View Full Version : Rob Van Dam Gives His Notice To WWE?

Rob Van Dam did the clean job for Hardcore Holly at the 1/30 ECW show because he likely gave his notice to WWE officials. He had until the end of last week to give his notice or else his expiring contract would roll over under the same terms. We should know in a few days if he actually did though; it hasn't been 100% confirmed at press time. If he did, he would be able to negotiate with other companies, namely TNA, or even if with WWE again under some new terms. Had he not, he wouldn't be able to at least weigh his options.

What is known is that RVD has had his mind set on leaving WWE when his contract expires and that he had planned to give his notice. RVD probably giving his notice explains why he had no part in the "ECW Originals" angle on last week's show. Also, the nature of how he lost cleanly to Holly came off as a "giving notice" job. On the otherhand, CM Punk's job to Matt Striker was more of a "doghouse" job.

RVD's actual contract expires over the summer.

RVD is getting jobbed because he fucked up he had the whole company in his hands and got stupid and got caught with drugs by police. RVD will most likely be in TNA unless by some grace of god they let him actually do something in WWE still instead of jobbing out to jobbers.

RVD needs to jump ship to TNA because the WWE is a joke and ECW is already a sunken ship.

The latest on RVD...

In regards to Rob Van Dam's contract status, if he didn't give in his notice by the end of last week, his contract would have automatically rolled over. This doesn't mean he's leaving, but it gives him the option to leave in the summer, and they'd have to renegotiate a new deal to keep him. Van Dam's downside guarantee is about $250,000. He probably actually makes about $500,000 if you include merchandise, pay-per-view payoffs and such. Although, he worked all those low drawing ECW house shows, and thus he got a lot of $500 to $750 payoffs while on top, so that may be a high estimate. The ECW guys are now working the higher grossing SmackDown shows, so his payoffs should be back up to speed again anyways.

Also, RVD has a standing offer to go to All Japan. Although, it doesn't seem to mean nearly as much as when he was a regular there earlier in his career because they run very few dates. But between All Japan, TNA, U.S. and Europeam indies, he should still be able to make a lot with far more time off, not to mention control of his schedule. That's why there is a good possibility that he could be leaving WWE in the summer. He'll probably be able to get about $2,500 or more per date on the indie scene, along with hotel & airfare expenses paid, at least at first. But once six months to a year have passed, it may be harder for him to get as many bookings at that rate.

There is talk within WWE of trying to get its "last word" in. Figuring he's leaving, Johnny Ace may make an offer that he'll probably turn down so that he can get the last word in, not to mention as a receipt for him embarrassing at a recent company meeting (RVD made a smart alec remarks towards Ace). People within WWE say that RVD has been telling people that he plans on leaving, but other people think he'll make his decision based on WWE's money offer.

RVD is too exciting to be wasted, hopefully he goes somewhere and gets a huge push.

If anything i'd rather RVD left WWE. His matches had become just as routine as Hogan's or Hart's matches only he lacks mic skills or charisma. If he goes to TNA and is used in the X division that would be great. Pretty much a return to the ECW RVD.
