WWE Hall of Famer and ECW original Rob Van Dam (RVD) was the latest Star to be spotlighted on the WWE Icons docuseries, where RVD revealed which match he had in ECW that started the biggest turning point in his career. RVD spoke about his match with Bam Bam Bigelow, which marked the start of his two-year run as ECW World TV Champion, and the start of him becoming one of the top stars in wrestling.
RVD said, “Bam Bam Bigelow was the Television Champion. I wrestled him in Buffalo, New York. At the time, that was probably our best building with the biggest crowd. That match was very important to me.” “I loved wrestling with Bam Bam Bigelow. He was so strong. … The match was awesome, everything was just so good."
“At the end of the match, I rolled him up. Winning the ECW Television Championship was a very big moment for me. I don’t think that I realized how pivotal that was going to be for my career. What I probably didn’t realize was that all of a sudden I was a superstar. I held the TV Championship for two years, and it was very rewarding.”
