Rob Van Dam Recalls ECW Locker Room Reaction To Sid Vicious Coming In

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam (RVD) recently took to an episode of his โ€œ1 Of A Kindโ€ podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including Sid Vicious.

RVD said, โ€œWhen he came into ECW, I was new. I think that was โ€™96. So I was just stoked that he was there, because I thought heโ€™s always been one of my favorite monster heels. Heโ€™s just so intense, big f**king seven-foot Frankenstein-looking motherf***er, you know, like, boom. Iโ€™ve always been a fan.โ€

On the reaction from the ECW locker room to Sid Vicious coming in:

โ€œI know we really liked him, me and Sabu anyway. I mean, I think everybody did. I remember like he got a lot of respect from us. We were glad to have him there, and it was one of those moments that made our company feel bigger and more legitimized, and add a little more credibility to it. Which by the way, is what one of the AEW wrestlers told me last time, or last couple times that Iโ€™m there, that thatโ€™s what I do for them. Him speaking for everybody, but anyway, a little circle of life there. Not that Iโ€™m the main event wrestling against Hulk Hogan like Sid was. But you know, different times brother, different times.โ€
