Former WWE and ECW Champion Rob Van Dam recently addressed a myriad of topics and discussed the possibility of turning heel as he prepares for a seven-man Ladder Match at Money in the Bank Sunday night at the TD Garden in Boston.

Van Dam spoke with Ring Rust Radio recently and discussed the possibility of changing his character and becoming a bad guy for the first time in 18 years.

"I don't know," he said about a potential turn. "I actually started as a bad guy in the original ECW, back in '96, because I was wrestling Sabu, who all the fans loved and treated like a god. With the thumbs pointing at myself, that was done in an arrogant manner to draw heat from the crowd and they seemed to love it, they seemed to love my moves."

Van Dam also spoke about the possibility of reuniting with former ECW promoter Paul Heyman, who currently manages heel wrestlers Cesaro and Brock Lesnar.

"Possibly, you know, there's a lot of factors to consider," he said. "Of course, whenever I'm working with him to any degree, I have to consider the possibility that some writers may be thinking of that idea just like you are. I would be open to considering anything, but I really do enjoy being a fan favorite, someone that gets the positive energy from the fans and all the love from those who are wrestling fans."

Van Dam also was asked whether or not he takes pride in working with some of the up-and-coming stars in the company especially since a lot of them will be in the Ladder Match against him for a contract good for a title shot Sunday at Money in the Bank.

Van Dam will battle Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Bad News Barrett in the match come Sunday and he said he'll give advice to young guys where its warranted.

"Yes and no," he said about being proud to help young guys out. "I place no focus on that. If somebody is willing to take some advice, then I have some, and that's just life in general. A lot of people don't want to hear anything. These guys, and everybody at WWE right now, is so good that the standard of the pro wrestler compared to maybe 10 years ago: night and day difference. I came back last year and I was so impressed."

Van Dam also discussed who he would like to face if given the chance and what he'd like to accomplish.

"Hulk Hogan. Bring Hulk Hogan back, I want to work with him," Van Dam said. "I don't really worry about those things. When people ask me about guys I don't say yes or no, but I go where the money is. Any chance I have to be a main event at a pay-per-view, like main eventing WrestleMania, is that important to me? At this point, it's something that would be really nice."

Van Dam will be a huge part of Money in the Bank this Sunday night live from the TD Garden in Boston.
