Guest Incandenza Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 I got this from a link on Fark.com: Police: Wrestler resisted arrest By Camera staff July 3, 2002 It took eight officers, two dogs and three sets of handcuffs to subdue Boulder's homegrown professional wrestler "Big Van Vader," who was suspected of drunken driving. Leon Allen White, 47, was arrested Monday night on suspicion of spitting and threatening officers with rocks, resisting arrest, drinking and driving, careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Members of the Colorado State Patrol and Boulder County Sheriff's Office responded at 8:30 p.m. to Bari Court and Whaley Drive regarding a sport utility vehicle that crashed into a bush. The suspect, who suffered a cut on the head, left the scene and drove a block away to his home, witnesses reported. When contacted by authorities, the 6-foot 4-inch 375-pound White told them he was looking for bullfrogs and catfish in a pond and crashed while driving home, according to an arrest report. Officers reported White seemed severely intoxicated and had to hold himself up on the door jam. White became belligerent with officers when asked about his level of intoxication and said: "I will and can kick all of your asses! Let's fight ...," according to the arrest report. Two of the deputies got their dogs out for protection. White stared the animals down and said he would kill them, the report said. At one point, White picked up two rocks the size of baseballs and clenched them in his fists, Trooper Scott Hinshaw said. He also is alleged to have spit toward the trooper, but missed. Eventually, officers were able to calm White down and he was handcuffed without incident. White played football for the University of Colorado and in the NFL before becoming a professional wrestler. He has competed worldwide as Big Van Vader and held numerous individual and tag-team titles. According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, he has two previous drinking and driving arrests in Boulder County.

Guest Incandenza Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 Can you imagine how much alcohol a man Vader's size would have to consume to be "severely intoxicated?" Crikey....
Guest buffybeast Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 Can you imagine how much alcohol a man Vader's size would have to consume to be "severely intoxicated?" Crikey.... An incredible amount. Catfish and bullfrogs? Can you imagine a man that size looking for bullfrogs? At night? And he stared down the dogs? LMAO!!! Who wants to bet that he would have mangled those poors dogs with his bare hands? Did they release the dogs on him? I didn't think so.

Guest dreamer420 Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 do you think anyone would try to fuck around with vader in jail?
Guest Nezbyte Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 do you think anyone would try to fuck around with vader in jail? No, but doesnt mean he wont be pimptastic in jail. Hell, i wouldnt fuck with Vader if he was semi-unconscience.
Guest dreamer420 Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 he'd have a whole stable of bitches probably
Guest saturnmark4life Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 How big is the guy's liver? Probly the size of big show's head.
Guest LesnarLunatic Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 Who thinks that this news is giving Vince the idea of bringing in "Big Drunk Vader"?
Guest dreamer420 Posted July 3, 2002 Report Posted July 3, 2002 i think he learned his lesson with the legion of drunks.
Guest FakeRazor Posted July 4, 2002 Report Posted July 4, 2002 Can you imagine being one of the cops trying to restrain him. With him threatening to throw rocks and crap? I'd be scared as hell...
Guest RetroRob215 Posted July 4, 2002 Report Posted July 4, 2002 Imagine a drunken Vader falling off the top of the Titan Tron like Hawk. Now that's funny.
Guest dreamer420 Posted July 4, 2002 Report Posted July 4, 2002 i just can't picture vader drunk though. he is just such a warrior in the ring and from what i have seen of him out of the ring he is a pretty gentle and decent man.
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted July 4, 2002 Report Posted July 4, 2002 In wrestling with shadows, bret said he is just a teddy bear. ive always heard that too.But if hes drunk im sure hed be a dick.
Guest Sandman9000 Posted July 4, 2002 Report Posted July 4, 2002 I bet Vader would have eaten the dogs. And I don't think that anyone is going to try and Bradshaw Vader in jail.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted July 4, 2002 Report Posted July 4, 2002 Unless Viscera is in the same jail cell, LOL
Guest HartFan86 Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 I want someone to explain why the fuck he was looking for bullfrogs. That's just hysterical.
Guest Austin3164life Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 i can't seem to get the thought of vader powerbombing a dog out of my head now. What about the Vader splash from the second rope......
Guest y2jailbait Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 Alright, time to book the perverbaial Steve Austin Vs. Vader Jailhouse match, with yours truly serving as special ref. Vader is a gentle man, the Wrestling with shadow's video shows it, but from personal experience, when i met him in 97 at a house show where i live, the man was the only Wrestler to stay and sign autographs, what a guy, but man his odor was so bad, i declined to get near him as he was signing. Hell of a guy though!
