Rob Van Dam was a high-flyer in an era where it wasn’t as common as it is today. Sure, we’ve seen a lot of great high-flyers in the past, but it’s important to remember that during his era, far more emphasis was given on character work over in-ring work. There were good in-ring technicians, but RVD was on another level from bell-to-bell.
Many believe that he was far ahead of his time, and it’s hard to argue against it. He may not be in the “all-time greats” conversation, but he contributed to and impacted the wrestling more than people realize. Even during his run in ECW, he was red hot and hot many classics with the likes of Jerry Lynn. His run with ECW ended on bad terms, but it opened a new chapter with WWE, where he would make an even bigger name for himself.
In WWE, he would reach the mountain top, albeit for a brief period of time. We take a look at some of his greatest moments with the company.
