If you don’t think a joke is funny in retrospect just because you went through a similar situation then that means that you are an emotional person and you let emotions guide and control you. If you can’t remove yourself emotionally from a situation and have a laugh about it then you are really just a woman.

Rvd got his head ringed and he realized it ain’t nothing to laugh at. Your not mature enough to understand that something’s you just don’t joke about. If Shawn was in on the joke then it would’ve been fine but, clearly he was mocking him. What’s funny about mocking someone? You definitely change your view on something when you can relate to it, unless your just a terrible person who never wants to grow in life.

You are the one guided by emotions here.

@@SpongeBob5000_ I don’t change my mind. I don’t make fun of someone’s personal trauma to begin with. Don’t know about you but, I’m not that type of guy buddy. Anybody who doesn’t care about the way something they said makes someone feel is a piece of 💩 person. There’s nothing wrong with jokes but, it all depends on the topic. For example, making fun of someone’s bad haircut is nowhere near as bad as cracking jokes about somebody who got hurt or a cancer patient that literally can’t control their hair loss. If somebody’s relative lost their life and you had people cracking jokes about it, I bet it wouldn’t be so funny if one of their people passed away. There’s nothing funny about that to begin with anyways. Your the type of person that makes excuses for being a dick instead of realizing, “maybe if I don’t say that then I won’t rub people the wrong way ”. Not everybody likes to joke and play around about sensitive situations so, you should respect that and leave people alone. It’s really simple and I can’t believe some people don’t understand nor care. We live in a world where you need to watch what you say because, some people don’t take stuff lightly. People are losing their lives everyday over a simple joke. So tighten up your act and understand that even if something may be “funny” to you, there’s somebody else that probably had their whole day ruined because you wanna crack jokes.

RVD is genuinely a good dude. Introspection is a virtue that is so absent in society as a whole that it’s truly refreshing to see someone able to look back on what they’ve done and instead of conceptualizing or compartmentalizing it into a time & place can look at themselves and say, “You know what? It was wrong of me to do/think/say that” RVD has always been one of my all time favorites from his late 90’s runs in ECW against Sabu and Taz all the way to today in 2023

If only most people had this kind of integrity and compassion to admit they were wrong…man, would this world be a nicer place.

RVD did something that social media doesn’t allow people to do. Mature and look back at past action not to condemn but to reflect and be a better person.
Sometimes something is funny until you have a similar experience and understand what it’s like to be in that position. Rvd humbled himself and is now mature enough to see that he was wrong. Good for him, everyone should take notice!

It was a joke. If you don’t think a joke is funny in retrospect just because you went through a similar situation then that means that you are an emotional person and you let emotions guide and control you. If you can’t remove yourself emotionally from a situation and have a laugh about it then you are really just a woman.

@@SpongeBob5000_ bro what it’s always some bum coming in with that negative energy. Ain’t nothing funny about catching a boot to the head and having a lazy eye as a result. Rvd got his head ringed and he realized it ain’t nothing to laugh at. Your not mature enough to understand that something’s you just don’t joke about. If Shawn was in on the joke then it would’ve been fine but, clearly he was mocking him. What’s funny about mocking someone? You definitely change your view on something when you can relate to it, unless your just a terrible person who never wants to grow in life.

@@Treywave4146 Why is it off limits? Because the joke is at the expense of someone? Newsflash sweetheart, all humor and jokes come at the expense of a person or something that happened to them. It’s the nature of humor and banter. The one who is not mature enough is somebody like you who will change their mind about a joke in retrospect just because they went through and got emotional. You are the one guided by emotions here.

@@SpongeBob5000_ I don’t change my mind. I don’t make fun of someone’s personal trauma to begin with. Don’t know about you but, I’m not that type of guy buddy. Anybody who doesn’t care about the way something they said makes someone feel is a piece of 💩 person. There’s nothing wrong with jokes but, it all depends on the topic. For example, making fun of someone’s bad haircut is nowhere near as bad as cracking jokes about somebody who got hurt or a cancer patient that literally can’t control their hair loss. If somebody’s relative lost their life and you had people cracking jokes about it, I bet it wouldn’t be so funny if one of their people passed away. There’s nothing funny about that to begin with anyways. Your the type of person that makes excuses for being a dick instead of realizing, “maybe if I don’t say that then I won’t rub people the wrong way ”. Not everybody likes to joke and play around about sensitive situations so, you should respect that and leave people alone. It’s really simple and I can’t believe some people don’t understand nor care. We live in a world where you need to watch what you say because, some people don’t take stuff lightly. People are losing their lives everyday over a simple joke. So tighten up your act and understand that even if something may be “funny” to you, there’s somebody else that probably had their whole day ruined because you wanna crack jokes.
God make me this humble always ❤

These old school guys were one of a kind. Almost all the videos I watch from the 90s and early 00s wrestlers are like listening to words of wisdom. Maybe it was just the industry at the time but so many of them seem to have matured into quite well spoken and kind people.
RVD is genuinely a good dude. Introspection is a virtue that is so absent in society as a whole that it’s truly refreshing to see someone able to look back on what they’ve done and instead of conceptualizing or compartmentalizing it into a time & place can look at themselves and say, “You know what? It was wrong of me to do/think/say that” RVD has always been one of my all time favorites from his late 90’s runs in ECW against Sabu and Taz all the way to today in 2023
Very mature of both men
I loved that Pick A Hand interview, it's a classic. I also love how Rob is always such a cool dude at all times.
“If you don’t look back at yourself and cringe, then you haven’t matured at all” Rob Van Dam on his own podcast. He really is one of the coolest dudes for holding himself accountable and learning from things. Something a lot of people can’t do.
that's called growth
It takes a big man to own up to his mistakes. I wish more people would these days 👍
Two of my 5 favorite wrestlers ever. Very classy to be a man and admit when you are wrong. I remember the first time I ever watched an ECW PayPerView and seeing RVD for the first time…. I’m like…. This guy is the most entertaining wrestler in the world. Tough as nails, innovative, athletic…COOL. Cool unique outfits, cool persona, cool unique move set. Never the same match. I feel bad for those who only know WWE’s version of RVD. If that’s you, go watch RVD vs Jerry Lynn…… absolutely tremendous matches.
respect. Ive had a lazy eye my whole life and it sucks when people make fun of it or even just point it out.
The fact he doesn't want to call it a Shawn Michaels impression makes it funnier to me for some reason 😂
Love RVD...Been through the shit and still comes across as a person who learns from it all. Wish more people were like that.
He said, "I kinda got a taste of it and that shit sucks."
Yeah, never a good idea to make fun of someone for something they can't control.
Respect the hell out of that mindset... if mike tyson can be humble, compassionate/ understanding and just a great human now and has been for years, then most can
This is the kinda shit that makes me respect RVD.
RVD stepping up to the plate of maturity, well done my guy. he may not be the biggest fan of HBK but this is a big move to correct something he felt was the wrong thing to do.
Lol what a back-handed apology. 'Eye should only roast you for the person you are.'

A man isnt afraid to admit his faults.
That was really big of him to humble himself to apologize. Granted it came with an unwanted experience but never the less, I'm glad he'd grown.
Rob’s a good dude. Going through a karmic experience has really made him empathetic to Shawn’s experience.
Lmao was that a lowkey diss that RVD snuck in under the radar there at the end? 😂
It was pure GOLD.
I'm happy that Rob Van Dam is grown out of his Shawn Michaels-impression and learn to be a man (unlike Riddle).
RVD is a freaking awesome guy

As an older man now, I can honestly say that the things we make fun of in other people often have a way of happening to us. The Bible says you reap what you sow, and in my own experience, that's absolutely true. You can call it "karma" or whatever you like, but trust me when I say that it's better to hold your tongue than to make fun of or deride others.
"He didn't deserve for me to attack him like that, for any reason except for being the man that he is." THAT was lovely. "I shouldn't have made fun of him in that way, even though he's a rat-bastard."

A lot of respect for RVD here, the make of a man is determined by the standards they set upon themselves. We all goof up sometimes, what's important is that we make the adjustments when necessary
Shawn knows what he is/did and the heat he will get for it. But RVD is solid dude for apologizing.
RVD is a genuine human being. His whole attitude is awesome.
When is this channel going to interview Shawn Michaels
I like RVD and HBK two of my all time favorites.
RVD is such a nice, honest dude The bit was incredibly funny and I think it’s kinda nice to have something to joke about HBK with. I mean, he’s got it all already. Even he makes jokes about the eye sometimes, like in WWE 2K22’s MyRise where he says “well it’s hard for me to see eye to eye with anyone these days.” It’s not like he was being a completely distasteful asshole like Wayne Farris in his shoot interviews.
said like a true gentleman
I'll translate this for you guys.. I got a wwe hall of fame ring now, and i have to suck up to management and especially friends of management to ensure i stay in the hall of fame, despite the fact that Shawn Michaels, was indeed an insufferable POS to work with in the business 20 years ago. Hope that clears everything up.
RVD is a good 👍 guy man. Lol 😂! The guy has that good persona vibe. Even on Camera 🎥. Especially when Austin was a heel.
I met RVD when I was 15 he looked huge compared to me and he was such a cool dude seemed very genuine person I hope life is treating him well
Sometimes we say things we regret later. RVD admits that and gives a valid reason. He seems to be on good terms with Shawn after all. Sounds like there was no beef between them to begin with.
Good for RVD for maturing and being the bigger man, whether compared to Shawn or his former self. But it happened and it’s still hilarious.
I like that RVD stands up for what he did, gives the apologies and doesn't make excuses. This man has backbone. Respect.
Rvd is probably one of the most genuine people in wrestling. Even as an adult, there's still room for maturing and learning to be better.
That eye thing actually happened to shawn in a match he was not always loke this.. and didn't even blame wrestler or vince for that accident..
Nowadays, people would call RVD's newfound maturity "woke" like that's a bad thing. 🤦🏾♂️
Well he is a gentleman and realised he was being a d for making fun of the real goat of wrestling
RVD you got the Kung Fu skill and looks hope to see you framing a movie
Shawn always got one eye on the streets and one eye on the championship.
Shawn used to do worse so of course he understands. It's good to see people mature and become better.
RVD and HBK sound very similar, RVD's just has a little more gruff.
RVD thoughtful as f and takes a big man to reflect and say sorry. I personally don't think it was a big deal unless he did it as a diss (I don't think he did) and Shawn never seemed to indicate sensitivity about it, but nonetheless. Top guy.
Bro am I the only one who knew the actor but always assumed they just got him to do the eye thing in every movie as a running joke I had no idea I’m flabbergasted at the amount of dastardly bamboozling that’s be cast upon me
Was still ridiculously spot on
It's good of him to own up to the regrettable impression making fun of what was effectively a disability. Worth noting that he didn't take the rest of the stuff he said about HBK, but being respectful doesn't mean you have to like the person.
A society can't survive without mercy.
Until You Go Threw The Same Situation u won’t know unfortunately
I love rob so much. He's such a good dude
That's maturity ❤
There's still a back handed insult in there at the end :D He still thinks HBK is a dickhead, he just won't mock the eye.
This is what marijuana does, the wisdom the introspection the insight of this man to extend his energy enough to feel empathy for another even when they don’t feel the burden of hurt themselves. I’ve always believed weed unlocks the answers already inside u bc look at ppl like Snoop, RVD, Willie Nelson, Wiz, Curren$y. The most positive peaceful and level headed ppl on this planet are pot heads🤷🏽♂️
Man, I’ve always liked RVD. Even in the ECW glory days, I rooted for him.
Maybe the eye thing was a bit of a dick move. That being said, it, in combination with a spot-on voice impression, was a one-to-one perfect impression of HBK.
Wow Rob you were very articulate, and charming, and funny in this interview.
From being a geniunely dishonest character in RVDs eyes to still accepting his apology year later.
Awesome dude.
In every clip or story I hear about him, RVD always comes across as a genuine down to earth dude.
Shawn says it's no problem BUT YOUR RINGTONE IS HES GOT DOUBLE VISION SORRY😂😂😂LOVE N RESPECT...
Thats very big of him! 👍🏻 I’ve heard Shawn make fun of himself for it as well
Ok asking again...Can anyone tell me the match of him Shawn vs Undertaker where it happened cause I haven't got to see it and cant find which it is?
Would've been funny if he said "but with that being said" and went Into the impression again here after that speech 😂😂
He actually sounds like Shawn Michaels while not wanting to imitate him.
I love to see people growing and improving!
Me after smoking and gaining clarity:
Although it was more like making fun of him, it was actually pretty accurate lol
I wonder if The Rock ever apologized to Perry Saturn for making fun of his eyes…
