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 who he would have wanted to wrestle in the late 90s in the company.

RVD said, โ€œWas there anyone there that I saw that I would have liked to have had a long match with? Or an angle or something? Owen [Hart] would have been awesome.โ€

On Rip Rogers bullying him in a 1993 match:

โ€œOh yeah. Yeah, like in 1993, Rip Rogers bullied me in the ring. He was like โ€” [laughs] he turned to the crowd and go, โ€˜Heโ€™s green! โ€˜He was bitter about having to put me over. And I was green. Yeah, of course, Iโ€™ve been bullied just like anybody. You know, itโ€™s part of what shapes us. Try not to pass it on.โ€
