I was never big into the whole wrestling scene when I was a kid but even I had heard of Big Van Vader. That dude was an animal, standing at 6”5 and weighing a whopping 29 stone.
I came across a video of his recently that was probably one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen in wrestling history, so naturally I had to share it with you lot. The video was taken during Vader’s early days and shows Vader fighting Stan Hansen in an epic match. The pair are totally hammering each other in what seems like a normal wrestling match, that is until Vader’s fucking eyeball pops out!!! If that wasn’t gruesome enough, Vader casually pops of back in like it’s no big deal. I’d also like to add that Vader also had his nose broken by Hanson at the beginning of the match so it was proper brutal. Take a look:
Grim! The craziest thing is that the guys kept fighting for nearly half an hour after the whole eyeball popping incident. Goddamn, what a legend. They don’t make’em like that anymore!
