• Backstage News On Vader’s WWE Hall Of Fame Induction
According to the Wrestling Observer, former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vader won’t be getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year as well, as Vince McMahon has some other names in mind that he wants to work on right now:
“It would look like Vader, who Mick Foley has been heavily pushing for, won’t be put in. Vader is a no-brainer, but it’s the audience of one.”
Vader passed away in June 2018.
