TSC Evaluation #9: Rob Van Dam

[Tide Run This]

He ain't even need that that cocky mf was dope in ECW he just knew he was the best worker on the card ...the dumbed down RVD would just say cool or whatever lol

He could actually cut a solid promo like he did at the first one night stand

Yeah some guys don't need to be on the mic to elevate their character. I probably wouldn't hate Hunter as much but I can't get over all the years of those long boring drawn out promos Hunter was a good worker pre quad injury.

He's an 8 overall, but his stans are so insufferable I had to bump him down to a 7.

There's really only one who is insufferable.

True shyt

Hunter burned himself out going over everybody smh

2000 hunter the only era HHH I can stand

I give him an 8 out 10 did think about giving him a 9 but 8 is good. Was a great worker, could be a bit of a spot monkey bUT it worked for him and his matches were usually can't miss TV. He oozed charisma and his character fit him to a T but he could not work the mic worth a damn. And when you think ECW, Rob is one of the guys you think of.

I wanna see one on HBK I'm very interested in seeing how the haters rate him

I'm going to avoid doing evaluations for people who get talked to death on here. People like Michaels, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, The Rock.

Yeah they been discussed to death and a couple of those threads will get hijacked by haters/stans. I think some guys from my childhood I wouldn't mind get evaluated are Big Van Vader and Dustin Rhodes

But you did a Punk one

But you did a Punk one

Most of the Punk talk over the last several months was about his MMA aspirations.

Based on his rating of 8.00 I think a lot of people were able to give a fair assessment.

*In before his lover/son/bytch*

Id give him an 8 at peak, Dude was as over as anybody in the biz in 03 and WWE fukked up yet again with having HHH eat him too.

He didn't get fed to him in 2003. He just drifted aimlessly without any important angle at all . I say an 8-8.5 as well. Should have gotten more of a chance than he did. OP who requested Hassan? Was it Dylan with his newest alias ?

Didn't he take his IC title from him and then throw that shyt in the bushes

That's was Kane. The IC title got passed around a lot back then.

Very easy 8 for me. He was my favorite ECW wrestler, and I was really hype when he came to the WWE. He was one of the undeniably popular guys from a non-WWE fed that couldn't get buried (initially) when he came over. I don't remember notable promos from him in the WWE nor ECW, but I can't say he sucked either. He was pretty basic, and definitely restricted in the WWE. I remember him cutting some really silly promos in his latter WWE run, and I remember him having a shoot interview in maybe 2013 where he was talking about they never knew what directly to take him promos, and that's exactly the feeling I got. As far as actual wrestling, he was very exciting, and an innovator, and put on a lot of very good matches. You can call him a spot-monkey years later, but during his run, all he was was a very standout wrestler to me. He put on good matches with a host of people, and held a bunch of titles, even the WWE title in a great atmosphere at ONS 2006. Shouldn't have won the TNA World title after barely being there, but nothing made sense in TNA at that point in time anyway. Even though he had better matches, my favorite match of his is with Jeff Hardy at Invasion. IDK, just something about it, everything who wanted to see from the both of them. He was pretty washed in his last WWE run, looking bloated, and practically going through the motions with his spots, but I think that's all you were gonna get from a 42 year old RVD who never changed/adjusted his high flying style over time. All the weed/drugs took off years of productive wrestling as well. Negatives aside, RVD was one of my favorite wrestling between 97-2004, and my biggest reason for interest in ECW.

Nobody cares he has the same hair style for 30 years

You are such a misreable human being.

RVD was funny as hell on the mic and always was entertaining. Not everybody has to have catch phrases and long 20 minute promos to be good. He's being Waaaayyyyyyy underrated on Promos. You can tell who watched ECW from that.

He's not underrated on the mic at all. He's average at best but mostly awful. The fact that people can only point to comedic segments as his best promo work says a lot. That doesn't take away from his other positive qualities but let's not overrate his weakest attribute.
