Van Dam felt it would not be good for his standing in the business.
Netflix rolled out the announcement that the docuseries about former WWE CEO Vince McMahon is hitting their service on September 25th. There will be six one-hour episodes.
WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam discussed the documentary on his 1 Of A Kind With RVD podcast. He revealed he was contacted to be an interview subject but turned it down. Van Dam feels it would not be good for his position in the business.
They did contact me a couple times actually about participating in the interviews (for Netflix’s Vince McMahon docuseries) and it wasn’t something that I opted to do. Wasn’t a choice that would be conducive with my position in the business, in the industry. So I passed and I told them I look forward to seeing it, and I do and I hope that they cover a lot of different grounds instead of just jumping to the main pillars of whatever story they choose to tell.
At the age of 53, Van Dam continues to be active in the ring. From August 2023 to February 2024, he worked five dates for All Elite Wrestling.
His first match for the company was challenging Jack Perry for the FTW Championship.
