• Bruce Prichard Reveals Which Storyline Made Him Fall In Love With RVD

During a recent Something To Wrestle podcast, Old School WWF Veteran Bruce Prichard talked about Rob Van Dam appearing in WWF as a fan in 1987, wanting Rob Van Dam in WWF, and which storyline made him fall in love with Rob Van Dam.

Below are the highlights:

On Rob Van Dam appearing in WWF as a fan in 1987:

“Rob told me, when I first met him. You know I was one of those people that came out of the audience and did one of Ted Dibiase’s ‘Will you do this for money’ deal,” Prichard explained. “He actually did the ‘Kiss My Feet’ thing with Ted Dibiase where he got paid to kiss his feet. We actually went back and found the footage and it was Rob Szatkowski, so I thought that was really cool. He was a mega fan.”

On wanting Rob Van Dam in WWF:

“The first time I saw Rob Van Dam was actually with Dory Funk Jr, long before he was in ECW. Right about the time he was going to WCW. Rob Van Dam does the ‘Van Dam Deadlift’ where he takes two chairs and does the splits and then he lifts a barbell in between. Extremely difficult to do and extremely impressive when someone does it. He had a unique look and had a different style, so watching Rob from day one thought that he was special and thought someone that can come to WWF and have a big niche following.”

On which storyline made him fall in love with Rob Van Dam:

“The Alliance stuff with Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam, to me, that was where I fell in love with RVD because I really didn’t know him that well, except superficially, but when we were doing stuff with Steve Austin and Steve was doing stuff with his watch and doing the ‘What?’ chant and looking at his watch, we’re shooting and I am telling Rob to act natural, react and just go with it because I wasn’t a big fan of scripts, so I would let the guys freestyle at times, and if it would work we would go with it. So, Steve is putting his watch in his ear and RVD takes the watch and puts the watch up to his ear asking what it is he was listening to. It was real, and it was something that everybody wanted to do but they’re looking for a script, but I told Rob to just freestyle with it and it was good. Steve and Rob had a chemistry in the backstage vignettes where we thought that there may be something there. It was just good chemistry.”
