Rob Van Dam Details 'Awkward' Relationship With Vince McMahon

In a recent appearance at Inside the Ropes 'One of a Kind' live show, former WWE Superstar and ECW legend Rob Van Dam spoke about his awkward relationship with Vince McMahon. Van Dam admitted that while Vince went out of his way to speak to him, the pair simply didn't have much in common, explaining:

“The relationship was good and I felt like he tried really hard to be approachable, but I had a hard time of connecting with him on anything more than just the bottom level of ‘nice weather we are having today!’ He would stop and go out of his way TO [...] shake my hand and say ‘how are you doing Rob?’ and it would be really awkward as neither one of us had anything to say to each other. That’s what I remember a lot of it being. I knew he liked and respected me and part of it is because he was making that effort to make himself acceptable.

“I was always intimidated by the fact it was Vince McMahon but also I didn’t know what to bond with him on. Some of the other guys like Kurt Angle and others who had a real good relationship with him might have gone to his house or whatever, and I was nowhere near that, you know, but he is someone I have always liked and respected, and he was like a father figure to me."
