RVD Confirms Reason Behind Not Competing in GCW

RVD has wrestled all over the world, but one place he hasn’t competed in yet is GCW, which has been gaining popularity over the past few years. The WWE Hall of Famer has now revealed why he has yet to compete in the promotion.

While speaking on his 1 Of A Kind with RVD podcast, RVD explained that GCW had reached out to him, but they couldn’t agree on his fee, which was beyond their budget. RVD has heard good things about GCW, with many comparing it to ECW. However, his higher fee shows his selective approach, as he no longer wrestles full-time.

“Yes, they have reached out. We weren’t able to reach a business agreement, I was out of their budget. Sabu had told me about them, saying that he thought it was a really cool company to work for. He compared it to ECW and said it was cool like that. That happened, and then they did reach out. They didn’t have the RVD fee, which is not a big surprise because I’m not priced to be out there on the road full-time.”

The Whole F’n Show most recently made an appearance during the November 6 episode of NXT at the legendary 2300 Arena, a venue famously associated with ECW. During the show, RVD helped Je’Von Evans defeat Wes Lee in a match and fans have been waiting for RVD’s next appearance ever since.

GCW is currently the talk of the town as all sorts of wrestlers have made appearances during their recent events, including the likes of JBL, AEW star Ricky Starks and more. Therefore, fans are hoping to see RVD compete at a GCW event somewhere down the line, as anything is possible in the world of professional wrestling.
