I do want tlo see RVD go to TNA, but I know it's just going to turn out like Angle going. They'll hot-shot a money feud and put over RVD rather than the new talent.

The best thing they could do with him is reinvigorate his fued with Jerry Lynn. That way it's not new talent jobbing to a veteran, it's two veterans putting on great matches.

The one thing that worries me (not for myself because I'm an RVD mark, but for TNA fans in general) is that TNA will see him as the Holy Grail, and will hotshot him straight into being Mr. TNA.

What will suck about him going to TNA is that he won't be (to the best of my knowlege) allowed to use the name Rob Van Dam.

Yeah he can. He's legally owned the name (with paperwork, unlike the Dudleyz) for years. WWE only has a trademark on it while he's employed by them.

Worst case scenario, if WWE does try to prevent him from using it, he can legally change his middle name to 'Van Dam', and then they can't stop him from calling himself Rob Van Dam.

It costs $110 to change a name.

RVD = no loss. There isn't much left for him to do in WWE anyway.

O, ok then, thanks.

Yay, RVD to TNA means another anti-WWE rant by a, disgruntled, former employee. RVD's problems in the WWE are his own fault. He got himself to the top and screwed it all up, its nobody else's fault but RVD.

He just sped up what was going to happen anyway.

I think its funny how RVD gets caught with weed and he's a bad guy while Vince sticks needles up half of his rosters ass

Wouldn't that just make them both bad guys? Not like other people breaking the law makes RVD less stupid.

RVD is the man, and I'd love to see in him TNA.

I'd put RVD in the X-Division at first, for classic matches with Lynn, Daniels, and maybe Austin Starr.

Then after a good 5 months in the X-Division, I'd put him in the NWA title hunt.

Joe vs RVD would be freaking epic. Make it happen.

That press slam backflip moonsault=one of the sickest combos in wrestling history.

I think in the right environment RVD still has it.

[KB Klash is nWo 4 Life]

I cant wait for RVD to be Mr. T-N-A.

Remember kids, it's not about weight limits; its about NO LIMITS!

What has WWE done to wrong RVD, really?

I mean I'm huge fan of RVD but all of this depush crap is his fault. He was the one that screwed up and is being punished for it. A punishment which could be far worse. Hell, he could have been fired yet he wasn't.

And while this rule is really stupid, I find him very childish in asking. RVD is a great talent, but nobody is above punishment and earning your dues. Hell, Triple H went through a punishment phase and he came out okay.

:oRVD is going to marry Stephanie too?!?!?!? WAFFLEZZ!!!

Dude did screw himself with a MAJORLY stupid move but he has been way-over for years and only finally got his shot because they decided to bring-back ECW. Plus I hardly think he gets the Cena treatment if he hadn't screwed-himself.

He is one of a few guys in ECW that are over and worth watching. Losing him would be a major shot.

An uppercard with RVD, Angle, Abyss, Cage, Joe, and Styles would be impressive.

The company is going all out to sign up RVD. Not because they want to keep him particularly, but just to stop him going to TNA. RVD though gives the impression that he's as good as gone.

Before the 1/16 show Vince and John Laurinaitis made a big speech about Sylvan being arrested for speeding as he was trying to get back from the gym to a show and as a result of that the boys are no longer allowed to go to the gym after checking in at the building.

RVD then said, in front of Vince to Johnny 'Ace' Laurinaitis and in a very mocking tone "Johnny, can we go to the gym before we come to building?" He sounded like a little boy who's at his last day at a school so knows he can say what he wants to his teachers.

He really does seem like not caring anymore about being there.

In a related story, one of Ace's many bimbos got fired for not knowing who Stephanie McMahon was. As a result, no more women will be hired again, ever, ever, ever, Ever, Ever, EVER, EVER-EVER-EVER until next Tuesday.
