Reaction To Rob Van Dam Joining TNA Not Entirely Positive
INSIGHT:
After months of intense negotiations, Rob Van Dam finally agreed to terms with TNA last week.
Though terms of Van Dam's contract have not been disclosed, he has made it clear he's not interested in working a full-time schedule. There is said to be much grumbling among longtime wrestlers as they perceive established stars such as Van Dam being paid big bucks without working house show dates. Furthermore, more than one wrestler noted that RVD took an unnecessary shot during a recent interview when he said he couldn't understand why people want to see him go from beating superstars such as Steve Austin and The Rock in WWE to wrestling the likes of Christopher Daniels in TNA.

Van Dam to TNA heating up?
