WWE Legend and WCW wrestler Vader posted on his official Twitter Monday night that he was told from his doctor that he has two years to live due to congestive heart failure.
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley chimed in on his Facebook page and explaining why he felt Vader deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He posted this:
"IT'S TIME...TO PUT VADER IN THE HALL OF FAME
I have been talking with Leon White the past few weeks, so I knew the news might be coming. But seeing it in print this morning was a shock nonetheless. Leon is dying. He has been told by doctors that he may have less than two years left to live. His legacy is so important to him, and he has told me that being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame would mean so much on both a personal and professional level. On a global level, Vader was one of the greatest attractions the pro wrestling business has ever seen. I have talked with people at the highest levels at WWE, and hope and pray that Leon's name will be included in the class of 2017 Hall of Fame inductees."
