Good Thing RVD's Ego Isn't Too Big...

[jskinnyg]

RVD On AJ Styles: “AJ’s good, I’m used to having everybody’s best match my whole career. I take everybody’s move’s the best anybody’s ever taken them, I make everybody look better than they’ve ever looked before. AJ’s got a lot to work with. I expect, and there’s a really good chance, that this is going to be the best match of his career and hopefully a match that has everybody taking about TNA.”

AJ'S Good? Now I have been a back & forth fan of RVD's for years... Of course in the early days with ECW, he was a monster and an innovator... But to remain this F'in cocky still when he's pretty much down into his routine to stay healthy... AND to say AJ's just GOOD? Man... I think I need a hit or two of what he's smoking...

Of course that's if the above words said were actually what he said and not twisted around... Thoughts...

[Xero]

Don't know what you're getting at, but AJ isn't on the same level as Van Dam in terms of skill.

I think calling AJ "good" is fair. He's not THAT great in the ring. He's improved by leaps and bounds, but I wouldn't consider him great.

[Kane Knight]

Maybe he'd be more grounded if people stopped fellating him.

Maybe.

[Nowhere Man]

I hope RVD paid for the chiropractor bills after having Jerry Lynn carry him through all those matches they had.

[Nark Order]

What, now we're turning on RVD now?

[KIRA]

I hope RVD paid for the chiropractor bills after having Jerry Lynn carry him through all those matches they had.

Man the IWC is fickle

[Nowhere Man]

Not really; I like RVD just fine, but I've always thought Lynn was the better wrestler of the two.

[4 knuckles up]

I hope RVD paid for the chiropractor bills after having Jerry Lynn carry him through all those matches they had.

Come the fuck on. :nono:

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Meh, to be at the top of your game, being cocky doesn't hurt. There could also be a wee bit of kayfabe in what he said.

[McLegend]

I love RVD but it's pretty clear AJ is better then RVD. However history will not agree with me on that.


Also Why is anyone disargeeing with Nowhere Man? Jerry Lynn is also better then RVD he just is a black hole of charsima, and is forgotten about sadly.

[Kane Knight]

Meh, to be at the top of your game, being cocky doesn't hurt. There could also be a wee bit of kayfabe in what he said.

Or drugs.

[Ermaximus]

Or drugs.

I think this is more so the answer.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I see nothing wrong with this.

[Lock Jaw]

I have not seen RVD in ECW. From what I HAVE seen of both RVD and AJ, I must conclude that

AJ Styles > RVD

Then again, from what I have seen, a whole lot of people > RVD.

[jskinnyg]

Meh, to be at the top of your game, being cocky doesn't hurt. There could also be a wee bit of kayfabe in what he said.

Didn't think about that... Did about the Mary Jane though...

Xero, do you really think AJ is just good? I am just talking wrestling ability here though... I should've been more specific... Cause until Christian came along to help AJ, he was the WORST on the mic in TNA... He has improved, but I really think he has taken a step back with his mic skills since Ric... Which is strange, cause usually when Flair helps someone, they improve dramatically... i.e anyone in Evolution...

But wrestling wise, I really enjoy AJ...When he had that last feud with Angle, that wasn't just all Kurt... Those were solid matches on both sides... Maybe that would happen with RVD too, i dunno...

[Volare]

Or drugs.

Well the drugs are there, christ listen to his theme.

Damn, I'll never get those couple of minutes back... Horrible theme song...

I enjoy RVD more than AJ in the ring. I feel Van Dam is on a whole other level in terms of ring work.

[Kane Knight]

Anyway, if we start bitching about people wit big egos, we'll have like four people to praise in the entirety of wrestledom.

[Xero]

And Dennis Stamp ain't one.

[St. Jimmy]

99 problems but Bisch ain't one.

[Vastardikai]

Hold on. Just so I understand this argument.

A part of TPDub is pissed at RVD because he didn't use a positive enough adjective to describe an overrated Spot-monkey?

Am I missing something?

[Juan]

RVD doesn't fall too far from the spot monkey tree either.

[Nark Order]

RVD doesn't fall too far from the spot monkey tree either.

Exactly.

[.44 Magdalene]

AJsux.

I think it's more for the self-promotion instead.

But either way, if you're looking for consistency in the IWC, then you have very poor pattern recognition skills.

[.44 Magdalene]

Basically, the internet can suck RVD's dick all day, but RVD isn't allowed to suck his own dick.

Though, if anybody's actually capable of sucking their own dick, it's RVD.


'Cuz... y'know. Flexible and shit.

:shifty:

...I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

[jskinnyg]

Fair enough Sr. Xero...

[MoFo]

Meh, AJ is boring as fuck.

AJ < RVD < Jerry Lynn

[Kane Knight]

Meh, AJ is boring as fuck.

AJ < RVD < Jerry Lynn

< John Cena.

[Vastardikai]

If I was looking for consistency in the IWC, I'd be better served digging up copies of Atari's version of ET from the New Mexico desert...

[Kane Knight]

Why not just kick yourself in the balls? At least it would only hurt for a little bit.

[Vastardikai]

It's an exercise in futility.

[Kane Knight]

I don't know, it's probably not worth the risk. :shifty:

[The Franchise]

Rob Van Kick

[The Franchise]

RVD doesn't fall too far from the spot monkey tree either.

RVD is nothing but a spot monkey who kicks a lot. Never liked him.

[The Gold Standard]

I agree with The Franchise. I never liked RVD. I always felt he was overrated a little. I also feel the same way about AJ Styles. I am just not a fan of either of them. I think they are very overrated by everyone.

[FourFifty]

What, now we're turning on RVD now?

No, everyone is making their own calls and judgments based on their feelings.

or at least that's how it SHOULD be.....

[XCaliber]

For myself I consider them both to be about the same quality in terms of performance.

[Fox]

RVD vs. Jerry Lynn from Hardcore Heaven 99 is one of the greatest matches I have ever witnessed. He's also right in stating that he makes others look incredible in his matches against them, and that he takes moves like none other. Nobody takes a piledriver or a DDT like Rob Van Dam, and I dare anyone to challenge that.

That being said, I am, and have always been, a huge mark for AJ Styles. While his matches against Christopher Daniels back in 04-05 are also some of the best matches I've ever witnessed, they don't compare to RVD/Lynn. Rob Van Dam is masterful inside the ring.

[Tazz Dan]

RVD is a much better, whiter version of Shelton Benjamin.

I agree he was used poorly for most of his time in WWE, but his stuff in ECW and a lot of what he's done so far in TNA is pretty fucking awesome.

[Spaff]

Well the drugs are there, christ listen to his theme.

Your joking right.Dont ever compare these 2 guys again,worst and most idiotic thing i have ever heard about anything in my life.Ignore time 4 you.

Except 4 the fact that he cant throw a punch,really is it retarded day today in the wrestling forums.

...But since it plainly isn't....

Ya ever heard of HBK, fella?

[kareru]

[Nicky Fives]

I enjoy RVD in the ring, and probably always will, but he is past his prime.... mnd you, he isn't working with the greats that he has in the past in WWE (Benoit, Guerrero, a young Jeff Hardy, Jericho, etc.)..... and AJ has nothing but potential, but the IWC has been hearing that since 2002.....

Currently, I think RVD is ahead of Styles in most aspects, but AJ is constantly improving, where as RVD is losing bit-by-bit

[The Gold Standard]

I am not going to shit on RVD too much. He was just never a favorite of mine. Maybe the problem is I was not an ECW guy, I was always a WWE guy, so I did not see that much of him then, but I bought his DVD and watched it with a couple friends and just didn't have the same reaction to him that everyone else had.

[Jordan]

Yeah I thought this was funny, AJ is better than RVD these days, sorry but it's true.

[jskinnyg]

I play music 4 a living and that song really makes me wish i didn't.

Dude, right there with you... Moron prob didn't even know he was tuned down...

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hooooooooooooold on....is that seriously Rob Van Dam's theme song? Like, for real?

[Xero]

Yes. For realsies.

Except it's "Whole F'n Show" instead of "Whole Fuckin' Show" for obvious reasons. The Fuckin' version was used for RVD's website.

[kareru]

Holy Jesus... That guy is actually serious... That actually makes me wanna break MY guitar over his head!

[Mooияakeя™]

It's not cocky if you can back it the fuck up.

[Jeritron]

I love RVD but I can't think of anyone's "best matches" that he's been involved in other than his own and Jerry Lynn's
