AJ Jones Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nope. He used to wrestle as Robbie V in WCW, but has always used the name Rob Van Dam due to his likeness to JCVD.. His real name is....... Robert Alexander Szatkowski Bio: Rob Van Dam made his first appearance in a wrestling ring as a teenager, when he was called up to the ring by Ted DiBiase to kiss his feet for $100 USD. Van Dam debuted in 1990 after being trained by The Sheik, wrestling his first match against Dango Nguyen in Toledo, Ohio. He went on to wrestle in many independent promotions across Michigan. He signed with World Championship Wrestling in late 1992 and was dubbed Robbie V upon his arrival. His WCW run was uneventful and largely unnoticed. He also wrestled in several independent promotions across America, and in All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he challenged for the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship on several occasions.

AJ Jones Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 just curious cos they look very much alike That is why he went with the slightly different spelt surname. He traded on it as he is also a trained martial artist. JC Van Damme is from Belgium and RVD has Eastern European heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
