TNA News Rob Van Dam comments on meeting Vince Russo and Dixie Carter at the TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view By Jason Powell Oct 20, 2009 - 10:15 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Rob Van Dam appeared on the Between The Ropes radio show with Brian Fritz on Tuesday and commented on meeting Vince Russo. "I think that was the first I've met him," Van Dam said. "I've talked to him on the phone a few times. I stood there and talked with him for a few minutes the other day. I've only known him by reputation before, which was a little choppy." Van Dam also recapped his brief encounter with Dixie Carter. "It was real short," Van Dam said. I introduced myself to her. She said, 'Yeah, we've talked on the phone.' And then it was it was real awkward like she wanted to talk, but there wasn't anything to say."

Powell's POV: Van Dam sounded very skeptical of Russo's booking, but he was also diplomatic by admitting out that most of his knowledge was based on secondhand information. He shared a fun story about how his meeting with Dixie reminded him of when Vince McMahon used to make small talk with him at WWE events. A short, but newsworthy interview that's worth taking the time to listen to in full. By the way, Rob disputed a Dot Net reader's report that claimed he did the thumb routine when a group of fans spotted him. For the record, this was something a reader who attended the show claimed to witness. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
