anyway, with that emo moment out of the way, I just can’t believe that I have not posted about Leon Allen White — otherwise known as Big Van Vader, The Man They Call Vader, Vader, or just Amazingly Hot Bearish Wrestler of All-Time.
I remember always checking out the newsstands and bookstores to see the latest pro-wrestling magazines and hoping against hope that Vader would grace the covers. Lo and behold, he had and here are two close-up scans of two magazines that I still have in unbelievably pristine condition… Gee, I wonder why I own these two very specific magazines?
Here are other magazines Mr. Vader had shown up in. I’m a visual person, and when certain texts are superimposed against such vivid images, I just go nuts — literally. Check these out…
Can anyone STOP this INDESTRUCTIBLE MONSTER?
Vader CRUSHES Sting
IT’S CLOBBERING TIME
(Bonus: HE SHOOTS… HE SCORES)
MASTODON ON THE LOOSE!
CAN THE MAN THEY CALL VADER BE STOPPED?
Vader’s Vow Of Violence
“I’VE BEGUN MY SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF HULK HOGAN!” *
* I always admire massive mean men who use extensive vocabulary when making vows of violence.

I love the one where he’s a giant (“indestructable monster”) — do you have a bigger version of that?
Unfortunately, that wasn’t my scan nor did I have that magazine. Believe me, if I had a bigger scan, I’d post that instead of that rinky dink one. Trust me though, I’m gonna be hunting it down. 🙂
I remember Vader! Heck, looking back on it, there were a lot of really hot guys when I watched wrestling (from the early to late 90’s).
At the time, my crush was on Jeff Hardy, but now I think the sexiest wrestler that ever was was the one you already did a post on–Big Bossman.
Oh, and incindentally, I always thought Ric Flair’s curly blonde hair looked like chicken-flavored ramen.
Jeff Hardy? Um… Jeff Hardy? Um, like, Jeff Hardy? Wow, that caught me off-guard. Lol.
Thank the heavens you then mentioned Big Bossman. That was a close call.
And, yeah, Ric Flair’s blonde hair does look like chicken-flavored ramen. That should be a band name: “Ric Flair’s Chicken-Flavored Ramen’s Blonde Hair.”
I loved the big bossman, vader, rick steiner, arn anderson 😀
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it
seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
Do you know any methods to help stop content from being stolen?
I’d truly appreciate it.
