| ROB VAN DAM Height: 6 foot Weight: 220 pounds From: Battle Creek, Michigan Finishing Move: Five-star Frog Splash Career Highlights: Intercontinental Champion; World Tag Team Champion; Hardcore Champion; ECW Television Champion; ECW Tag Team Champion Many consider Rob Van Dam to be the finest WWE athlete to never hold the World Heavyweight or WWE Championship. But because of his incredible talent and Spartan work ethic, RVD’s reign at the top may not be far away, especially now because he is on the SmackDown! roster. While competing for ECW, RVD combined his scintillating martial arts skills and eye-popping maneuvers to develop a huge following that made his move to WWE enormously successful. Since coming to WWE, RVD’s popularity has exploded and his appearances on RAW were considered a highlight week after week. He should have no problems establishing the same following on SmackDown! At 6 foot, 220 pounds, RVD may not be the largest man in the ring, but he regularly brings the largest fight with him and as a result has excelled against Superstars nearly twice his size. When his alliance with Kane ended with a Chokeslam from the monster, RVD was not deterred to step into the ring with his former partner and hold his own. His quickness, strength, and ability to counter just about any move, combined with an incredible offensive arsenal from inside or above the ring makes RVD not only dangerous, but very popular as well. |
