In a clip from the new Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw discussion series, Bradshaw shared what he and Vader discussed before their match at Breakdown: In Your House, which was to be Vader’s last WWE PPV appearance.
He told me before the match, “Today, you’re going to get the old Vader. I’m going to come out smoking. When you beat somebody today, you’re going to beat somebody. I’m going to leave on the right note.” I always thought that was pretty cool.
Brisco chimed in to confirm the story, saying that Vader wanted to work with Layfield for his final appearance, saying that he saw a future for the developing performer. Considering JBL’s considerable title success later in his career, Vader was right on the money.
