On a recent edition of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, Rob Van Dam lavished praise on certain AEW talents for their incredible work in the ring.
RVD said, “Brian Cage is pretty awesome. I kind of like to watch everyone and try to learn who they are, learn about their character, whatever. But there’s certain guys — I know when Penta is in there, and his brother [Rey Fénix], I know they’re going to be doing some pretty cool and amazing stuff. So I look for that.
“I like to watch people, and I look for what you expect from them, I guess. I mean, Darby [Allin] is known as the crash dummy now, right? … I’ll be looking for him to see what kind of crazy bumps he takes.”
Rob Van Dam fought Swerve Strickland in a losing effort in the main event of this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
