Former WCW Champion Big Van Vader was recently interviewed by Hannibal TV to discuss the illustrious story behind his fight with Paul Orndorff. You can check out what he had to say here:

Paul Orndorff continuing to tell his side of the story:

“Stop right there. Paul has been making a living talking about this night. One of the things he says, and you know what I understand Paul is sick. I understand he has throat cancer is that right? It’s hard to say this but, I was there that night and Paul had a crippled right hand. His right hand was the same size as my wrist all the way up to his shoulder. That’s the hand he hit me with. Real quick, I gotta tell the story because I’ve heard — Paul won’t let it die still. 20 years ago he was saying this, and today he’s still saying this. He’s still doing interviews about it. One of the things he says is ‘I got five extra years on my contract’ and kinda smiles. I need to speak out because I never have really.”

What actually happened between him and Paul:

“This is the honest to God’s truth. Eric Bischoff called me at eight in the morning at the Marriott and said ‘Leon, you have promised me pictures or a photoshoot for weeks, you have to do them today or you’re fired. I’m not kidding.’ So hey, you get up and you go. Four hour photoshoot, grueling and exhausting.

So I sit down, he comes in, and he says ‘You’re fu*king late, why are you late?’ I said ‘Paul, didn’t someone tell you? I’m f*cking doing this photo shoot. Didn’t Eric tell you?’ He said ‘No nobody told me a f*cking thing.’ And I said ‘Well that doesn’t give you a reason to f*cking mistreat me.’

“Then I said ‘If that’s not good enough for you then you can go f*ck yourself, because I’ve had it, because I’m not getting cussed out by you, you’re not my boss.’ And he though he was. And I had been told specifically that during that period of time Dusty Rhodes was my boss. And Eric Bischoff, those two. Other than that no one is above you. Those two guys. He turned around and walked out, and Terry Taylor comes in and gets me ‘Leon, regardless of where you were we gotta do some interviews.’ I got my mask, took my shirt off, got my rubber hose so I could pump up, and I’m running to do the interviews. Paul steps in and blocks me from doing the interviews and called me everything in the book and threatened me, …
