A couple of new DVD’s are in the pipeline from World Wrestling Entertainment ("The History Of The World Heavyweight Championship" & "Jeff Hardy: My Life, My Rules") with some RVD’s best matches from years past being put on these upcoming DVD’s. Rob was asked if the industry can get back to when there was five-star matches all the time & if there can be a rebirth of sorts. "I would hope so, but I would understand if it went the other way too, because I had enough so I would understand when other people have had enough. I don’t watch wrestling in fact I haven’t watched it since 2001, so when I was in the WWE, I would record the show & fast-forward through it to my to critique it. It became about business to me, and I didn’t want to watch other people work. I see what they are doing, and I’m not impressed with al ot of what I see on TV. I see people going through movements, but they have no sense of art & pro wrestling is an art." He continued by adding: "Can we get the wrestling business fun with Hulk Hogan in TNA? I don’t know but here’s one thing, part of why it’s not interesting to watch anymore is because it’s so routine & mundane. Every match from the beginning to the end, have to be ‘superstar vs. superstar.’ They have to be treated like main events, they all have to go six or seven minutes, they have to back & forth all the time, and someone catches a fall. What happened to the jobber matches? Big John Studd would have a squash match with two or three guys, and then when he faced like Hulk Hogan, it meant something. But now every match, we have to see the babyface cry & sell, and the heel do his stuff, and the babyface make his big comeback. Every match? I don’t enjoy that."
