MMA great Chael Sonnen recently went off on Big Van Vader after the pro wrestling legend no-showed his slot on the You’re Welcome, With Chael Sonnen podcast. The former UFC star noted that he jumped through several hoops to get Vader on his show, which he did as a favor for someone else.
After waiting a full half hour into his podcast, Sonnen had tried texting Vader and even called him live on the air, but got no response. He stated that the interview was a way to give the big man an opportunity, as he recently informed fans via Twitter that, according to doctors, he had two years left to live due to congestive heart failure.
“…This guy is a carny, a flake; he was writing me like he was drunk, illiterate, dumb, or just getting ready to set me up from the jump,” said Sonnen on his show. And while he didn’t specifically mention what happened, Chael noted that he did something for Vader at the last minute after he was approached with some kind of deal, but the former WCW Champion didn’t follow through on his end and obviously blew off the show. He called Vader a “thief” and a “scumbag”.
