WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam (RVD) recently took to an episode of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including the company cutting back on house shows and how they could end up becoming just a television product.
RVD said, “If they’re making most of their business off of TV and not at the actual live events, then there’s not as much incentive to even do them. You know, I could see it maybe becoming just a television product if that’s the way that the money flowed.”
On the WWE schedule when he worked for the company:
“We were doing four house shows every week and two TVs. Not everyone was on both TVs, but it seems like I always was. And then sometimes a PPV too, and sometimes international which takes place of any days off. And anyway, it was a lot. It was really a lot. And that’s one of the things that I’ve heard people say is that they are better at understanding if people want time off. Which I don’t know would necessarily reflect the time on changing or not, but I don’t know.”
