Rob Van Dam has shared his thoughts about the amount of talent that has been released from WWE last year. According to RVD, he never really felt comfortable in the company, even when he was world champion.
Mr. Monday Night had a very successful career in WWE, and he shared the ring with many renowned stars such as John Cena, Kane and The Rock.
He was also popular in Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he held the ECW World Television title and World Tag Team Championship. He was later awarded the brand's World Heavyweight Championship when ECW returned under the WWE umbrella.
During his recent appearance on René Duprée's Cafe De René podcast, Rob Van Dam stated that he was very humbled in WWE and never felt invulnerable to the corporate machine.

"For some reason, I was never like real comfortable in WWE, you know? People are like — every time someone gets fired now, which I mean it is, you know, pretty crazy how often they’ve been doing that but the world is always shocked, you know? Like, ‘Oh my God.’ I think, even when I was champion, I never felt untouchable. They humbled me so much by — you know, they give you plans. ‘We’re gonna do this. We’re gonna do this, sike. Sike.’ [It happened so much] to where it humbled me. I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m not fired? Oh, okay. That’s cool,’" said RVD. (H/T POST Wrestling)
