• Rob Van Dam On What Current Pro-Wrestling Lacks
During a recent appearance on the Foundation podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Rob Van Dam talked about current pro-wrestling and what it lacks.
Below is what the former WWE Champion said:
“What pro wrestling lacks right now is a lack of the old school fundamentals.
When I was trained by the Original Sheik, he definitely wasn’t a high flyer in any way.
I had to do his kind of wrestling, which was all about getting your opponent to the ground, trying to pin him, trying to pin his shoulders to the mat every chance we got. I had to learn how to sneak in a backflip or a spin around that.
When I was in All Japan, Stan Hansen used to give me sh*t when I was real young.”
Speaking of RVD, he recently told WWE Officials that he’s ready if they need him as a surprise entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble 2022 match. He even had a new ring gear ready.
However, WWE Officials didn’t call him.
