BoyMeetsWorld star Will Friedle recalls earning the admiration of legendary wrestler Big Van Vader during his guest spot on the beloved sitcom: 'Couldn’t have met a nicer guy.'
Will Friedle says that wrestling legend Big Van Vader commented on how well he handled himself during their iconic match on Boy Meets World. Friedle starred alongside Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel, and Rider Strong throughout all seven seasons of the beloved sitcom. Boy Meets World follows the life and misadventures of the Matthews brothers, Cory and Eric . The television series first debuted on ABC in 1993 as part of their primetime programming known as TGIF.
Each show typically involves some type of comedic mishap that ultimately leads to a life lesson. One such incident happened in an episode during Boy Meets World season 2 when Cory decides to make a name for himself in high school by joining the wrestling team. However, once Cory defeats his opponent for a spot on the team, he is relentlessly bullied and coerced into an unsanctioned rematch.
"He gave me a wonderful compliment one day when we were rehearsing and he lifts me up, benches me twice, and then throws me over his shoulder. Afterward, he said, 'You know, you do that better than some of the pros I’ve worked with.' I think he was probably saying it tongue-in-cheek, but it was still such a wonderful compliment. Couldn’t have met a nicer guy."
The Wrestling Hall of Famer's compliment shouldn’t be taken lightly considering Vader was no novice to the ring, spending 33 years in the profession. During the Boy Meets World scene, Vader grips Friedle by the neck and hoists him horizontally above his head. He does a quick military press with Friedle before flaunting him around the ring, drooped over his shoulder.
Sadly, Big Van Vader passed away in 2018 due to pneumonia and heart complications. The icon left behind an impressive legacy, being crowned champion in multiple wrestling organizations including the WWE and WCW. Friedle never pursued a wrestling career, something probably for the best considering his stature. However, the Boy Meets World star is able to say that he went toe to toe with one of the sport's largest names and was able to walk away with words of Vader’s admiration.
