Kurt Angle Recalls Rob Van Dam Being Full Of Ideas After Getting 'High As A Kite’
Rob Van Dam was inspired whilst high says Kurt Angle
RVD 4:20 says “I just smoked your ass”, and it seems that Rob Van Dam’s well-documented love of marijuana also helped him come up with ideas for his matches.
Someone who experienced Van Dam’s creativity first-hand was Kurt Angle, and during a recent episode of the Kurt Angle Show Podcast, Angle revealed how a pre-match smoke break transformed RVD’s way of thinking:
“Well, this is what Rob did. You go to Rob and say, ‘Hey Rob we have a match tonight’. He’d say, ‘Okay. Give me five minutes’. He would go outside and smoke for five minutes, get high as a kite, and then come back in and he was full of ideas,” revealed Angle, before adding, “It’s like beforehand he had nothing to give, but he went out there and smoked outside… he had like million ideas. It was just incredible. So Rob was better high than he was sober.”
Angle and Van Dam only wrestled a handful of times across WWE and TNA, and Angle admits that he would have loved to have had a long feud with ‘Mr. Monday Night’:
“He is very underrated from a promo standpoint. He’s articulate, he does it in his own way like whole, ‘Hey dude, I don’t really care dude.’ But he’s actually surprisingly good at that. I would have loved to have a program, a long program with him. That would’ve been my favourite program I think,” admitted Angle.
