Vader Returns To RAW!

Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Vader made his return to WWE RAW, wrestling against Heath Slater. Vader pinned Slater via a Vader-Bomb. He had some trouble getting up and down, but didn’t look that bad for a 57 year old man who has had double knee replacements. Vader took to Twitter to let his fans know his thoughts on his return.

Wow what a fantastic night. I want to thank the @WWE from the bottom of my heart. I also want to thank all the fans for the love & Support.

…and then minutes later tweeting:

Vader looked way better than he did during his last return in 2005 (start video at 9:03 in and watch Vader fall all over the place):
