I think that's an arguable point. In 2001 when the WWE teased the Austin/RVD feud, RVD came across as 'determined' and 'confident'. Same in 2002 when RVD fought Benoit at Summerslam.

Besides - Look how over RVD was in ECW. He was a very well respected champ in ECW. Think about it: For a company that had such little exposure (relative to WCW and the WWE), RVD was WAAAAY over.
