Boy Meets World - Episode 74 - Guest Star Vader (1996-11-16)

[@miguelcorona6897]

Vader was an underrated actor and comic as well

[@michaelmeneses8824]

One of the best Boy Meets World episodes. Rest easy Mastadon 🙏🏼.

[@omars__volta]

It's of my top 10, most of my favorites are about Shawn and his family drama

[@tyvillianheartthrob1856]

Part of me wants Ben Savage to induct Vader into the WWE Hall of Fame

[@OX1994AU]

More like Ethan Suplee,Ben Savage and Rider Strong

[@ultimatemixmeister5127]

Yeah... about that...

[@enigmaticbeing666]

it's time it's time it's time it's VADER TIME!!! RIP VADER 🖖

[@Weebs82589]

Vader: I remember you little man, you’re in my son’s poetry class. You’re a bad influence! I should crush you like garlic and put you in my spaghetti! Cory: Hey that’s what you said to Sycho Sid at the Spectrum, the night you power-bombed him through the mat! Vader: You were there? Cory: I never miss a match. Vader: Now you see Frankie this boy’s a fan. I like this boy, why can’t you be this boy? Woof!

R.I.P Leon White 😥😢🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@quarantinebored1427]

I think this episode was to promote the 1996 survivor series. Frankie tells Shawn and Cory that if his father wins, he’ll have a wwf title match against Shawn Michaels at Madison square garden. This episode was aired 2 days before the show and survivor series was to take place at Madison square garden. The original plan was for Vader to wrestle Shawn and win the title at that event but it didn’t happen and we all know why.

[@Cameo131]

Probably not. Episodes were recorded about 8 months before its release date.

[@frostyfreezyfreeze54]

​@@Cameo131 For a live-action sitcom like BMW, episodes were written and filmed only a few weeks in advance. This episode had scenes filmed at an actual WWF house show in Anaheim, about a month before it aired.

[@hectorlopez1069]

I remember this episode of vader vs jake roberts. Brother love announcing the match.

[@Weebs82589]

RIP Vader. 🖖🏻

[@ThomasBoyce5000]

Vader and Ethan Supplé were great in this episode

[@DJB1PlanetFunksville]

Damn Vader was pretty good!!

[@billyjackoff]

Vader was the only one to almost make William Daniels break.

[@kenguitard1246]

It's vader time!!!!! Wwwoooooooof

[@tomtalker2000]

Leon had some skills as an actor. Just because of his sheer grizzly bear size. He shouldn't have gotten more small roles on TV. Ah well...He's ALWAYS going to be remembered as one of THE BEST big men to ever grace a squared circle. The WWE totally misused him and i know that was one of his biggest regrets. But the respect he got from the Japanese Puroresu fans over shadowed any of that.

This is awesome

[@abcsin6526]

Thank you for the upload.I m here after iyh buried alive podcast of something to wrestle with

[@hermanthetosser4219]

Just discovered these segments...

[@thunderwolf207summit5]

I wonder why the queued cheer didn't play when he came in. Maybe because no one would have recognized him at first.

[@caroljeeben7064]

There is an interview with the man who played Frankie, people hated Vander. Look up the Pod Meets World podcast if you haven't already. Topanga, Shawn and Eric are watching every episode and talking about them and interviewing the actors on the show. It's very funny and sad and all the good things.

[@hectorlopez1069]

It was ben savage big sitcom, boy meets world. I like his brother fred savage too.

[@frostbite585]

Wait were the kids really part of a WWF event??!

Of course Bruce would be in this lol

Right?

[@KatraPlessure]

A father episode ironic... Vader's trying to strengthen his bond with his boy Frankie and Jake the snake Roberts has 'issues" with his father's treatment of Jake as a young man. Ironic

[@alexcasares7401]

Don't worry Frankie. He's just mad because he got bullied by the Kliq

[@jokerswank6082]

I swear had the Snake not left for WCW back in 1992, he'd have had a more solid stint in the fed. Might've been good up to the attitude era seeing how his gimmick would still work unlike for example the Ultimate Warrior.

[@ExplisitHipHop]

Wiki made a mistake..they said King Kong was on this show...or did they think Bundy was Vader

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

i like this boy why can't you be this boy lmao !!!

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Dude, Ethan Suplee?

[@zarstar1576]

Vader talent

[@user-vj9qz3br6l]

Vader looks small compared to Ethan Suplee. Interestingly, Ethan is 6,1” and Vader was billed at 6,3” or 6,5” but is clearly a little shorter than Ethan

[@FrightF]

I think at worst theyre both the same height but certainly Ethan was bigger and at like 18 Ethan was a huge kid man. Id say Vader 6'2" but Ethan probably weighed more at probably close to 200kg or over if thats possible in 1996 for an 18 year old.
