Rob’s a class act. Went to St Valentines Day Massacre in London in 98 and saw him. He was super jacked and not friendly that day. Met him a few times since and what a gentleman. Great guy.
Rob had a power when it came to dealing with HHH, he was crazy over. That, mixed with his natural demeanor, made him pretty much impervious to any of the shenanigans. HHH couldn’t just run RVD out.
Most definitely. He , in my humble opinion, and Eddie and Rey mysterio made the high flying technical stuff not only look believable, but made it look devastating. And they were no slouches in the wrestling department. They utilized different styles and incorporated legit old school wrestling in with it. A huge difference to todays high flying , high spot monkey shit we get
he is the only wrestler i've seen comfortably outperform shawn michaels in a one-on-one match. michaels was jealous of rvd because rvd could do things he couldnt and was also younger than michaels.
I think I am pretty much on wave length with RVD on Triple H - though he is being diplomatic here. I vividly recall the 'I swear to God, I had no idea' scene with Bret's wife Julie. Lying straight to her face because he was not a man. He and Michaels suck for what they did in Montreal and neither has atoned for any of it. Born again Christian, my ass.
I dont know. It seems he stopped his reckless behavior, apologized to brett and many many others. What more do you want from a man who recognized he was a prideful prick, met Jesus, and Jesus demanded he change his evil ways.
multiple matches with Mick Foley, DX, made the Rock and Stone Cold look legit, created the best developmental program ever, Undertaker's only good WrestleMania matches. Bret Harts greatest contribution to wrestling was throwing a temperature after losing a match.
@@redrick8900every “great” Triple H match was a gimmick match, he was never the top draw & when they positioned him as the top guy, business went down the tubes. OVW was actually their best development system & what stars has his version of NXT created that weren’t snatched from the indies or another organization? He’s had the book since 2022 on the main roster & hasn’t made one bonafide main eventer. Also, Shawn’s WrestleMania matches with Taker were a lot better.
@@jihadthegeneral HHH Undertaker at WM 18 wasn't a gimmick match and even if it was that's not a legitimate critique. HHH drew a lot more than Bret Hart. The WWE went downhill when they had no competition. HHH has made the women's division good for the first time in any mixed gender wrestling company ever. Pretty much all wrestlers start on the Indies. HHH is much, much better than Michaels.
@@redrick8900 Triple H fought Undertaker at WM17, get it right. The match was decent & was another no holds barred match like all of his matches. For a guy that’s such a traditionalist, he can’t give you a great traditional singles match. Triple H only drew when he was paired with a superior draw. Bret was an international draw & carried the company when both of Triple H’s buddies, Nash & Michaels tanked the business. Speaking of Michaels, he can work laps around Triple H, you fanboy…lol!
@@jihadthegeneral It wasn't no holds barred. It just played that way because the ref was knocked out for like 8 minutes of the match. Also, it was better than any match Bret hart ever had. Bret was a draw in Canada, and that's it. California has more people. Hart never carried the company. He got promoted from the mid card when the top guys left and the company almost went under. Then he left becuase they couldn't afford his contract becuase he wasn't drawing money and he went to WCW where he couldn't draw and the WWF went on to it's best years ever. Michaels isn't that good. His career was always about being carried by better people. He's like the Undertaker. He can have a good match if someone else is there to carry him. Keep pretending to laugh to project confidence. it shows that you know you are losing the argument.
Rob is that man. For those of us who are genuinely cool, fun, real, brutally honest in a matter of fact way, funny, confident but never fucking arrogant assholes about it…typically, we are stoners. We don’t care much or at all about getting drunk. We are typically feeling relaxed, content, happy, sometimes we get the giggles and other times we just get quiet and sleepy as fuck. Most of the stoners I’ve known as well as the ones I have dated are as I’m describing. I’m a very passionate person and health wise, I struggle with autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis), a chronic incurable pain condition (Endometriosis), and I’ve lived with (and fought my ass off) Clinical Depression, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, former brutal bouts of maddening insomnia as well as night terrors, breaking out in painful welts and hives when I get really upset and/or anxious with or without a pain flare and vertigo. I’m not complaining. I just want to share a bit. I just turned 45 this year. Prior to about 5 years ago, I was on so many different medications, going through so much bullshit and genuine trauma dealing with these asshole doctors and the entire broken healthcare system (BUSINESS). I still require my thyroid meds and a few others for life, but when I started using cannabis like a medicine and a recreational supplement (rather than ONLY the latter, my life started changing. Now, between flower, live resin carts, and edibles, I find that cannabis helps me in a plethora of amazing ways! I only wish I still lived in a state where it’s legal and also, it’s so fucking expensive when you come from out of state and buy from a dispensary. I’m thankful for when I can afford what I need. 😊
No offense Rob you are a cool dude. I'm forty and no one has believed wrestling was real in my lifetime man. That being said ECW was the most convincing thing America ever produced. I really believed Sabu didn't or wouldn't speak english for a long time. And I always thought you were one of J CV D's bastard kids.😂

Honesty is hard to find in professional wrestling due to politics and egos. RVD has to be the most genuine and honest wrestler there’s ever been.
Rob’s a class act. Went to St Valentines Day Massacre in London in 98 and saw him. He was super jacked and not friendly that day. Met him a few times since and what a gentleman. Great guy.
Had no idea RVD had a podcast I’ve always been a fan will continue to watch this
It's ok. RvD didnt even know he had a podcast...
Rob had a power when it came to dealing with HHH, he was crazy over. That, mixed with his natural demeanor, made him pretty much impervious to any of the shenanigans. HHH couldn’t just run RVD out.
It's absurd that HHH is the excuse for every wrestler that couldn't get over in WWE.
@@redrick8900RVD was very over!
@@williewest2998 Not really. He got average pops for a face.
All around dexterity, Rob Van Dam is the greatest wrestler of all-time in my opinion.
Most definitely. He , in my humble opinion, and Eddie and Rey mysterio made the high flying technical stuff not only look believable, but made it look devastating. And they were no slouches in the wrestling department. They utilized different styles and incorporated legit old school wrestling in with it. A huge difference to todays high flying , high spot monkey shit we get
Dynamite kid was the greatest professional rassler ever
@@andygarza8132lmao van dam was absolutely a spot monkey. Him & steiner were the OG spot monkeys
@@marcbasil I might agree, but longevity has to play into this and honestly, he didn’t last long. Lol. Dude got himself killed.
he is the only wrestler i've seen comfortably outperform shawn michaels in a one-on-one match. michaels was jealous of rvd because rvd could do things he couldnt and was also younger than michaels.
RVD too damn high to answer that question lol
I agree with RVD about protecting the business as much as possible
Now today, you have pipsqueak cosplayer goofs at AEW where all they do is expose the business
Lol @@yoholmes273 its 2023, the business has been exposed for decades at this point. The internet is everywhere. Fucking get over it.
@@yoholmes273Wrestling broomsticks
That just runs off fans that aren't stupid.
@@yoholmes273 You can't "expose" what's been in the public record for a generation.

@@Lonestar_Hero I am not so sure the 'old Shawn' is gone, but he does seem to be a lot better of a guy these days.
Triple h was the biggest mark for himself in the early 2000s
It went further than that, to 2016.
Truest facts anyones ever saidb
I’ll tell you who’s a mark: this d0rk interviewer/host
It’s why he is where he is, though.
@@JM1993951 that's coz he was pumping and married the bosses daughter.
It was Julie Hart, Brets wife at the time
Thank you
Well dang, i was wanting to see the rabbit trick!
Triple H is a real life villain and like Bret Hart said what has he really ever done that was "great"
multiple matches with Mick Foley, DX, made the Rock and Stone Cold look legit, created the best developmental program ever, Undertaker's only good WrestleMania matches.
Bret Harts greatest contribution to wrestling was throwing a temperature after losing a match.

Robby. You need to stay away from the
POT LIGHTS. They put a glare on your face.
I started ECW in 96 right? True Pothead question.😂🤘
Triple H had control since the mid to late 90s threw his Klique connection.
Through*
He didn't "throw" anything.
No. He was just better than everyone else.
Very interesting .
RVD is honest the way Bret Hart is
RVD never say die attitude.

What could be more predictable than modern pro wrestling
Were RVD and HHH in WCW at the same time?
Best wrestlers ever are rvd bret heart
Met both and they were incredibly nice guys, took time to chat.
Both didn't draw so no
Two words sum up "Triple H" Katie Vick
McMahon exposed the business in the late 80's early 90's because of the wrestling/boxing commission. "Wrestling is entertainment not sports".
I love RVD’s honesty I agree Triple H is the worst ever
Congrats on being wrong.
