Throughout the documentary Vince McMahon continued to praise RVD, and he noted that WWE had their eyes on Van Dam when he was in ECW. McMahon also opened up about their personal relationship, and he noted that there’s always been a bond between them.
“There’s always been a bond between Rob and myself. It’s just the way you feel about someone and you know they feel the same way. It’s just there. We’ve always had that. As he grew physically, his style grew, it all grew. His personality started to grow and the person on the inside started coming out and the person on the inside is a wonderful human being who loves to have fun and you just want to wrap your arms around him.”
