Gotta Love RVD
Found a brand new shoot interview from him.

Credit: PWInsider.com

Rob Van Dam appeared on SportsTalkCleveland.com's Pro Wrestling Insider show last night and spent over 40 minutes discussing several controversial subjects such as Vince McMahon's new ECW, "one of the boys, that's married to one of the boss' daughters", and much more. The following are some excerpts from the interview:

On whether he is bitter over his WWE run: "Honestly, I don't feel I am bitter at all. When I went to WWE, in the summer of 2001, I didn't even want to go. It was never my favorite style of wrestling, even since I was a little kid and it was the only style of wrestling that I knew. So, when I went there in 2001, it was all business. At that point in my career, it was all business, and I was already tired of traveling. I already really peaked my interest in ECW, as an artist. In the original ECW, I felt like I was an artist out there, and I had the freedom to display my ability, my talents, and to show what I wanted to show, and win the fans over. It was in my control."

On the ECW revival in WWE moving away from the original ECW concept: "When they squashed the spirit of ECW, I was still kicking on the way out. I would tell Vince, "If you do this, the ECW fans aren't going to like this, that's not what this is about." That's when I realized (it was doomed) because he told me, exactly "Rob, I never intended this to be like the old ECW. Nobody remembers the old ECW." I'd say, "You've got to be kidding me! You don't think anybody remembers it? Why do you think the Pay-per-view was so successful, and the DVD! Isn't that why you're bringing it back?" (Does Vince McMahon voice) "Rob, for all I know, those 2500 fans at the Manhattan Center were the last of the old ECW fans."

Vince McMahon's reason why fans still chanted "ECW": "I said "Vince, why do you think they still chant ECW?" (Does Vince McMahon voice) "Because I've trained them to do that over the last five years." Seriously, how do you argue with that? You don't, eventually you throw in the towel, which is what I did."

On Rob's appreciation of his fans: "I would be the only person who would go out behind the building and ... oh wait, that was something else I used to do (laughs). I would go out back and I would sign autographs for the fans that are waiting out there, and they would say "Oh Rob, you're the only one who has come up to us all day!" and I would say "Of course, it's pouring rain, and you've been standing under a tree all day, you don't expect wrestlers to come out here, do you?" But I would usually do it, because I would get energy out of that, and know that they would remember that."

On his WWE Title win: "WWE never planned on pushing me, they had no choice because the fans demanded it. I was told, when we were talking about bringing ECW back as a third brand, and when Paul (Heyman) was talking about putting the World Championship Title on RVD to kickstart ECW, I was told that one of the boys, that's married to one of the boss' daughters, actually said that "RVD just doesn't have that connection with the crowd". Now, is that a genuine comment, or is that a back-stabbing, throat-slicing comment to try and keep yourself from feeling threatened by somebody else?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd love to hear him do the Vince impersonation, lol.

I think Rob is to high to ever be bitter about anything. Plus what can he do in WWE now? There isn't anywhere he could go. He could join up with TNA and do nothing, I suppose.

He doesn't really have a point, he has an argument conveniently structured to benefit his own logic. It's a reverse Occam's Razor.

No he doesn't. He could have ran a 3,000 seat building under the ECW name practically anywhere in North America and the UK and it would have sold out.

Also, "it spins."

As said before, he really doesn't. "The Rise and Fall of ECW" didn't just sell big in the North-East; it sold well all over the U.S. And more than 2500 people tuned into the first One Night Stand, and as much as JBL might want to believe it, it wasn't for him or the WWE Invasion. It was for a return to great wrestling, which is exactly what the fans got (has there been a better PPV, WWE or otherwise, since then?).

Vince is dead on the money when he says that he never had any intention of recreating the old ECW. RVD is all about the positive energy, and it was just his way of being positive when he hoped that Vince would actually listen and make the new ECW more like the old ECW, but it was foolish none-the-less.

I was told, when we were talking about bringing ECW back as a third brand, and when Paul (Heyman) was talking about putting the World Championship Title on RVD to kickstart ECW, I was told that one of the boys, that's married to one of the boss' daughters, actually said that "RVD just doesn't have that connection with the crowd". Now, is that a genuine comment, or is that a back-stabbing, throat-slicing comment to try and keep yourself from feeling threatened by somebody else?"
Best quote from the piece IMO.

Bam! Exactly right. The Rise and Fall of ECW was a very successful DVD, which led to One Night Stand becoming a very successful PPV.

What I love (in a sarcastic, ironic way) about the new ECW, is the way that if anything fails on it, the old ECW gets the blame. December to Dismember was a horrific PPV, mainly because Heyman was not allowed to book the way he wanted to, and had to do the WWE finish of Bobby Lashley overcoming the odds, the smark favourites getting jobbed out, etc. Who got the blame for it? Heyman, of course.

I'm sure that when they decide to dissolve the brand, the justification will be on the ECW name not being strong enough to carry a fanbase. Never mind that the product was never as captivating as fans demanded.

I wonder if they think that if they change the name to WWE Tuesday Niight Whatever they think the ratings will blow up because ECW cant hack it.
