#2 Rob Van Dam talks about his time in WWE

Former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam told René Duprée that he never truly felt comfortable during his time with the company.

Speaking on Dupree's podcast, RVD said that he never got the feeling that he was untouchable.

He said that the company used to 'humble' him a lot and change plans related to him too many times.

''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.

The Hall of Famer had a spectacular run in the company and even held the ECW Championship during his tenure. RVD's last appearance for the company was for the 2021 Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

#1 Booker T wants Big Cass to return to WWE

Speaking on his podcast, Hall of Famer Booker T said he would love to see Big Cass back in Vince McMahon's company. Cass is currently working for IMPACT Wrestling under the ring name W.Morrissey.

He was part of the company from 2011 to 2018 when he was released due to behavioral issues.

Booker T believes that Morrissey could be a major asset to the company and would like to see him return in 2022:

"I talked about it, as far as 2022, it's going to be about the big guy, the heavyweights. No flip zone, is pretty much what is going to be in WWE. I would love to see someone like Morrissey make his way back. I was always a fan of Big Cass," said Booker T.

He further added how happy he is for Big Cass to have bounced back and hopefully he will return to the 'big time' soon.
