I'd be quite alright with him never coming back to WWE tbh. He was so fucking boring to watch in his last couple of WWE runs. I was a fan of his work for years but at this point it's pretty much the same thing every match.

This is interesting. I remember in 2002 the guys on this forum worshipped RVD. I posted he was nada. Needless to type, this opinion wasn't popular, but I like how in 2015, RVD isn't even around anymore and not nearly as loved as he was on here. I was years before my time.

He still thought outside the box back then. Varied up his matches. Wasn't long after that though, that he just started going through the motions. Every match was the same routine. Seen one, seen em' all.

I honestly think he stopped caring after they didn't give him the win over HHH for the title. He was ridiculously over at the time, and many people feel it was a lost opportunity.

I still like RVD, but yeah his last run was pretty meh.

Even more because if I recall, he didn't really have any legit, long-standing angles going on. It kinda ruins all the fun when you know "Wrestler X has three appearances left" etc.

I remember his last run, when he showed up and they randomly gave RVD and Jericho almost 20 minutes on RAW. It was different, fresh and RVD seemed motivated and they produced a 4 star match with no promotion or back story. He can add to the product, but I think it's more of WWE wanting him to be RVD and jobbing him out, and him being pissed at a lazy creative department. If they had something for him to do, I think he'd be there now.

He wasn't nada, so you were wrong back then. RVD just didn't evolve his character or what he did in the ring. The Same old shit mentality changed his perception here. Ahead of your time? Nah you just said he was shitty because everybody loved him and you wanted to be the asshole.

I have an epic memory and I recall it all like it was yesterday. I had nothing against the guy. It was 2002, I was a huge Hogan fan and the TPWW regs would bash the Hulkster all while kissing up to RVD. I pointed out that Mr. Monday Night, while a great wrestler, was just essentially a flash in the pan. His mic skills were blah and his character got old. Good acting and great writing is what makes or breaks a superstar, not wrestling skills.


I typed that RVD may have a few good years here and there as a mid-carder, but that he would never be a main eventer and he sure as heck would never be a Hulk Hogan as for as fame goes and that in due time, Ron Van Dam will be nada.



Welcome to the future, gentlemen. It's no longer 2002 and here we are in 2015 and where is RVD? What he's doing now? What's his legacy? Where are his heard of fanboys? Literally. I don't even see them post here. They are all 30-something-year-old's who moved on, while the young audience probably doesn't even know who RVD is.



In the wrestling business, you can either make a lot of friends and get the appreciation of internet smarks (for a little while) or you can make tons of money, become an icon in the mainstream business, be hated by all the mid-carders and other losers and jealous never-was's who aren't worth anything, and be loathed by the internet geeks, but then one day retire with dignity like Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior with tons of cash.


RVD clearly picked option A.



The only thing RVD's old butt can hope for now is that he gets booked regularly on the Indy scene with other "15 minutes of fame losers" like the Honky Tonk Man and can wrestle in front of trailer park trash hicks who think wrestling is real. Then when RVD's not working, he can do RF shoot videos having "Remember when" conversations. Maybe if RVD plays his cards right, he can hope to get booked on Smackdown for a one time appearance where he jobs in less then five minutes to an up-and-comer.

RVD can drink all the booze and eat all the doughnuts he likes too, get a big belly, and he can still count on his manchildren fans to buy autograph pictures of him from fifteen tears ago like all the other has-been's.
