#RVD #WWE #paulheyman
How would you rate WWE’s booking of RVD back in 2001? Let us know in the comments.
He always deserved a bigger push and him getting the boot as champion over getting caught with weed which is virtually legal almost everywhere now is bullshit.
He was over right away, they booked him good in the early days because as kids we liked him even though he was on the enemy team
I think they booked RVD good 2001 cause he was over over with everybody and the most popular alliance member......he should've been the 1st undefeated hardcore champion til wrestlemania where he won the IC belt.....2002 RVD push was 👎when HHH came back......then it got back on track summer and then HHH brung the shovel🤦♂️......took RVD 4yrs after that to win the WWE title even that had interference smh RVD should've been bigger than what he was.......still a legend ROB VAN DAM
@@HartmanHovic agree all over weed but the older guys would get busted Coked out or bags of pills an virtually no punishment but RVD gets busted with weed gotta lay down in the ring and take that loss!
He should have been pushed to the stars
I met him at Wrestlecon and told him i wished he never left WWE. Then...as he was leaving the event he passes by me and says Have a great weekend and remembered my name too...i totally fanboyed that moment.
I want to see him Have one more match and face Austin Theory
As far as In Ring performers go, RVD was always at the very top level
Superfights was one of the first times I saw Van Damme. It was a movie...really good action movie from 1995. He was so unique in his brief appearance, but as a kid blown away seeing wreslers in movies.
@@Mark_Knight You should check out the movie Wrong Side Of Town. RVD is the main character and it's pretty cool
Well done for adding this comment to the comments section.
@@Grandmaster_Sub-ZeroWill be checking that out!!
This video alone is proof that WWE is not worth burdening your mental health and that goes for any job.
RVD is one of my ALL TIME favourites! :) ONE OF A KIND!
I remember how excited the crowds were when RVD would show up. WWE didnt know how over he was with the crown until his match with Jeff Hardy. The one with the tiger striped tights. After that, RVD started to get a more air time. The problem was he was scripted, and he wasn't sounding like the ECW RVD.
The general public wouldn’t have known ECW RVD. He buried himself by smoking weed and not wanting to grow with the times.
There comes a time where you need to grow up and realize the days of the dangerous 90’s stuff is over and you have potential to be a huge player. He seemed to live in the past rather than adapt to the times.
It’s too bad too.. he was very over. Would love to hear Heyman’s opinion.
Dude I’ll never forget that match. Both of them I loved and seeing that match was insane
@@jordteps1775 they had their opportunities in the early 2000s, they only gave it to him in 2006
@@jordteps1775 what are you waffling about 😂
@@jordteps1775 So many clowns like you judging him because he smokes weed. It never gets old. Meanwhile some of WWE's BIGGEST stars were all on heavier drugs lile coke and crack, and pumping themselves full of painkillers, drugs, alcohol, and steroids... but people want to judge RVD for smoking weed... hypocrites.
His Heyman impression is pretty solid
Trauma will do that to ya lol
Have you seen RVDs impression of Shawn Michaels ? 🤣
It’s understandable why he had such a hard time going over there. So much talent heading over at the time of the invasion, would make sense the hesitation. Everyone loves RVD however, was an easy transition. Truly one of a kind.
Such a unique performer. Even today nobody at his size does stuff like him
Top five most innovative wrestlers I ever saw
He wrestled at a time when each wrestler was unique.
You could say, he’s one of a kind
Gotta love RVD. RVD is massively underrated. I don’t feel either he gets the credit he deserves. I like all the ECW guys… there wasn’t one I disliked. Just a shame Vince using Triple H and fucking John Cena, disregarding Booker T, Rey Mysterio, RVD, etc etc etc . Great wrestlers from WCW and ECW just didn’t get the recognition because they came from WCW or ECW
I want women to look at me the way Katie Forbes looks at RVD.
@EBC-ENT LMAO
Get famous and get rich
Everything about her is fake , good choice 🤣🤦🤣
Can you imagine "Robber" Van Damme?! Like, wearing the Repo Man mask?!?! OMG.
With the stuff RVD did, I reckon he'd get it over.
I used to lose so much spamming his back point emote on SvR
RVD has such an interesting perspective. Like I love the vid where he's talking about how basically all Wrestling promos are the same. Just pure arrogance and finding new ways to say "I'm the best".
Like...yeah...stripped of all the bells and whistles, that's pretty true.
Its amazing to think that over 20 years ago, WWE was the only game in town in terms of the public audience
Crazy being young and not realizing RVD was basically ECWs John Cena. Sales/popularity wise
RVD will always be one of my favorites.
Even though he was in the Alliance he was like their only babyface. Just goes to show how over he was. His run in 01-03 was spectacular.
Stacy Keibler was cheered as well in The Alliance. That's to be expected though since most of the audience are men.
And torrie wilson
surprise surprise lol
RVD is my favorite of all time 💯 I'm always looking for new video's of him on UA-cam. Even tho I've seen this whole interview b4 still glad I came across this clip.
his JBL impression is still the best
“Hell yeah, oh hell yeah!!”
His Shawn Michael's one too
The ECW guys were such idiots. Taking crazy chances and damages for missing paycheques.
if that was a regular job where you don't have any fans: yeah.
Why would RVD, who is absolutely awesome, would sit his wife next to him? Wearing that ridiculous cash outfit. If she contributed, I would understand but, sharing the stage with him looked completely out of place. Specially that odd glare she had on him the whole time. Looks like a mannequin!
Always been an RVD fan since ECW.
RVD recently decided to do the same as I did. No sugar diet and it works wonders. He looks great!
He looks broken
He looks fatter than ever
I havent eaten sugar in 2years
Who is this female sitting next to RVD
His wife
"I couldnt be happier" doesnt sound too frustraring.
These clickbait headlines turn people off to the content, which is a shame because the content, although slightly dated and repeated, is pretty good.
I liked your comment and agree for the most part, but to be fair he does tell a detailed frustrating situation he would run into after jumping ship to WWE. Starts around 3:47
Who is the girl to his right??
She looks like a caucus lil Kim
RVD always keeping it 💯
The Geisha next to RVD with the dollar bill dress 😅😅😅
That's Katie Forbes. His wife.
His wife is just staring at him the whole time. She is SO focused on him. Lucky guy!
I wanna see Van Dam & Riddle work a tag program together... I'd pop so hard for Team 420!
the only thing they will be tag teaming is the bong 🤣🤣🤣
I hate riddle, him wrestling without boots is like needles poking my eyes
I've always been a Jean-Claude Van Damme fan and since Rob Van Dam is similar I'm also a RVD fan as well 😉👌
i legit thought they were brothers when i was a child. They look so similar, and both do jumping spin kicks www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/RVD.jpg
@@starchaser8656same
@@starchaser8656 Did they ever meet? I always wanted to know.
wtf is that sidechick wearing....
RVD is the biggest non "face of the company" wrestler in WWE history.
RVD's Wife is 20 years younger than him but still looks same age as him.
She doesn't look old at all stop being a hater and you need a girlfriend
😂😂😂
A compliment to Rob or a criticism of her surgeon? 😂
@@edutainme7265 Her Surgeon, Obviously.
A joint a day keeps the doctor away
I thought wrestling the goal was to not hurt your opponent so you can continue to sell out. That being said Idk if chairshots like Rock to Shamrock or Foley, Taker to Kennedy, Hardy to Lesnar etc... Was gimmicked but if it was it got the effect across.
WWF doesn't have gimmick chairs
Hard to believe with his spiritual views, his wife is so made up
Sounds like a normal business it’s cutthroat everyone is aiming for the top trying to get ahead
Mr. Monday Night RVD 420 and by TNA he became No Job Rob barely losing a match
Anybody that went to WWE sold out
My favorite wrestler of ALL TIME
The time Haitch spent burying RVD behind the scenes or at any possible chance could give him years of life back
Matt riddle sounds exactly like rvd 😂
The whole F’n Show…. My favorite wrestler of all time.
Perfect example of a complete package and good at everything
Wow Katie beautiful, looking at her more than RVD.
I love his interviews. Asks great questions, actually let's them talk, doesn't interrupt. Nicely done.
Hey I enjoy this video and I really enjoy the love and support that the people of the youtube community shows
well...he didnt had any other option...wcw gone, ecw gone...tna didnt even started, so...
ROB VAN DAM
"Jumping to WWE"??? ECW and WCW were both out of business by the time he joined the WWF. Where else was he going to "jump to"? 😂
Mexico, japan, etc...
RVD is the one guy from the WCW/ECW Alliance to come out of that whole ridiculous debacle unscathed.
What a raw interview. Good shit. Rob seems like a good dude.
RVD’s impressions are awesome 😂 his classic HBK one for Kayfabe Commentaries is legendary and this Paul Heyman one was perfect 👏
If ECW never died he was definetly going to win their title in 2001. RVD was easily the biggest star in the company.
This shows me how far from the actual business aspect of things he really was. Even being on the shelf with the ankle thing, he was the flagship performer on the ECW roster.
Had he talked with JR in 1998, ECW probably doesn’t get to a 3rd PPV. Heyman convinced RVD WWE didn’t want him.
I went to a raw taping in 2006 and when RVD was doing his RVD chant on the ropes I was the only one in that side of the crowd doing the chant. RVD spotted me and pointed right at me shaking his head saying “yeah!!” I was 7 years old and I’ll never forget it. Then I told bro to pick a hand. Been banned from WWE since.
One of a Kind! Well, I loved your work in WWE, I was too young to watch ECW back in the 90's
working for WWE is selling out.corporate wresling is cancerous.
"i wanna land on cement!" Smh...
RVD & Sabu, what great times.
he seems like one of the "professionals" who did things correctly and got shafted.
Dude u keep going back to impact and wwe #flip flopper
How to look like a gold digger 101:
Who's the hottie in the money outfit?
Biggest flip flopper of them all !!!
Wwe ain't calling for that 😅
That no no at the office sounded like triple h🤔
Funny, I thought that too, especially from 02-05. I guess Hunter is just too well-known for his politics.
Great Paul Heyman impersonation, LOL
She has to stare at him and look interested in the same ole stories
Nobody's forcing her. I think she did It of her own volition, but It does get a bit creepy how she doesn't break eye contact In this clip.
FRUSTRATING
Paul had to swallow some pride to go there. The shyster who was taking a cheque from WWF at the height of Extreme Mark Wrestling. Give me a break.
You should really put the word "frustrating" before "jump". As it is, you're saying that his details are frustrating.
I never liked ECW but I did like RVD and I’d watch his matches regularly
Viewing safety mats and breakaway weapons as bad things is why wrestling has 2 million domestic viewers each week instead of 30.
Why is this guy bitching . WWE just gave u two checks for the draft appearances.
Who’s that next to him thoe
One of his wives, Katie Forbes
@@MeDestroyer He's got more than 1?
@@oriondx72 Yes, he has 2, he really living the life
Awww RVD still loves junkyard wrestling with all his heart. I don’t but it had it’s moments.
RVD awesome 🤩 but I’m sorry her wife has to much make up.
kicks and flips -RVD Mr Monday Night
Why would he bring his plastic wooha to an interview?
Ive never see the guy without the ponytail lmao
Lol robin van dam have him in a robin costume with like tommy as batman
I’m glad RVD went to WWE because he became world famous after he did.
He was already world famous. Ohhh right wwe marks don't acknowledge Japanese tours as pro wrestling
@@acehigh79 to be fair we only had WCW and WWE when I was growing up. And WWE’s reach was the whole damn globe. You cannot compare WWE to NJPW or any other Japanese product when it comes to their reach.
@@christopherchuauhang4829 lol NJPW, AAA, All Japan, and a couple other global companies were around. You had to do a bit of leg work to find them in those days but it was possible. WWE wants you to believe they are the best in North America because they have the most money. That doesn't mean best product.
NJPW does have more global reach than WWE ever has. Keep drinking the coolaid....WWE prays on the ignorant and uniformed.
@@acehigh79 I didn’t say it was impossible to know these brands. But I was a kid in the middle of Asia town and the impact WWE and WCW had on a global scale cannot be compared. And I assure you Rob wouldn’t be world famous if he didn’t join WWE. That made him a household name around here.
@@christopherchuauhang4829 lol cool story bro. Keep dreaming kid. Asia Town where? I grew up in Chicago and still educated myself to know wwe wasn't the end all be all of pro wrestling. RVD was already famous from ECW.
RVD does a great Paul Hamon
She gotta money suit on cause she only with him for the 💰
He’s still with Katie Forbes
who's the lady
his wife
All I heard was.... " Pick a hand. "
Robin Van Dam
Robber Van Dam
Great impressions lol
Who the hunny on the right lmao
Does she have OF
Love old skool ec fn w
At first I thought the person sitting next to RVD was from the alphabet club 🤣
Sonia was so much cuter. Sucks they divorced after 20 years ...
Rvd wife is fine
When ECW came back in 06' I was a little kid, I had seen an episode of Raw live in Anaheim, California, it was an awesome show, after the matches RVD was outside with a mob of people including myself there taking pictures of him, a big circuled crowd formed around him, he gave everyone this sweeping high five, no other wrestler was outside with the fans that night, definitely 1 of a kind
Drag week
Rob van damage was his name
Rob Van Dam is his name.
Van Damage is the name of a male pornstar.
