Most wrestlers dream of making it in WWE and cementing their legacy by winning the WWE Championship. Rob Van Dam did just that when he defeated John Cena at One Night Stand in 2006, and he also became the only wrestler in history to hold the WWE and ECW Championship simultaneously.
There’s no denying that Rob Van Dam has had an incredibly successful career, and during a recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast Jim Ross praised RVD in a big way.
“One of the most underrated superstars of all time. The distraction of marijuana took some people’s eye off the fact that this guy is one hell of a wrestler. I tried to think when we were preparing the show, is there a match that he s**t the bed somewhere along the way in a big match on TV? I couldn’t recall one.”
“Look what all he overcame. The perception that he was unreliable, that he couldn’t get the job done. He proved all those naysayers wrong in a major way. He had a hell of a run. I enjoy talking to him. I enjoy hanging around him when I see him. It’s fun. I can see again, as I said earlier, why the audience has gravitated to him in a variety of arenas for the last several years.”
