Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 13, 2002 Latest Commentary From Rob Van Dam The following message is from the RVD mailing list: "Well, it's been one year since I joined the fed. One year since my accessibility to my website had to be altered. Okay, it had to be virtually nonexistant. (Hey, I don't know if "virtually" really fit there but I figured with the internet-related subject, it might.) Anyway... After a year of persistent requests, I hope everyone appreciated the new Van Terminator. Brought it back this week, in an extreme way. As I've been saying for months: 'Well, I don't have Fonzie to hold the chair'...'maybe it's too hardcore'...'everyone's already seen Shane-O's version', etc. Well, if Paul Heyman's insulting ECW fans in Philly didn't call for it, what would? And if I'm going to do a Van Terminator at this stage, I'm going to do a new version to top everything previously accomplished or imitated! I'm bummed to learn that the Battle Creek show has been postponed. That sucks. I was looking forward to my homecoming debut. I'm going to need a little extra 'welcome home' support from Grand Rapids and Detroit to make up for it. Shouldn't be a problem. I filmed another Ultimate Revenge television show. Damn, that Ryan Seacrest is everywhere now. Good for him. Don't know when Black Mask 2 is coming out yet. I see a lot of fans sporting the RVD foam thumbs at the arenas. Way cool. At last, the action figures are out and if you haven't checked out one of the new video games featuring yours truly...you got something real good to look forward to. I wish I could get your feedback but I literally have no time to read email. Where does my time go? Hmmm, let's see... -Last week I left home on Thursday night to fly across the country to Washington, DC. -Arrived Friday morning and met Spike and the limo at 1:30 to go to Six Flags for a two-hour promotion appearance from 3:00 to 4:30. -Hour drive back to the arena for a 7:30 WWE show at the MCI center. -Next morning I flew to New York City. Got picked up at LaGuardia for another two-hour appearance. RVD at Fun Time USA in Brooklyn from 1:00 to 3:00. -After meeting hundreds and hundreds of RVD fans, which is always cool, it was time to head to Madison Square Garden for another night of wrestling action. I had a second ladder match with Guerrero here, that I think was better than the one everyone is still popping at from Raw. -Just a hop, skip, and 125-mile drive to Uncasville, Ct and I'm there, checking into a hotel just in time to get not enough sleep. -Next day of business starts with a two-hour DVD signing with Booker T. By the way, all of these appearances have outstanding turn outs, but what do you expect? They're here to see Rob Van Dam! -Off to the Mohegan Sun Arena and another night of wrestling. -Leaving the building that night, I had another 125 to drive to Manchester, NH. I'm glad when I can drive instead of flying. Flying gets sooooo old. -Another short night at a hotel and it's time to start another day. Monday at 1:00 pm is the check in time at the Verizon Wireless Arena where Monday Night Raw takes place. -After getting put through the announcer's table by the Vanilla Gorilla, I'm lucky to get out of there before midnight so I can find a great place to dine (yeah, right) and finally get some not-rest. -I catch a 7:00 am flight out of there and I'm back in Los Angeles Tuesday. Back home at last. Now what will I do with my 65 hours or so off? Uhhh...sleeping sounds good. That's the deal, RVD fans. Now try I need to fit in going to the gym, eating, returning phone calls - you know, regular everyday life things - but most importantly to me, spending quality time with SVD! Glad to share with you a little bit of what's been happening with me. I'll try to find time to do this more often but in the meantime, you know where to find me every Monday Night." --Rob Van Dam P.S. RobVanDam.com is in need of a few good men (women, too!) If you know html, web design, possess great writing skills and, of course, keep up with RVD, drop an email to [email protected] to see how you can help. Thanks!

Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted July 13, 2002 Oh this stuff is downright humble compared to the stuff Van Dam used to post on his site when he was in ECW. He had net chat sessions and those were HILARIOUS. On one he told a guy that the guy's dad should have used a condom, it was too funny. On another he badmouthed Barely Legal and said "fuck the PPV" a bunch of times. He was in his ECW heel persona, though it was hard to tell how much was work and how much was shoot. Vanilla Gorilla!

A few weeks ago he waved to me when I drove by on Porter Street. makeham (Prodigy Member): If you would venture a guess, how many of the "Nitro Girls" do you think Roadblock has nailed?

LessThanEd (Prodigy Member): Have you seen Francine naked? Rob Van Dam (Speaker): No, she changed in front of the boys the other nights and I missed. StoneCold01 (Prodigy Member): How about Buelah have you seen her naked? Rob Van Dam (Speaker): Are you kidding...I've got her in my computer! makeham (Prodigy Member): Are any of the ECW wrestlers members of the Higher Source Cult? How about Paul? How about Tod? How about Rocky the ring announcer? Rob Van Dam (Speaker): I have my suspicions.But hey...those guys were computer geeks weren't they? Maybe you are in that cult.
