During an exclusive interview with GamesHub, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam spoke on a number of topics, including WWE’s Logan Paul. RVD said the Paul would have not been accepted in the 2000s.
“There’s no doubt that Logan is exceptionally good at what he is doing. I still don’t think that he does what we’ve been doing for 30 years and I’ve heard from wrestlers that are in the ring with him wrestling that it’s not like wrestling a veteran, it’s more like wrestling someone that’s just had a few matches. So he probably fits in today’s product a lot more than he would’ve in say the 2000s. He wouldn’t have been able to just come in and do all of that, there were a lot of veterans around that wouldn’t allow it.”
RVD also commented on John Cena’s retirement, TNA vs. AEW and much more!
On John Cena’s retirement:
“I feel like what they did with Cena retiring was really special. I don’t remember anybody’s retirement being built up and pushed to mean that much. But then again, it seems all I’m reading is that Brock Lesnar is going to be the next guy to get a retirement tour. Then as soon as I read that, it feels like it waters down the importance of that being what it was. So automatically when other wrestlers are talking about doing retirement tours, I have to start comparing their importance.”
On TNA vs. AEW:
“I expect TNA are doing better than they ever did before, but I haven’t seen it much lately. In the bubble that I live in, it seems like the fans talk about AEW a lot more than TNA. I think that TNA has been around so long that if you don’t follow every step of their growth, they may seem stagnant just in the back of your mind. But to answer who’s bigger, I would probably think it would be WWE, AEW and then TNA, in my opinion.”
