@bigredsweetiepie I've always thought that the most interesting videos and photos are Japanese ones.

Big Van/Super Vader

Vader, while not being being in the top 10 wrestlers of all time, may have made the most impact in wrestling if anyone.

If there was no Vader, he couldn't be brought in to beat Inoki in less than 5 minutes, which would mean there'd be no Sumo Hall riot.

No Sumo Hall riot means there's no UWF reborn. Which means no rise of Takada.

No UWF reborn means no UWFi for Takada to really become a star and Vader to compete in.

No Vader & no super hot series that really made UWFi with Takada.

Without the UWFi there'd be no NJPW vs UWFi invasion angle in Japan.

No UWFi invasion means that Eric Bischoff couldn't steal the gimmick for the NWO.

No NWO and no Monday Night Wars between the WCW and WWE which means no attitude era.

Back in Japan, no Takada and we'd not have PRIDE which means no Royler, Renzo or Sakuraba.

No reborn UWF means no Akira Maeda in RINGS meaning no Volk Han, Kopylov or Kohsaka.

No RINGS means no King of Kings tournament which means RINGS never goes full legit shoot.

RINGS not doing full legit shoots means that Emelianenko Fedor never appears on the scene.

Also - No Sumo Hall Riot means that Fujiwara doesn't leave NJPW to form Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi with his trainees: Funaki, Suzuki and Shamrock.

Without Pro Wrestling Fujiwara Gumi and Fujiwara not wanting his stars to fight legit, Funaki, Suzuki and Shamrock would never have formed Pancrase.

No Pancrase and means that Minoru Suzuki and Ken Shamrock never become huge stars.

No Pancrase and Shamrock never comes to the UFC and doesn't become the foil to Royce Gracie.

Was the sumo hall riot drama legit? Did #NJPW have to cut wrestler pay, which sent young rising stars trained by Maeda & Fujiwara elsewhere?

Or was it an Inoki angle gone awry? Was it all on him, or was it just an effect of a million things happening backstage with Chosu, Maeda & who knows who-else?

I just found it fitting that Vader welcomed the first shooter into the WWE as a star: Ken Shamrock.
