Rob Van Dam was able to achieve major success during his time with WWE and he took his career to the next level when he won Money in the Bank and cashed in on John Cena to become the WWE Champion.
When RVD challenged Cena for the WWE Championship at ECW One Night Stand the fans booed Cena unmercifully. Van Dam recently talked about the match during an interview with Chris Van Vliet and he also recalled a similar situation that took place earlier in his career that made him a bigger fan of John Cena.
“I did see him get booed by the whole crowd before. That was in Wales. That was early in my WWE days. So I don’t know probably 2003 or 2004 seems like, I don’t know, but I was shocked. Because I hadn’t seen that before at that point. Everyone [was like] ‘boo’ and then he got on the microphone. He cut this promo. He said ‘You can boo me. Yeah, keep it up. Let’s go.’”
“He was like, ‘That’s what we want, man. As long as you’re screaming and you’re voicing your opinion. That means you’re ready to go and that you’re ready for wrestling.’ He was like ‘That’s all we want either way. We wanna make sure you’re having a good time. So keep it up.’ He turned them and made me a much bigger fan of his at that moment. I was like ‘Wow, he knows how to turn the whole crowd that hated him into loving him in two minutes.’”
