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.”
