Kurt Angle On His First Impressions Of Rob Van Dam

Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Paul Bromwell to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

How RVD didn't have multiple world championships is baffling

[theUFOpilot]

I just met rob van dam a few weeks ago when he went Solar. A great guy. A very chill stoner

[ramses]

Rvd was the reason I watched the invasion angle

[pierreklee]

Rob is a friend of mine and what Kurt says is exactly right.

[armandogomez]

I remember hearing his name but never seeing a match of his. First match of his I saw was vs Jeff hardy at invasion instantly a fan.

[TheProphegy]

RVD had the look and style and was an awesome acrobatic. WWE would’ve been crazy to not make him a star after the collapse of ECW.

[KnowPhere]

Rob wasn’t a kiss ass or played childish politics.he let his talent do the talking. Sure he likes weed but who doesn’t? Better than the other drug addicts on the roster.

[emiliomarbanjr]

RVD my all time favourite. He is one of a kind. His style can be copied but not matched. He has one of the best selling of all time too. Better than Michaels.

[newingedcrow]

You're a few days early. National RVD day is April 20th.

[arturorivera]

Rob was considered Kurt's best rival at one point because a lot of people considered either one to be the greatest ever when they were facing eachother .

[horncrownedproductions]

Jerry Lynn wasn't in ECW yet when Kurt made his appearance. He wasn't even there until after Raven had left so no way was he there the night of the crucifixion.

[elliotness]

You need to come back and do some management a.e.w.. I have a friend that reminds kinda of you what wrestler pro wrestling won trophy's.. I grew up through the old era and suplexed many times I can't wrestle lol i kick box etc German suplex etc all pass.. on that.. lol 😂

[marcbasil]

Guy was such a huge waste of potential.

[fmthebaron]

He smoked a lot of weed which got him heat from the Company. Him botching on Triple H in 2002 in Elimination Chamber got him heat. Also him refusing to go oversees to the Tribute to the Troops got him heat as well.

[phyush]

The whole show love RVD. How can you not he brought extreme from the beginning

[eXoMuZiK]

R.v.d is in his own class, he's no hbk, nor Jericho, nor aj styles ecw he was the shit

[Marc_Araujo]

The match RVD and Jeff Hardy had at the WWF Invasion PPV for the Hardcore championship was easily the best match on the card.
