spman 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 From Meltzer: Several returns are expected tonight at TV or tomorrow, somewhat out of the blue (none of which would be the major story if it happens). Mark Henry as a bodyguard for Coach is one of them, but would be the weakest (not in strength obviously but in name value) of the expected returns. Another name expected tonight is Vader. The Christian story will almost surely be addressed, and it's not an angle, at TV tonight because they can't have people going crazy and voting for him and making the company look bad, so they have to address him being off the ballot.

Fro 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 I expect Vader will job to Conway. This was Meltzer's earlier, very cryptic update. Today is going to be a very eventful today in the business and the departure of Christian, depending on how things play out, may turn out to be a minor story by the end of the day. Several returns are expected tonight at TV or tomorrow, somewhat out of the blue (none of which would be the major story if it happens). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't tell me this is just to have him job to Conway or some bullshit like that. Do any of you really want to see Vader, VADER, job to Conway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 Vader won't job to Conway. Much like with heel Valentine, we'll get Eugene running in for the DQ. Then Vader DESTROYS Eugene, and Duggan makes the save. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHK 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 Henry's 10-year contract, which he signed 1996, expires next year, so I'd expect this to be his last run with the company. Vader returning is both out of the blue and just......odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 If Conway beats MOTHER FUCKING VADER tonight, there is no God. Vader would not show up for a one night shot to put over Rob Conway. I just can't see that happening. And I say Mark Henry lifts someone up and tears a pec muscle. It'll be the new quad! There goes Mark Henry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 I thought Vader was totally retired anyway. When was the last time he worked anywhere? While we're talking about Vader, was it part of a storyline or what that time he lost to someone on a PPV, then as he was leaving the ring he said something along the lines of "I'm just a big piece of shit"?

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 Um, just to point out: Vader's last televised appearence, with TNA, had him looking HORRIBLE. Just because a guy goes to Japan doesn't mean they're suddenly top workers. Vader was kaput in 98. Don't let the puro marks made you actually believe that guys like Mike Barton, Steve Williams (post 98), Bull Buchanon, A-Train, etc. are actually any good or anything. _____________ For trivia purposes: Vader's last WWF apearence was jobbing clean in a short match to low-card/mid-card Edge (!) in fall '98.

Vader made a comeback and faced Kane at Over The Edge 98 where Kane beat him again. Then they tried to talk to Vader as he was going to the back. That's where that line came from.

Guest Ransome Report post Posted October 31, 2005 I didn't see this one coming. I do remember rumours about a Vader action figure not long ago, so I imagine he'll be on TV to 'reintroduce' him to the fans. I'm sure there are still some of the 'Attitude' boom fans they picked up in 1999 that have never even seen him. Or could Vader's appearance on TV signal some sort of future DVD featuring Vader (a la the Road Warriors DVD and Animal's subsequent winning of the tag titles)? I can't picture Vader getting his own 2-disc set, but I could see him on some sort of compilation DVD, 'Greatest Wrestling Stars of the 90s', or some such.
