Vader has been wrestling since 1985 and has competed all over the world. He also had a successful football career prior to wrestling. He played for the University of Colorado and was drafted to the National Football League, playing a few seasons.
Vader posted on twitter some very sad news regarding his health. He says that he only has two years to live due to his life as a wrestler and football player:

Horrible news for Vader. Sending him and his family best wishes in this time. Vader had a tremendous wrestling career and has wrestled all over the world.
Make sure to send Vader some love on twitter if you can! Never like hearing anything like this, especially from someone that you grew up watching.
