  1.  

    RVD hasn't had that defining feud as champion and Abyss isn't going to be that either. Problem is heel wise who is left out there after Abyss? I'm drawing a blank on big time heels for RVD to feud with. Some of their bigger heels he's already dispensed of (AJ, Sting, Abyss) and others have turned face (Anderson, Pope).

     

    Honestly RVD's not my guy. The guy has limited promo skills at best, his in ring action doesn't wow me the way A.J Styles and others do. RVD was innovative 15 years ago but now days he just kinda does the same moves over and over again. I'm not exactly sure what his appeal is over say an AJ Styles or Christopher Daniels or anyone else that can be just as if not more creative in the ring. For my money A.J's better on the mic than RVD.

     

    RVD works great in a certain role but I'm not sure that role is ever face of a sports entertainment company. I don't think I've ever seen Rob Van Dam give a single epic promo. Rob Van Dam has never done anything other than moves and talking about mary jane that made me say "that is Rob Van Dam's character in a nutshell".

     

    I like Rob but if I was head of a promotion Rob would be in constant contendership and maybe short reigns as champion but he's not the guy I'm going to pick as my "franchise".

     

    DUDE I whole heartedly agree about the RVD stuff.

  2. Not sure if I'd use the words "pushed too quick". He's a star. He has a genuine connection to the fans. He's different to everyone else. He can still go. I'd push him pretty hard as a unique attraction... but I wouldn't have made him Champion either. If I were running TNA, I'd have one of my homegrown babyfaces holding the belt. Not an ex-WCW/WWE guy.

     

    Although with the whole EV2.0 thing, it kinda works to have an ECW guy holding the strap.

     

    Personally I think they should have had him defend the title at Hardcore Justice, as it would entice TNA fans to watch instead of just ECW and/or Hardcore Fans.
