Leon Allen White, (born May 14, 1955) also known by his ring names Big Van Vader or simply Vader, is an American semi-retired professional wrestler. White spent the majority of his career with promotions World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), and All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in the 1990s. A super heavyweight wrestler capable of aerial maneuvers such as the moonsault (voted by ''Wrestling Observer'' readers as the "Best Wrestling Maneuver" for 1993), White competed as both a face and a heel. Among other accolades in WCW and Japan, he won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship (the first non-Japanese holder) and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship three times each, the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship once, and won the battle royal main event of the 1993 Battlebowl pay-per-view. Although he never held a championship in the WWF, White challenged for all of the promotion's heavyweight titles, including multiple WWF Championship matches on pay-per-view and cable television.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWF matches wrestled by Vader )〕 White was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1996. == Professional football career == White played offensive line at the University of Colorado.
