Rob Van Dam On His Favorite Opponents

Rob Van Dam did a Q&A for Pro Wrestling Junkies, he was asked who some of his favorite opponents have been through his storied career.

“I guess to really break it down like that, I’ll start with ECW and say that Sabu and Jerry Lynn were my favorites to work with. The matches with Sabu were just insane, but my stuff with Jerry Lynn was really competitive and a lot of fun back then. We were just constantly trying to one-up each other. In WWE, I loved working Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy because we had the same kind of mindset when it comes to thinking outside the box. As for Impact or TNA, I’d have to say AJ Styles. I don’t think we ever had an instant classic or anything, but he was just so f–king good. As far as toughest opponents, I’ve always thought the tougher guys were the bigger ones. Brock Lesnar has the strength of like ten guys, so he’s tough. Big Show was always a challenge because you have to get really high up there to kick him in the face. Guys like that are a real challenge.”
