Vader is one tough guy

Vader and Stan Hansen are two wrestlers known for their stiff work. These two often got into the ring together and at times, things went out of hand as well. One such instance happened in 1990 when Vader was wrestling as the representative of NJPW and Hansen wrestled at the representative of AJPW.

During the match, Hansen and Vader were exchanging blows and Hansen unintentionally poked Vader’s right eye with his thumb. This made Vader’s eye pop out of its socket. Vader, who showed great character, removed his mask, pushed his eye back into the socket and continued to wrestle the match.

The match was eventually announced as a no contest.
