Rob Van Dam Says John Cena Will “Master” His Heel Persona

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam (RVD) recently appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including facing John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006 in front of a raucous crowd.

RVD said, “Yeah, that’s true. He knew what to do that night perfectly at One Night Stand, and he’s really great at what he does. So I think he’s going to really master the heel persona and take it some places that we didn’t expect. By the way I mentioned this before but I had seen him get booed. It wasn’t a lot but leading up to that One Night Stand match there was a town or two, I think it was in Wales the first time that I’ve heard it, was very similar to the vibe in Hammerstein Ballroom. Anyway, that was the first time I saw him get booed and he was great. I don’t know if I told you this story or not, but I’d never seen him [get booed]. Then he was like, ‘Good. That’s right. Boo me. Let me know how you feel. As long as you’re out there in the crowd and you’re expressing yourself and you’re screaming I know you’re having a good time and that’s what it’s all about tonight.’ Obviously he turned them and all of a sudden they were cheering him, I was like wow that’s why he gets paid the big bucks.”

On a fan interfering in his match against Eddie Guerrero:

“It wasn’t the first time that I had that happen, or seen it happen, or have it happen when I’m in the ring. So I was just thinking do they got it or do I need to do something? No, it looks like they got it. Alright, cool I’m just going to keep working. Well usually I find when the fans decide to breach the safety zone and get into the ring, usually everyone in the business wants them to regret it, that’s gotta be safe for us. It can’t be a normal thing to have to look, turn around and watch your back while you’re trying to watch your front. I remember Sabu talking about Puerto Rico years ago, way before I ever went. He was saying that to get to the ring the wrestlers had to go underneath the bleachers and that they would drop rats on them. Another thing he said they would do would be heat up coins. They would heat up coins, get them super hot, and then drop them on them, or even throw them at him in the ring. I wouldn’t want that to be the norm, let Puerto Rico keep that. I don’t think I saw him until probably when he was coming through the ropes. But there was never a point where I thought anybody was in trouble except maybe the fan. I saw what he was doing, Eddie landed right on his feet and once they were facing off I already know it’s over.”
