Added DiffLines:

* TheDreaded: His WrestlingMonster character, obviously, but also to an extent in real life. Despite generally being a sweet guy outside of the ring, Vader's stiffness so terrified people that Wrestling/MickFoley claimed he saw rookies [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quit WCW on the spot]] when told they were to work a match with him.

Per this thread, this is misuse due to troping the real life person, which violates NRLEP.


* DownerEnding: His death from heart failure at the age of 63. While he didn't die ''young'' as such, the real tragedy is that WWE refused to induct him into the Hall of Fame while he was alive, despite ''two'' classes going by since the diagnosis of his heart problems without them asking him and Vader ''desperately'' wanting to be inducted (as recounted by good friend Mick Foley), which cannot be interpreted as anything other than a callous intentional snubbing by WWE.

* TheBrute: Made a career out of it. It helps that he's a legit tough guy inside and outside the ring.
