Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vader passed out after a match at Korakuen Hall in Japan on Thursday.
He competed in a 6 man tag team match where he teamed up with Keiji Muto & AKIRA to face the team of Tatsumi Fujinami, Riki Choshu & Shiro Koshinaka.
After the match, there was a ceremony to honor the 45th anniversary of the debut of Tatsumi Fujinami and Vader passed out during this. However, Vader was able to recover and go out on his own. Below is a photo of Vader passed out during the event:
