As we previously reported, former WCW Champion Vader passed out during an appearance at a Japanese show yesterday (Thurs. April 20, 2017)
Vader took part in a Six Man Tag Match in which he teamed with Keiji Muto & AKIRA to take on Tatsumi Fujinami, Riki Choshu & Shiro Koshinaka. After the match during a ceremony to honor Fujinami, Vader passed out inside the ring. He eventually was able to get up and walk out on his own.
Today Vader took to Twitter to comment on what happened, and said that he collapsed because he was dropped on his head during the match:
