On his official Facebook page, Mick Foley campaigned for Vader to get into the WWE Hall of Fame. Our apologies, as generally we do not include an entire quote form a Facebook page, but we thought it would be relevant in this case.
From Mick Foley:
“IT'S TIME...TO PUT VADER IN THE HALL OF FAME
I have been talking with Leon White the past few weeks, so I knew the news might be coming. But seeing it in print this morning was a shock nonetheless. Leon is dying. He has been told by doctors that he may have less than two years left to live. His legacy is so important to him, and he has told me that being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame would mean so much on both a personal and professional level. On a global level, Vader was one of the greatest attractions the pro wrestling business has ever seen. I have talked with people at the highest levels at WWE, and hope and pray that Leon's name will be included in the class of 2017 Hall of Fame inductees.”
From our take, Vader, who while he succeeded more in the WCW and in Japan, is a WWE Hall of Famer through and through. He is currently ranked #24 on our Notinhalloffame.com list.
In our eyes, this is not a case of Vader getting fast tracked to the WWE Hall because he may not be with us in two years, rather it is a scenario where this is a performer who deserves to be in period.
We are hoping that Leon White will get to see this wish come true.
