RVD Admits ECW Was Never Built For Mainstream Wrestling Success

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam (RVD) recently appeared on his “1 Of A Kind” podcast episode. He discussed several topics, including how he always knew ECW was going to be a niche promotion.

RVD said, “When I was in ECW, I just wanted to get the exposure so that we would have enough people watch it so I wouldn’t have to leave ECW and go to one of the other companies. But now I realize it was always going to be a niche crowd that was going to — and I was part of that niche crowd. And all of us that were in ECW feel like that was the superior form of entertainment. But I know now that mainstream would disagree, and so we would never be able to — I shouldn’t say we wouldn’t be able to be taken seriously. But we definitely couldn’t get up to compete with one of the top big dogs that we’re doing at mainstream style. That never would have happened, if we were given everything lined up perfect for us to work out it still would have been just a certain niche part of the majority of people that were like-minded like us. They’ll be like, ‘Ooh, that was so cool!’ And most people you know need, need things simplified, explained out more cartoonish and — you know, just more mainstream. When you’re mainstream, you’re reaching a lot more people. So you gotta take kids into consideration. That’s a big part of it.”
