Rob Van Dam Reveals Why He Doesn’t Often Work With His Wife Katie Forbes

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam recently took to his “1 Of A Kind” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including his wife, Katie Forbes, and why they often don’t work wrestling shows together.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On why he isn’t in the ring with her much: “I’ve been in the ring with her very few times … because I’m so stiff, and right away, when I met her, and the first couple of times I went to a wrestling school with her, it was in LA, Santino Brothers … she’s going up on the top rope and jumping off, doing a springboard off the middle and landing on the guy, doing a hurricanrana. I’m like ‘Holy crap!’ I couldn’t believe that she was doing all these moves. I was like ‘Wow. You’re acrobatic, that’s amazing.’”

On Forbes not wanting to disappoint RVD: “Even when she’s at shows and has her matches, a lot of times she’d rather me not be there because … I don’t know, she thinks she’s going to disappoint me? ‘Cause I mean, I’m just … maybe because I don’t want to also just say ‘Hey, great job. Great job.’ I’m just like, ‘Do you want some advice that can maybe help you get better?’ And a lot of people hearing that, as much as it can help, I think sometimes, that makes her nervous, ’cause she knows that I have higher standards than … her peers at these all-girl wrestling shows that she’s doing.”
