Yesterday on the Edlow Podcast YouTube channel, Rob Van Dam was interviewed. Here is the video:
This is the description from the video:
In this episode of The Edlow Podcast, RVD reflects on his groundbreaking rise through ECW, the criticism he faced from old-school wrestlers for introducing a high-flying style that would eventually change the industry, and the challenge of adapting from the extreme environment of ECW to WWE.
He opens up about the disappointment of missing the first ECW One Night Stand, why his victory over John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006 remains the pinnacle of his career, and the backlash he received after saying that missing the original One Night Stand hurt more than missing WrestleMania.
Rob also shares the difficult story behind his WWE Championship reign being cut short following a 30-day Wellness Policy suspension after a cannabis-related arrest, and why he believes he was years ahead of his time in advocating for the legalization and medical use of marijuana. Today, he discusses his passion for cannabis education and why he continues to champion its benefits.
The conversation then turns deeply personal as Rob discusses the depression and heartbreak he experienced during his divorce, what he learned from being married to the wrong person, and how meeting his current wife transformed his life. He explains why he is happier than he has ever been, how becoming a father changed his perspective forever, and why real success has nothing to do with championships.
