On this day in Pro Wrestling History: In 1992, Vader would once again win the WCW Championship by defeating Ron Simmons. The Mastodon was back on top!

This one is for the #NWAFam - Post his tenure in the @WWE. @itsvadertime spent a lot of time working in Japan. If you could re-write history, would you have Vader get dates with the @NWA? Would you have bought a ticket to see Vader as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion?
