RVD Believes WWE Didn’t Want Hardcore Title To Be As Meaningful As He Made It

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam (RVD) recently appeared on an episode of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, where he discussed a number of topics including his run as Hardcore Champion and how he believes he made the title mean more than the company wanted it to.

RVD said, “For sure, I made that belt mean way more than they ever wanted it to. That’s why they got rid of it.”

On wrestling Jeff Hardy:

“I love wrestling him, but it seems like every single match it seemed like I always won. Like, over and over, and I always wondered, ‘Is that the right way to do things? Like, should we throw him a bone? I mean, he’s Jeff Hardy. He’s not like,’ you know. I mean we had great matches, but I don’t remember it ever being the other way around. And I was — I don’t know, [I] start getting personal thoughts, like, wondering how Jeff feels about that and this and that.”
