The man many referred to as RVD was exceptionally talented. A stockily-built dude with a ponytail and a surfer-like attitude, he would contort and flip his body so impressively well. The forceful momentum Van Dam accrued — whether from the top rope with a five-star frog splash or with a standing moonsault was simply special. When taking into his days both as a Hardcore participant and in ECW, it’s hard to envision a list without Van Dam on it.
