The tie-dye, the glassy eyes, the rambling promos, anyone growing up in the 70’s or 80’s knew exactly what Rob Van Dams gimmick was. But once R.V.D. became a “superstar” writers shied away from overt mention to his stoner street cred, and kept his speaking to a minimum lest he give himself away. For years fans made due with some oblique references to his stoneresque obsessions, like giving Kane the Hungry Hungry Hippos board game for Christmas (get it? The hippos have the munchies, like Rob).

ECW’s debut to Sci-Fi has changed all that, and Rob Van Dam has returned in all his rambling, forgetful glory. From his fascination with John Cena’s trip wheel like belt decoration to Joey Styles blithely calling out “Nobody gets higher than Rob Van Dam” as R.V.D. leaps from the top turnbuckle, ECW is making sure that everybody knows the old school Rob is back.

Like any good stoner, R.V.D.’s got a list of quotes attributed to him that’ll either make you think he’s a genius, or make you wish you had some of what he’s smoking. Either way you’ll laugh you ass off. Read some of the better ones here.

R.V.D.’s said to own a comic shop. Make of that what you will. Let’s just say where I’m from, most comic shops were “green”.

And of course, there’s the website where you can get the news out of Rob’s very own “fingers”(?) and get workout tips.

Rock on R.V.D., rock on.
