Rob Van Dam Jokes About His Royalty Checks Being Affected Due To Action Figure Scammers

When you think about high-flying wrestlers, one star that comes to mind is Rob Van Dam. He is one of the most popular talents in the history of professional wrestling. The One of a Kind wrestler is currently making appearances on Tony Khan’s AEW.

Recently, a fan shared a picture of an action figure which was clearly Brother Love but was packed inside a Rob Van Dam box. The ECW veteran took note of it and replied by jokingly saying that he now understood the reason behind his royalty checks being off.

“This explains my royalty checks! ?,” Rob Van Dam tweeted.

Following Van Dam’s tweet, several fans shared other pictures of other wrestlers who seem to have had the same problem. One fan shared a very strange photo of the Miz action figure with a John Cena head as an add-on piece. To make things worse, this was inside a Hook box.

This is something a few scammers constantly do to make a quick buck.

Rob Van Dam believes dives and chops are overused in the current era of wrestling

The former WWE Champion recently spoke with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Bill Apter. During the interview, RVD mentioned that in the modern era of professional wrestling the talents tend to use a few moves a lot that at one point it becomes so overused that he himself has lost interest in doing them. The move in question is dives. Be it a top rope dive or a suicide dive, they are all overused in his opinion.

“I do agree with you. I don’t see how it means anything anymore,” RVD said. “It’s just like an obligated pop from the crowd now; that’s what it seems like to me. Everybody does it. Even I don’t wanna do it anymore. I faked it in my match on Saturday. I was gonna run out, I just stopped and gave a couple of these (does RVD pose) thumbs to the boys on the floor. That’s just not even going to make sense [for me to do it],” Rob Van Dam said.

The former ECW Champion also mentioned that if there was one move that is more used than diving maneuvers is the chop.

“… You’re right! The dive used to be like for the extra risky, daring, high-flying dudes that really went out of their way. And now you have to top it and you gotta do like a 450 to the floor and then that almost feels like a standard, as opposed to really standing out as a record-breaking event anymore – that’s kind of what it [has] evolved to.”
