Show Notes
On this episode of Grilling JR, we are taking you back to a very special and candid conversation JR had with the late great Leon White aka Big Van Vader. Big Van Vader grew up in Compton, CA, played college football in Colorado, spent a few years in the NFL with the Rams, and found pro wrestling after injuries ended his pro career... and he's telling all those stories & more on The Ross Report! Hear what inspired his mask & gimmick, why he preferred working with Shawn Michaels over Ric Flair, what really happened when Stan Hansen popped Vader's eye out, and which title match was the most special for him.
