Randy Orton dropped to the ground halfway up the ramp during a suicide dive attempt in a dark match last Friday, a fan asked him what happened, his response: “I just don’t wanna get landed on.”
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has a hectic schedule and has a lot on his plate. He seemingly thought Rob Van Dam was already in the WWE Hall of Fame prior to his 2021 induction. The former WWE Champion recently appeared on Busted Open to talk about getting the call to join the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame after having an illustrious career in the pro-wrestling industry.
Rob Van Dam talks about getting a call for Hall of Fame induction
During the podcast, RVD went on to talk about getting the call to be in the 2021 Hall of Fame. He said that it was Michael Hayes who broke to Vince that RVD was not into the Hall of Fame before 2021. Here is what RVD revealed:
“It was cool. You know, whenever that 203 area code shows up on my cell phone, I’m like, ‘Okay, let me see. Let me try and identify my feelings about it.’ It was Johnny Ace. He said, ‘Hey, Vince wanted me to call you in and see if you’re interested in being inducted in the Hall of Fame this year.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, it would be an honor. Absolutely,’” Van Dam said.
“I learned that, I think it was Michael Hayes that told me that they were sitting around the table like they do when it came up. I guess Vince said something to the effect of ‘Too bad RVD is already in the Hall of Fame, or he’d be a good candidate for this year’, and someone said, I think it was Michael Hayes, said, ‘Vince, RVD is not in the Hall of Fame.’ He thought I was and was like, ‘What?’ So, pretty cool how that went down and I’m glad, obviously, to be part of it.”
