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?
