Interview Rob Van Dam: The birth of the ECW One Night Stand PPVs It was actually my idea of making the PPVs on the theme of the ECW. I thus made regular back and forth to Vince (McMahon) at a time with a whole bunch of ideas. I told him look, all these wrestlers you have under contract, they are passed by ECW. Make a meeting show. This will be awesome! You are Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Spike Dudley. He told me I hadnt realized this!. I then followed up by saying you dont need to bring that whatsoever, let us just for one evening that was before. He agreed and it obviously worked. WWE Performance Center It was an interesting experience to discover this area of development. There is a lot of talent out there. I was impressed also by the realized production there in Orlando for NXT (...) I know that most of WWE talent come from there. It is a good thing. These guys are fighting for four years and when they come out, one gets the impression they took 10 years of experience. This is the result of a combination of things that make that NXT is an excellent training facility. In addition, many wrestlers come from families deemed in the fight world and grew up in this business. When I say much, it is really a lot. I counted 17. I used to work with their parents for some (...) Facing Adrian Neville to NXT The things that made Adrian are movements we had over seen for a long time and I was doing at the time. I know Adrian Neville for several years. I have even played it in Europe for several European federations when I left the WWE in 2007. It was during my period of three years prior to joining TNA. During this period, I struggled outside the USA and often Adrian Neville was in these shows. I was repeatedly impressed when I saw him. He is currently at a level it had never reached and it is in the right place to ensure a bright future. The formation of teams Quite often, especially in my day, you tap in the locker room, you put your boots, you étiriez and then told you what was planned for you evening. An officer arrived as well and you said Hey, tonight its you and Kane against Gene Snitsky and Scotty 2 Hotty. It worked like this. You were saying just Ok. Once I did team with Kevin Nash and you never know in advance if this is only for one evening where if it will also happen the next few weeks. It is watched both and we said Hey, I think were a team now. Fight on TV People are not necessarily the fact that you do not control the situation. You are told it is you against Khali. You have two minutes. How to manage the match? Is there a chance that I place a Van Terminator? No, this would not stick. In reality, nothing sticks for this kind of as short games. Everything is centered around the time management. It was not like this before. This is the big difference. When I was in ECW, Paul (Heyman) did ever indication on the duration of the games, whether its for the PPVs or TV shows. He said just to go there and steal the show. You live the experience in a totally different way. You could relax during certain times and interact with the audience. Since it became go go go, it goes. You have more than four minutes before the next page of advertisements. Go go, there is still two games. This gives me the impression of losing my artistic freedom.
