The trailblazing journey of Rob Van Dam is detailed on the WWE Network this weekend, as a special episode of WWE Icons airs this Sunday.
Van Dam spent an entire career battling against the demand for conformity. His unique path, coupled with a distinctively violent style of high-flying, helped innovate an entirely new approach to pro wrestling.
Now 50, Rob Szatkowski reflects on his time as Rob Van Dam in this WWE documentary series. Insight is also provided from Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman and a number of stars from ECW, including Sabu.
“I hung on to my core values,” said Van Dam, speaking with Sports Illustrated.
