– Speaking to Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer and ECW Original Rob Van Dam discussed tonight’s WWE NXT, along with how he views his future with WWE moving forward. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
RVD on how he was approached by the talent during his previous NXT appearance: “I was about to say I felt the same way, just a little more optimistic, but yeah, I do feel more…when I was at the show last week of NXT in Orlando, it’s like everybody goes out of their way to come up and say how much they appreciate me being there. And it really feels legit and honest. It doesn’t feel like they were told to do it. They come up and they’re happy. They’re excited that I’m there. They think it helps their show out. ”
On his future with WWE: “They look up to me, they watch me, they know that I’ve been wrestling longer than they’ve been around. And none of that was really apparent before, unless somebody points these things out and says them to you, you might not know how anybody feels. But I do feel very much, like I keep saying, moving forward, even if it’s just on the royalty deals, or the legend deals or whatever, I just think it’s going to be a good year for the legends. They’re going to get a lot of love and acknowledgement for what they’ve done, and that’s really important.”
As noted, Rob Van Dam came to the aid of Je’Von Evans against Wes Lee on last night’s edition of WWE NXT. The show was held at the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
