Last month, the wrestling world was in shock following the attack on Knokx Pro Wrestler Sycho Stu by Raja Jackson. WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam had commented on the attack. He seemed to have been defending Jackson’s actions. This did not sit well with the Internet Wrestling Community.
While speaking on TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast, Rob Van Dam reflected on his comments and mentioned that he does not need to respond to the ‘Internet Mark Community.’
“To answer your question about responding to the internet mark community, first off, they’re not real people… The real people say things to your face. You know, right? Bullies. Look for targets that are weaker physically, in person and on the internet, the bullies can reach anybody because they can’t reach them… That’s a problem for the Internet Mark community, you’re not allowed to have an opinion that’s different from theirs… They feel obligated to send all kinds of just toxic junk.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
RVD also shared that he doesn’t think Raja Jackson intended to commit murder but he did go too far with his attack.
“They’re in love with the words, people that are on this argument, that have taken so passionately and sensitively to it, to something that I totally don’t care as much as you do about it… I don’t really think that that Raja wanted to kill him, and I don’t care if I get heat for that, by the way, if I’m wrong, I don’t mind being wrong either… He definitely went too far. He should have known that could do some serious damage. I don’t think that his intention was to actually murder him. And I really don’t think most of the people that are even talking about this or thinking about this, think that his intent was to actually murder him,” Rob Van Dam said. [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
