Rob Van Dam Doesn’t Want A Backstage Role In Wrestling

On the latest episode of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, Rob Van Dam explained why he doesn’t want to accept a backstage role in wrestling, specifically that of an agent or a trainer. The “Whole F’n Show” said,

“When I think of the agents, and I don’t mean to insult any, but just from, subjective to my views being there, it was the kind of job that, to me, as talent, they looked kind of like stooges. And that’s because they seemed afraid for their job and wanted to make the right calls, and hoping the matches they got assigned to were the better matches of the night, which is also subjective. They wanted to make Vince [McMahon] happy and wanted to be on the winning side of any debate. So I don’t know if I would … outside of that, it could be a real important job. I don’t think I’ve got the patience to be a trainer. I could tell somebody one or two times, and then I said it, and I’m like, ‘Dude, I told you not to do that. Why do you keep doing that? I’m done.’ I’m banging my head on a wall. And I hurt people when I’m training them. So I don’t know.”

RVD last competed at Battleground Championship Wrestling Tribute To The Extreme event where he defeated Rhino in a singles contest.
