Does anyone have any pics of Vader w/ the Triple Crown??

I know it's not too likely but I'd love to see Vader come back to All Japan before he retires. His matches with Muto, Tenryu, Goldberg, Kojima and Kea would be great. Also I don't think he's ever faced Kojima and Kea before and I know he's definatley never took on Goldberg. He must have took on Muto in early NJPW days, same for Tenryu, but all three have improved since then and they would be great matches. Also it would be cool to see his tag team with Steve Williams again which was annoyingly cut short a few years ago.
It always boggles me how people don't realize just how great Vader has been throughout the years, and how tough the guy is legit. If you'll remember it took 8 cops, 3 handcuffs and 2 dogs to subdue him when he was so drunk he could barely stand while holding onto the door. We talk a lot about who the greatest TC champ was, or who the greatest IWGP Champ was, but if you look at who the greatest wretling champion has been over the last 20 years yu'd be hard pressed to say it wasn't Vader. The only black mark on his career is HBK's politics keeping him down. That and Ric Flair and Hogan's constant refusing to job to him. Am I the only one who would empty my bank account to see Vader get his hands on Hogan? It's not like it wouldn't be an unfair fight agewise, I'm pretty sure Hogan only has a year or 2 on Vader. You'd never guess it by watching them work though.
does anyone remember the part in Wrestling With Shadows when Vader is lacing up his boots and saying how he is a liscensed Real Estate Broker and was currently working on an x Acre estate or something. Ive gotta think Vader is a great guy too, probably one who always gives back to his fans and such, I could be wrong but he seems like that kinda guy...I mean he did show up on Boy Meets World numerous times, even with the US Title

I have to agree. Vader is perhaps the most sucessful gai-jin ever, short of only Hansen or Lou Thesz; wherever he's gone, (aside from The Circus) he's touched championship gold and been a highlight of the promotion. I'd love to see him work in the US one last time before he retires; maybe he'll wrestle for IRON some time. I'd drive from Long Island to Hayward, California to see that.
