Kurt Angle discusses wrestling style of WWE Hall of Famer
“He was great. You know, he was a stiff son of a gun. So am I! Stiff as hell! But Rob was great. His skill set, what he was able to do. He was a high-flyer, and at that size, that’s really impressive.”
“RVD was getting so much momentum, it didn’t matter if he was a heel or a face, he was with The Alliance, but fans clung to Rob; they loved him. There was no stopping him; they had to put him in the main event with us because he was getting so hot.”
Rob Van Dam achieved a lot of success in WWE. He won the World Tag Team Championship twice and the WWE Tag Team Championship once. He also won the European Championship once Hardcore Championship four times and the Intercontinental Championship six times.
However, his crowning achievement in the WWE was holding the WWE and ECW Championship at the same time! He is the only person to have ever done so.
RVD was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.
