ravenlo Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Hey guys, last I heard about Vader, he was fired for breaking a table in World Japan, and Rotundo was in All Japan...anyone know?
Guest ligerbomb03 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 He was fired for breaking a table?
Slayer Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 You know how much one of those old Japanese tables costs?! Vader has shamed his fed
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 That table was 2 days away from retirement! ....bastard
Steviekick Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Who cares about the table....Mike Rotundo's still wrestling?
Guest Black Tiger Posted November 20, 2003 Report 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.
ravenlo Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report 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?
Guest The Son of Sting Posted November 20, 2003 Report 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.
Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Funniest story I have read in a while.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted November 21, 2003 Report 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.
ravenlo Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Posted November 21, 2003 Wow, Vader was beat up by the yakuza? Ha, wonder how that happened.
Guest The Son of Sting Posted November 21, 2003 Report 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.
The Buzz Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 The last I heard about Vader was the false "Vader Dead" reports from a month or so ago.
Guest The Son of Sting Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Rotundo i think last wrestled for IWA Japan. Vader's last match was againt Don Frye in WJ.
ravenlo Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Posted December 3, 2003 When did he fight Frye if you don't mind me asking?
