rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 RVD has, to a degree, more power than most mid-card wrestlers when nagotiating a new contract. Him going to TNA would do more damage than most midcarders, simply because he is so over with all types of fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Apparently they've argued him down to 3 burying's a year as opposed to the original proposed number of 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Why wouldn't WWE want him to stay? They can really fuck with him then. Unless you're Hulk Hogan, no one gets "World Champion at least once" in their contracts. And lets face it, RVD isn't going to get creative control of his career in this life time.

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 What WWE will do is saddle him with the IC title. If he's stuck as the champ of the midcard, he can't possibly get the World title. Watch out Honky Tonk, your record is in trouble now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 But if WWE allows Rob to leave, think of how much money they would lose in their marketing departure. Surely, they couldn't be that foolish, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 JR: Ok Rob, I think we can come to an agreement here. Everything that you asked for seems reasonable enough... RVD: Great, lemme just read the contract over one more time. *Reads* Mmmhmm, mmmhmm, ok, ok, I like that, that's cool... ah, the ol McMahon/HHH clause, that's a classic... oh wait a sec... JR, you forgot one thing... JR: Listen Rob, we can't include "that", for legal puposes we can't, but I assure you I've spoken with the writers and they're fine with it, they'll let you in once a week and everything will be "cool", ok? RVD: Sure, as long as I get to meet with them. JR: You will. They will have a seat reserved just for you. RVD: Good, cause damn, I gotsta try what they're smokin... to write storylines like that? It has to be some premium shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 RVD has more power over his negotiations than most midarders...because the other midcarders want to stay more. They need to give RVD something in return...which is why I suspect Vince will just blow a fuse and wash his hand of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
