I've given it some thought now, why hasn't RVD won the title yet?

1) He can't carry a fued to save his life. He has a natural charisma about him, but he has never gotten past that part. In the high school hall way of life, he is always going to be that guy everyone likes, and says high to, and is at all the parties, but in the end you forget about when you go on to college.
His promos, which he never has anymore (I wonder why...not really) never went anywhere. "Dude, you need to chill out." "Dude, just relax, we got this in the bag." "Dude, Booker, take a chill pill, we'll just go out and do our best." Seriously, those are his speaking parts. Wrestling isn't a place to "chill out." If anything, wrestling, and being a wrestler is the one time stress, and being aggersive and hostile will get you places.

2) He was a big fish in a little pond. Face it folks, ECW was an over blown indy fed. The only reason it got to be where it was, was Paul Heyman. Don't get me wrong, the wrestlers busted their asses, RVD included, and they had phenominal matches back in the day, but that was still a small pond. And it isn't hard to shine when RVD gets to work a match with Taz or Lynn right after Ian Rotten and New Jack have a blood bath, and just hit eachother with keyboards and a nintendo.
Even if RVD got to use all his moves from ECW in WWE, I doubt he would be in any better shape than he is now.

3) He doesn't wrestle. Even in ECW RVD barely wrestled. And now in WWE he doesn't even use one wrestling move. He is a pure striker. Everything he does it a kick, punch, splash, or leg drop. He does those little flippy things to pick up a chair, or get out of the way, but he doesn't wrestler. Yeah, once in a while he does a suplex, or picks the guy up to mount him on the turnbuckle, but he doesn't wrestle. And maybe, just maybe Vince and company picked that up, and don't want to put a belt on someone that doesn't grapple, but that didn't stop Hogan from getting it.

4) He sucks and is still the same played out gimmick from 1995. Being a pot head hippy stoner is cool in the indy circuit in the late 90s, but in 2004 WWE, it has lost most of its edge when the guy in his mid to late 30s.

5) WWE just dropped the ball, and should have had him beat Austin back in the day.
