Vader challenges WWF Champion Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam, August 18, 1996, inside Gund Arena in Cleveland, in a chaotic title bout that ran through a count-out, a restart, a disqualification, and a second restart before Michaels retained the belt with a moonsault press. The match came during Vader's push as the promotion's top monster heel, following his earlier run in WCW as Big Van Vader.

About This Figure
Vader from Mattel's WWE Elite Collection line (Modern Era).
The Elite Collection brought collector-grade articulation to the mainstream WWE line — 30+ points of movement, interchangeable hands, and entrance accessories that quickly made each series a hunt.
Vader (Leon White) was one of wrestling's most dominant big men, holding the WCW World Heavyweight Championship three times in the early 1990s. His combination of size and agility was exceptional, and his Vader Bomb finisher was feared. He had notable runs in New Japan, All Japan, WWF, and WCW across a career spanning three decades.
