RVD reveals he was hesitant to join WWE in 2001
Mr. Friday Night was one of the mainstays of ECW before it closed down. Many of the stars were then moved to the Stamford-based promotion.
While speaking on his One of A Kind podcast, he said he didn't want to join the Stamford-based promotion because he believed they would alter his character.
“That’s why I didn’t want to go to WWE in 2001. I was afraid that they would give me some lame character and change everything about me. That really bothered me because, obviously, it’s always been important for me to be myself, and I really thought that was going to be up for battle. I thought they were going to come up with some lame, who knows what," he said.
On a recent Dynamite, RVD returned to face Swerve Strickland in a hardcore match. Unfortunately, the 53-year-old star lost.
