Rob Van Dam Full Shoot Interview with Hannibal

[@CarnivoreAF]

We smoked weed with RVD outside of the Golden dome in Monaca Pennsylvania before and ECW event. The double door outback flew open and we thought we were busted. RVD walked out and said “who’s smoking out here?”. We were just like it’s us thinking we were about to get in trouble and RVD says “we’ll pass that shit.” Dude is the coolest guy ever!

when i was a kid i really believed he was jean claudes twin brother who just decided to do pro wrestling instead acting in movies, has to be one of the greatest gimmicks of all time, he even had all the kicks and poses down better than the real jcvd

41:10 The Pushback with Being RVD

[@bad_news2303]

Ecw was something special the best things always die early.

[@polymathing]

Man remember the first time RVD busted out the Van Terminator at Heatwave? That was insanity. RVD always found new ways to blow your mind and push the martial arts/athletic boundries of wrestling

[@buzzbear822]

Damn right

[@steviep76]

I’ve been lovin weed since 95, but RVD hits me with new cannabis knowledge every time. One of a kind

[@TomTom-rh5gk]

Rob Van Dam is by far my favorite wrestler. He seems self aware.

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

Dude I was just going to say the same thing. I have a Martial Arts background so when I first saw that full split, I was hooked. Plus I've got that hippy spirit! even though I've never smoke anything in my life! Alright weed maybe 20 times in my life and have had cancer 5 times! .

[@jasondavis7168]

I just wanna thank Rob for everything, your a true inspiration, ECFNW

[@stratmaniac8436]

RVD was always my fav wrestler he was very unpredictable when he work which was very entertain to watch. His work in ECW was the best

[@luisgregoryhinojosa]

RVD always a fan since the 90’s. So good to see your healthy and doing well 👍🏼 Light it up Rob !

[@JofoInTheRing]

yeah man, hes awsome!

[@Devildog1979]

RVD has to be the coolest most honest guy ever and clearly very intelligent, so awesome that he's doing all this to help people and never mentions himself, awesome awesome dude!!!

[@MGoJr]

I watched wrestling for 35 years and the two most talented athletes with strength I seen were a YOUNG Scott Steiner and this man. They both have done moves no one can or has since. Just crazy they are both from the state of Michigan.Sort of like Mike Vick and Lawerance Taylor being from the same part of Virginia. Oh and Steiner and RVD are honest straight shooters who don’t kiss azz.

[@CreationsVibration]

The whole fucking show

[@JustinTNAWWEGuy]

RVD ECW Icon one of the best I've ever seen 1999 was his year

[@lowlifeangler]

Saw him in 99, 2nd row ECW event. He can fly

[@jakeshaffer9176]

Thanks HANNIBAL, you continue to give us quality content!

[@richardremick1639]

I met Rob at a wrestling convention in Ny shades on during the pictures just super laid back and cool loved him very very nice chill guy

[@j.c.ca.o.l7035]

Great interview, love that he is smoking a joint during the interview.

[@louiscsanko3673]

RVD, I AM AMAZED AT HOW INTELLIGENT YOU ARE. YOU KNOW SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THE " BIOCHEMICAL INTRICACIES OF THE BRAIN AND BODY!!! STEM CELL TREATMENTS ARE VERY PROMISING. 👍👍

[@HippySpeedballPodcast]

It's one of my dreams to get him on my podcast. Such a great dude! Been watching him since I was a kid and this makes him even cooler. Someday!

[@gregorykrug8034]

RVD is one of my top ten favorites.

[@barrygearheart7000]

RVD fan right here!!!

[@TomTom-tz7zf]

thank you for your matches against sabu in ecw. you guys were me and my brothers favorite wrestlers during that era. you 2 were ecw to us . i cant think of rob or sabu without bringing up the other. there was no better duo. when two equals are doing battle you cant get anything but greatness. thank you rob. im 5 min into this video and already in the scrolling chat box someone has brought up sabu. beautiful.

[@robertgibbs7513]

I'm glad you got RVD finally on your show he did a great John Claude Van Damme impression

[@karozhun_0895]

Great inteview as usual, this guy revolutionized alot in the sport and is in my top 5 all time

[@johnreece5540]

Rob Van Damme was and is "The Whole FN Show". Sabu and Van Damme one of the best rivalries and best tag teams of all time.

[@hulkrulz-im6lq]

My favorite RVD interview by far is this one!

[@JohnDoe-ym5ly]

That story about Warrior was awesome.

[@Tony_1294]

Hell Yeah an RVD interview!!!!

[@NYKgjl10]

Black Eagle with Sho Kosugi and JCVD was an underrated film. It was okay and watchable. BTW, I saw RVD in Stamford, C.T. back in late 1997 in the ECW November to Remember tour. Very chill guy and easy to talk with. He appreciates his fans without question!!

BEST INTERVIEW SO FAR. One of the few I watched twice. Your getting even BETTER at this interview business; you really let them unwind: What was the question? Your 50's are the teenage years of old age and DUDE looks incredibly healthy & wasn't scratching his nose every 42 seconds on opiates saturation limits and tripped over his dog... I never knew he was with Ivelisse: Mario Puzzo of Godfather fame said that Judas Iscariot who betrayed Christ is believed to have had red hair. When I read that it occurred to me every red head I knew screwed me over... DUDE aught to be pulling down 10k a month training rookies in his backyard. You still forgot to ask what i really want to know: How many referees did he beat up? #MAGA2020
