Rob Van Dam enjoyed some of his bouts in his last run with the WWE, but he said he's in "no hurry" to return due to the fact that he felt he wasn't utilized properly in his most recent stint.
RVD spoke with the WNS Podcast and said he isn't in much of a rush to return to the company because of how he was used during his last run.
"I had some good matches because all the wrestlers up there are really good and I had some matches that I enjoyed with Seth [Rollins] and Cesaro," RVD told the podcast per Wrestlingheadlines.com. "But, overall, it was nothing like the run the year before. 2013, I came back after many years off WWE television. They promoted it strong. Like maybe stronger than anybody's return before with the video packages of RVD coming back. When I came back, I delivered. Money in the Bank match in Philadelphia, that was awesome. That whole run I had a good time in 2013. In 2014, it was like they had nothing for me. No big intros, the writers seemed to not notice I was there. Like my music hit the day after WrestleMania and I kinda just walked out like I had always been there. It was good but I don't think there was a lot of utilization put on RVD. That's really the big reason I'm not in a hurry to go back."
RVD also admitted that he doesn't keep up with the company now that he's not on tour with it as he doesn't watch RAW or SmackDown regularly.
"I actually don't. Even when I'm on it unless I'm there watching in catering while the show's going on live otherwise I don't keep up with it," RVD said. "I certainly get a lot of feedback from fans because they're everywhere. And everybody wants to tell me whether they're happy or disappointed in what the wrestling product is. But you know it's an art form. And the fans, it's their job to receive that art expression and that's the way it goes. The fans don't dictate...I think a lot of the judgment is okay for conversation when they're amongst themselves. But, as a wrestler, I think that when the fans really think that they know what would be better if they were in [Vince McMahon's] position. They think they could run a global billion dollar company then I tend to think fan talks would probably be more enjoyed among themselves."
The one-time WWE Champion and six-time Intercontinental Champion has also kept busy outside of the squared circle as he has some writing ventures going on.
"There's a lot in the writing world," he said. "It's very important to me I get my autobiography out before I die and someone else writes it and screws up my life. But I have other writing projects I'm still working on but in the future I see myself using my brain more and my body less."
RVD's latest run with the WWE ended this past August and though he is a part-time performer, he could return to the squared circle at anytime.
