Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted November 20, 2003 When Mutoh took over AJPW for real, he replaced a lot of the gaijin with more shitty gaijin so odds are Rotundo was one of the victims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravenlo 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 About the table....I believe Meltzer reported it a few months ago, which was basically him breaking a table backstage and was fired for it(sounds very bizarre). Are Rotundo and Vader still active in the ring now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Son of Sting Report post Posted November 20, 2003 I think Vader is pretty much done in Japan.There was a story in the Observer a few months ago that he got messed up by some Yakuza,that could have something to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted November 21, 2003 I think they both fall under the category of semi-retired as they wrestle on occasion, but not enough to be considered full time wrestlers anymore. Vader I haven't seen AT ALL since his TNA show, and Rotundo was in Japan last year, but since then, heard nothing about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravenlo 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2003 Wow, Vader was beat up by the yakuza? Ha, wonder how that happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Son of Sting Report post Posted November 21, 2003 If i remember correctly Vader said or did something that pissed of said Yakuza who gave him a real beating and gave him a few stab wounds for his trouble.When he was in TNA he wore a shirt to cover up the stab wounds as it was around that time frame. I will dig out the Observer just to check i was right on the details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
