Rob Van Dam recalls meeting Jack Perry when he was a kid.
Van Dam recently made his in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling, as he faced off against Jack Perry on the August 9 edition of AEW Dynamite.
Although Van Dam lost the match, many fans have praised his performance in the bout, noting that he doesn't even look close to his age in the ring.
In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Van Dam recalled meeting Perry back in 2001 or 2002 when he was a child before joking that he should have kicked him in the head back then.
“I met him when he was a little kid one time when we were at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, probably 2001, maybe 2002 when I was with WWE. I remember meeting his dad because he was a big star, 90210 was one of the top shows. Luke had Jack with him and he was just a little kid, that was a long time ago. I probably should’ve kicked him in the head back then, I didn’t think about it.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Van Dam revealed that his match with Perry had been planned for a while. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
