RVD Returning

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Unless I'm mistaken RVD had one TNA title reign in 2010, but people were still completely shitting on him until he left in 2013. But when he showed up in 2013 in WWE, it was all puppies and rainbows because it is great to have RVD around.

And I think that's just because most people (present company not included in the phrase "most people") just enjoy watching the guy perform. He is one of the all-time great high flyers in pro wrestling and his style was groundbreaking when he first entered the business. From that perspective, there's something of a nostalgia rub people get watching him.

And I can even enjoy a well-worked RVD match, so long as he's kept completely away from the main event/world title picture.

I haven't seen any of his work in TNA, but I've heard people claim (even on this forum) that RVD was rather lazy and unmotivated during his tenure there, and so people assumed he'd just be more of the same when he returned to WWE last year (even though he wasn't.)

It sure seemed like more of the same to me. Same spots he always does in pretty much the same order. Nothing major changed from his TNA match style to his WWE 2013 match style.

In all fairness, nothing's really changed from his ECW days so far as his match style, pacing, etc.

Agreed, which is why I say: he falls into the same category to me as performers like Big Show, Christian, ect of guys who I have been seeing since the 90s and they haven't really evolved all that much, leaving me sick of seeing them after all these years.

God I hate RVD.

Fuck RVD. Like with a large metal object.

Meh. He'll just be another random babyface doing nothing in midcard hell. As long as he doesn't start going over young guys he shouldn't be going over, it's fine.
