By Abhilash Mendhe Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon (left); RVD (right) WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam recently pointed out a picture of the ring gear that the company wanted him to wear back in the day. Van Dam was one of the most exciting acts on WWE TV during the Ruthless Aggression Era. The former ECW star did incredibly well as a babyface on the main roster at the time. RVD was quite well known for his signature airbrushed singlet that usually had funky designs made on it. The Hall of Famer recently stated that his ring gear was one of the first things that WWE tried to change about him. In response to his tweet, a fan shared a picture of him wearing a black singlet, minus the airbrushes. The former WWE Champion replied to the tweet and confirmed that this was the gear that the company wanted him to wear. "This was one of the first things WWE tried to change about me," he wrote.

Not that you needed the cool gear to be over or stand out, but this isn’t one of a kind at all.@TherealRVD They didn’t get it smh. Not that you needed the cool gear to be over or stand out, but this isn’t one of a kind at all. Here's what Airbrush Artist Joe Holland had to say about creating RVD's unique gear: “He wanted me to do a silhouette of him, like doing his jump kick with his leg out. He liked it a lot and he came back and asked me for more. And he said ‘let’s do something different every single week. Let’s blow their minds!’. It worked. My favourite one is where he’s got black outfit and it’s for bloody bones. It was around Halloween time. There’s a big Yin-Yang on the back. His favourite was an outfit that looks like metal. That looks like rivets and metals. It was an experience. It worked out.” [H/T Essentially Sports] Rob Van Dam's last match for WWE came in 2014 when he defeated Seth Rollins on Main Event. Since then, the legendary wrestler has performed for various independent promotions and for IMPACT Wrestling. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2021.
