Wrestle Talk TV has released the video for an interview with returning WWE Superstar Rob Van Dam. Below are some highlights:
Rob Van Dam on his individuality and thinking outside the box: “I thought outside the box, as I do out of the ring. I take pride in my individuality, and I also try to motivate other people to do that as well … I never wanted to try and take another wrestler’s spot, or be like another wrestler. I wanted to come up with moves that I hadn’t seen before. Before my first match I was like, ‘I wonder if I can jump up and do a split, and land on the corner of the top rope, and then flip back off my legs and land on my opponent.’ I’d never seen it, but I saw it [in my head].”
Rob Van Damn on an offer he got from WCW: “I’ve had some offers that didn’t sound too appealing. When I was in ECW defending the television title, I had an offer from WCW. But they wanted to turn me into a Mortal Kombat character. Which they did – Glacier – the hardcore fans might remember. That could have been me if I hadn’t said ‘no’. Even after they made Glacier they said ‘it’s O.K. we’re gonna make a whole bunch of them. We’re gonna make a big group of Mortal Kombat guys, and you’ll have a mask.'”
RVD on his connection with Ryback: “The same guy that air brushes my outfits air brushes his. It’s always been the same guy [that paint’s my outfits] … He’s always turned down guys, but for whatever reason Ryback appealed to him. He liked him, and he wanted to help him out. [Ryback] also reached out to me, and I haven’t met him but I got a message from him, making sure that he had my blessing.”
