MWC is god-tier

Beating Cena at One Night Stand for the title

It's either that or some ECW match I'm unaware of.

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Most likely something in TNA, he's been unstoppable over there. Jakyl would know.

I think he pinned Sting in like 10 seconds in his first match.

Win/loss record RVD's been really good in TNA

But as far as looking strong in individual matches? Not so much. Dude hasn't really been tested in big matches there-- figures, TNA doesn't know how to use a big name, right? That 10 second victory over Sting was played off as Sting getting surprised rather than squashed, and then Sting proceeded to beat him senseless with a bat for 5 minutes. If anything Sting looked stronger there.

ah

well there's gotta be a match he won clean at least

he was arguably the "favorite" in his match with cena given the environment and still needed outside interference from edge to win

just looking at the BFG2010 wiki, he beat abyss in a monster's ball match. that had to have been pretty impressive.

but yeah, it was probably something during his television title run in ECW. he was a god there

Obviously RVS vs Jerry Lynn from Hardcore Heaven 2000. (Or any of the matches they had in ECW, which were all 5 star)

Not the point of this.

My first thought was vs. Cena at ONS, but I never saw ECW.

Definitely WWE ONS vs. Cena.

Honorable mention to his Flag match vs. Dreamer at November to Remember. He no sold one hell of an ass kicking to get the thing to go no contest.

edwardsdv and swordz9 are basically the comedy heel tag team of this topic, why would people be taking them seriously?

I dont know if you can count ONS vs Cena as his strongest as he needed Edge to win the match. Unless you are accounting for the crowd being ape**** for him increaseing his 'power level' then yeah ONS hands down

Imagine if Jesus knew kung fu. That's what everyone is dealing with

Considering van dam was a career midcarder, even in ECW, it is one hell of an accomplishment that he beat Cena at all.

I still think he looked really strong against Cena even if Edge helped. I don't really think that invalidates the thing.

As far as his strongest match in TNA, my gut answer is when he successfully defended his title in a Fatal Four-Way against Jeff Hardy, Mr. Anderson, and newly heel-turned Abyss (and for people like him and Kane, they're at their kayfabe strongest right when they turn heel).

I don't remember the match TOO well but he was booked so strongly during that timeframe that I don't think any shenanigans occurred that led to his victory.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

He also beat Sting cleanly at Slammiversary VIII that year during the same title reign, and it wasn't played off as a fluke like the 10-second match was.
