The WWE briefly welcomed Vader back in 2016 when he inducted colleague and in-ring rival Stan Hansen into the company’s Hall of Fame.
Several WWE legends and superstars took to Twitter when the news broke to memorialize the wrestler, and fans responded with hopes the company inducts him into the Hall of Fame posthumously.
The WWE top brass opted out of inducting Vader as well at the time, despite pushes from other notable wrestlers encouraging them to do so.
The WWE’s official Twitter account released a statement regarding Vader’s death, as well as content remembering his career in the WWE.
