I love to hear grown men express empathy unapologetically. HBK like all wrestlers put his body through a lot to give us good show for years, I can understand RVD's perspective on being more empathetic about it.

it's probably the right move, especially the process he took (talking with HBK about it before this interview). He asked Shawn if it bothered him, reflected on his own past, and then even with Shawn being cool with it still decided he didn't want to do it anymore.
A feud in 1997 with them would have gave us such amazing matches!

Shawn was def a bit of a diva and prick behind the scenes so I wasn't surprised a lot of guys came out and said so after the fact. But tbf to Shawn he's also tried to be a better man since those years so there really isn't as much reason to continue hating on him. Hell if Bret Hart of all people can be cool with him everyone probably should.

True story. At work the cook comes in a mess. There was snow and ice on the ground and he had a tough time. He fell multiple times and it was like a comedy skit lol. I had to make the smart ass comment" And they call me a klutz. No more than 2 seconds after I said that, I'm bending over scooping ice out of the ice machine, stand up straight and slammed my head on the corner of a shelf, causing myself to bleed in the process. The cook said it looked like I had a vagina on my head, it was a gash. I was ok but lessoned learned. Keep your mouth shut lol.

Tons of respect for Rob not being afraid to go after Shawn and tons more for growing past it.
Glad RVD matured and is cool with HBK.
Two old men behaving like grown men. Love both of them. HBK never gets credit and would more often than not be criticized, good on him for not reacting and RVD realizing and being empathetic. Class act. Win-Win for fans.

The glasses go hard, Rob
I had a concussion from Kickboxing that gave me double vision... Literally did nothing about it and it just went away after a week. Looking back it was ridiculous not to get medical attention. 😬
RVD is a naturally entertaining person. Loved him in my childhood... Pure talent! ❤
Kane booted his eye out of place
To see Shawn still perform as well as he did, even with that injury, only makes me respect the guy's talents a lot more.
I'm still searching for that saying "before you die, you will experience the pain of the person you mock"
As someone with a slight lazy eye. I appreciate RVD for not wanting to make fun of HBK's eye anymore.

Love the delivery in apology. The praise is for the reason that he (Rob) didn’t try to gaslight, or justify his reasons for why he did it in the first place. In my life, I call it “taking the L”-if I messed up, I messed up. Take my L chalk it up as lesson learned.
RVD seems like such a cool guy, great work as always Chris!
Introspection is one of the best things to experience as a human being. Cheers to Rob, but the HBK impression will always be funny (to me). 😅
Moving ears was the most impressive thing here.
As someone who’s had vision damage and woke up from a coma and couldn’t pronounce anything…even though my brain knew I was seeing a dog, a dinosaur, and a giraffe - it was one of the most frustrating and scary things ever, and definitely no laughing matter. I went through cognitive speech therapy for almost two weeks in ICU. RVD is such a good dude. One of my all time favorites 💯

Very mature take by RVD. That said, it is pretty wild how he can move his eyes around like that. The only other person I’ve seen with that much independent eye control is Bill Skarsgård, the actor who portrays Pennywise the Clown in IT.
Funny enough I only watched his YouShoot interview the other day and saw the impression
RVD has the eye-control of a chameleon. If his tongue suddenly shot out two feet from his mouth, I wouldn't be THAT surprised...
Rob is a nice man and no one should be remembered for making an impression of another person. Not should someone have to live with that impression and this is wrestling. They are supposed to get heat all the time with everyone and sometimes it can get personal or be taken personally. As a fan of wrestling i love it all.
Rob! Good on ya!
Being able to roll your eyes like that is perfectly normal. It's easy to do, but you'll need to record yourself doing it to prove it to yourself. Just cross your eyes the look to your lower left, the cross, the lower right. You'll do what RVD did.
“That’s not normal” 😂😂😂
Good combo with these two
Lots of respect for this.
Tomato tomatoe. Best impression i ever watched😂
I remember seeing rvd & taker in a tag match at a house show and rvd did a splash off the top of a cage it was very cool 😎 such a talented wrestler 👍💪
Am I the only one expecting RVD to just randomly say "it ain't got no gas in it"
RVD is the man
RESPECT
I’ll always be mad they never had a proper angle between RVD and HBK. 2 of the greatest of all time and literally my top 2 favorite wrestlers ever. In late 2002 Shawn was back in the groove, still young, and had his proper gear. Woulda been the PERFECT time to have them face off at a PPV. But instead Shawn fought HHH like 700 more times 😒
Love RVD, as a human being as well as a wrestler.
Besides Van Damme he also looks like Ron from Jersey Shore
RVD is the coolest dude in wrestling.
good dude!
First time i see CVV being awkward 😅
That's how respectful RVD is, I can't say if HBK would be offended or not with people doing impressions of him with twitchy eyes but I gotta say when you know where it comes from you can't think it stays respectful to do it indeed...
I can wiggle my ears too, lol
respect
I've never seen eyes move like that.
There's increasingly a general rule, for anti-bullying, of never making fun of anything about anyone that they can't change and didn't choose. By that rule, you can make fun of HBK for "losing his smile," or for having lost a bar fight and then successively inflated the odds he was supposedly up against in that fight. But his hairline, and especially the vision problem, would be off limits. I'm not saying that this is always the right rule. I don't think RVD, even though he was grouching about how Shawn had treated him backstage, was being particularly out-of-pocket with that impression, especially not in the sense that Ed Ferrara was, years ago, when he copied Jim Ross's squint (from Bell's Palsy) in a WCW caricature. But to whatever extent a man like Van Dam is trying to model thoughtful, kind behavior for the people who watch his content, calling himself out for breaking that rule here and apologizing to Shawn for it was a good and admirable thing.
Bravo.
Double jointed eyes?
WWE new that everyone wanted to see a 15 minute or more match with Shawn . It's because you make him look limited . Split Leg VS elbow drop .
Respect
Rvd has double jointed eyeballs
That's like asking Ed Ferarra to do the Oklahoma gimmick

FairPlay to RVD for not doing it, but that shit was funny.
HBK is acknowledged by Flair, Taker and everyone else who matters, as the GOAT. Good to see RVD et al. finally paying respect. Enough time has passed since the '90s to drop the old asinine grudges. Now someone just tell Bret Hart.

Nah, there's a difference between poking fun at people and almost having your damn head knocked clean off. They could shower me in apologies and they'd still get the finger lol.
I saw the impression years ago but every time it's brought up when Rob's name is mentioned it's a bit cringe. Shawn sacrificed everything for the business, including his eye. So I didn't think it was cool of Rob to continue to poke fun at that. Glad to see he matured and apologized about it
Kinda bugged me that Rob acted like Shawn’s eye just decided one day to fucking cross itself, like it wasn’t because of a legit injury in the ring. But very cool of him to apologize
Best impression in wrestling
I would have loved to have seen RVD in mma.

You're all wrestlers, you should all feel some kind of empathy for the constant pain you're enduring each match. Good looks for him to stop.
