Rob Van Dam is known to be very outspoken when it comes to his beliefs, especially regarding the modern-day professional wrestling world. In fact, he recently addressed Drew McIntyres Marks in the locker room comments and ended up agreeing with The Scottish Warrior.
While speaking on his 1 of a Kind podcast, RVD shared his thoughts on Drew McIntyres comments about marks in the dressing room. He agreed with McIntyre but said this isnt something new. Looking back on his own career, RVD explained that the locker room used to be very different. Wrestlers had strict rules, like not talking unless spoken to or introducing themselves properly. They were expected to act like professionals, not fans.
Over time, RVD noticed things changing. Wrestlers started taking pictures together backstage, and the old rules became more relaxed. While he goes along with these changes now, like taking photos when asked, he believes this shift started long before McIntyres time.
RVD said it began when wrestlers started breaking kayfabe and talking openly about their match plans. He thinks this marks in the dressing room culture has been around for a long time, not just in the last 10 or 20 years.
This stems from Drew McIntyres comments during an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he called out internet opinions as well as professional wrestlers for never checking up on him, among other things.
The way professional wrestling works is changing, leading to talks about its traditions, growth, and professionalism. RVD is clearly aware of just how things continue to change and he has more or less embraced it instead of resisting it and fans feel thats for the best.
