Rob Van Dam Wrestling on April 20th AEW Collision

AEW will feature Rob Van Dam in action on Saturday's Rampage. RVD is being brought back for the "420" festivities. Collision and Rampage are airing back to back live. Rampage moved from Friday to Saturday and will know be shown live instead of taped like it usually is.

Tony Khan spoke on the Battleground Podcast and talked about bringing in "The Whole F'n Show" for this Saturday's shows.

“Well, it’s 4/20 on Saturday. So I thought it would be very fitting to bring RVD to Peoria and have RVD as part of this weekend’s Collision. So, we are going to have a huge Dynamite tonight on TBS."

It's been announced that RVD will take on Lee Johnson, Isiah Kassidy and Komander in a "High Flying 420 Elimination Four-Way" on Rampage. Van Dam last match in AEW was a trios tag loss with Hook and Adam Page against Brian Cage, Swerve Strickland and Samoa Joe. RVD first debuted for AEW last August when he unsuccessfully challenged former FTW Champion Jack Perry for the Title. Rob's appearances in AEW have garnered praise from heaps of fans online.

If you have access to Rob Van Dam and your show's airing on April 20th, you have to use him. RVD is one of the most synonymous wrestlers with the "ganja" in wrestling history. What do you think about RVD coming back to AEW for the April 20th edition of Rampage?

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show. WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

Maybe the third time in the future will be the charm. I wonder what happens to Parker Boudreaux. He has the look of a future World Heavyweight Cha
