Rob Van Dam Open To Extended Run In AEW

Rob Van Dam has made several in-ring appearances for All Elite Wrestling, with the ECW icon last wrestling for the promotion on April 20. 

Whilst the ‘Whole F****** Show’ has wrestled six times in eight months for AEW, he is open to having more of a run in the company, saying the following on the 1 of a Kind podcast:

“I would like to think that I’m open to any conversation. So anything’s worth considering. Let’s hear what you got in mind, whatever. But no, I don’t have any of those talks. What you see is what you get, and that’s all anybody is talking about. All anyone is talking about doing, let me put it that way," said Van Dam when asked about a longer run in AEW.

Van Dam continued, noting how wrestling sporadically means he isn’t as sharp as he could be with more reps:

"One thing the fans don’t take into consideration that I do, it’s cool having time off and I don’t want to be full-time, anything like that. But it is a big disadvantage, being in the ring, because no matter how much conditioning that I do, there’s no wrestling conditioning like wrestling. So if I was wrestling like every week, instead of sometimes every six weeks, maybe eight weeks, whatever, then you would have a little bit even more fluid RVD. So for people who haven’t thought about that, that are like, ‘Well, he might not quite be what he used to be,’ and whatever, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m not saying I’m not 53. But I am saying that’s something you probably don’t even think about is that it’s a big advantage when you’re in ring condition because you’re in there doing it. That is one thing that I think about when I think about working weekly or under contract with an actual job versus just taking the shots here and there. There’s pros and cons obviously to both," said Van Dam.
