WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam recently took to an episode of his โ€œOne of a Kindโ€ podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including why he doesn’t like performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

RVD said, โ€œI always feel like Iโ€™m insulting people because their pinnacle of sports is MSG. And I can tell by how excited everyone gets, like, โ€˜oh my God, weโ€™re at MSG.โ€™ And for me, since I didnโ€™t have the nostalgia factor, for me it was a lot more. It was a lot more, just like two small compact, you know. The way I remember it was that everyoneโ€™s bags take up the entire dressing room and you canโ€™t even fit a person and all the bags. Youโ€™ve got to go in like one at a time to dress and it was just not my favorite building to go to. And I always feel like when I say that that Iโ€™m like, you know, sorry for, you know, New Yorkers and everyone that grew up idolizing the gardens and making that their, their holy, you know, bucket list destination like I donโ€™t argue with you in your values. But for me, itโ€™s not my favorite place. Thereโ€™s one toilet for 20 wrestlers. How how clean you think that toilet is going to be by f**k up?โ€
