Rob Van Dam and Triple H didn’t always get along.

On the latest episode of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, Rob Van Dam reflected on his past heat with Triple H and where it originated from.

“I was asked about this like a year or two ago,” Van Dam said. “Otherwise, I would have forgotten because it’s a really faint memory. And this would have been before 2004. I think it was Hunter who asked or offered. I think he pulled me aside and offered to help me with my promos and I think I was insulted by that.”

RVD continued, “My ego competitiveness made me feel like he was saying I couldn’t talk, you know, and I was like, ‘I don’t want to talk like him,’ you know? ‘He just doesn’t get me.’ And I think I felt, you know, more like that and that probably, you know, a very good chance could have led to some of the long term, long term heat that I had while I was there, possibly looking back at it.”
