Leon White grew in Compton before taking on the world. His impressive college football days led him to the NFL and ultimately the Super Bowl. Reinventing himself as a wrestler, he battled monsters in the ring like Bruiser Brody and Jerry Blackwell, until given his own monster-like gimmick in Japan. As “Big Van Vader," he defeated Antonio Inoki for the IWGP title and had his eyeball knocked out of his head by Stan Hansen, initiating his own legendary status. Taking on all the top names and winning titles around the world, this mastodon became “The Greatest Super Heavyweight of All Time.” Read how his reign of terror continued even after being hit with an expiration date of only “two years to live.” This is the story of his life …and a legacy that will last forever. This is Vader Time.
