When WWE acquired WCW and ECW a number of new wrestlers ended up on the WWE roster such as Rob Van Dam. It didn’t take long for RVD to get noticed in WWE and he faced off against some interesting opponents during his time with the company.
Matt Hardy is someone who has crossed paths with Rob Van Dam in both WWE and Impact Wrestling. During an episode of the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt opened up about what it was like to work with RVD and he admitted that Van Dam’s aggression ended up making him more aggressive. However, Matt also noted that he loves working with the WWE Hall of Famer.
“I’ll be honest, a lot of times when me and RVD worked, it ended up being like a potato fest. It seemed like that it was very, you know, if he gets aggressive, it just makes me more aggressive too, we’ve had quite a few. Nowadays as I’m a little older, I like working solid, I don’t like working super stiff though.
RVD, especially when he first came in, people were like, ‘Oh my God, RVD is gonna get the sh*t out of you’, he would lay them in. But I love Rob and I love working with him and would work with him every day of the week.”
