His wrestling name was Big Van Vader and damn was he entertaining. His wrestling career started in the AWA and his career took off from there.
Vader had some classic matches especially against Mick Foley in the NWA. A big man with great agility and speed. When White hit you, you knew you had been hit.
Before entering the squared circle White was a football player with the Los Angeles Rams. He was WCW Heavyweight Champion 3 times and he also appeared in New Japan Pro Wrestling as well as WWE and TNA.
He passed away on June 18th, 2018 at the age of 63 from pneumonia. A great athlete and entertainer he will be missed by wrestling fans around the world.
