RVD is definitely one of the most technically-gifted pro wrestlers to have ever competed in the pro wrestling world. The icon has competed in several promotions such as ECW, WCW, WWE, and IMPACT Wrestling during his career which has lasted over thirty years. That being said, it appears that RVD had to grab Sunny’s backside for a promo.

The WWE Hall Of Famer was certainly the biggest name in Paul Heyman’s ECW in the late 90s. He squared off against all sorts of top stars in the company and engaged in bizarre promos as well.

Chris Candido joined ECW in 1996 after a short stint in WWE. His long-time girlfriend Sunny started working with him after she was released by WWE in 1998.

While speaking during an episode of the 1 Of A Kind podcast, RVD recalled shooting a backstage segment with Candido and Sunny in ECW. In the promo, RVD had to grab Sunny’s backside and ended up grabbing it hard after a failed attempt.

“In ECW, there was one time that sticks out in my mind where we were doing a promo where I’m walking in the building and they’re walking out or vice versa and we’re passing each other carrying the little rolling bag or whatever and when they walked by me, they wanted me to grab Tammy’s ass. That was the deal. And Chris gets mad and then we have some words or whatever, ‘we’ll settle this in the ring tonight.’ You know, one of those things. And so like I just thought you know, I’ll work and the camera’s not gonna know whatever and we went by and I just lightly patted her on the ass.

And we did it and they were like ‘cut.’ Anyway, Tammy comes up but she says, ‘I couldn’t even feel it. I couldn’t even feel his hand on my ass. Look, like grab it like, you know, squeeze it.’ And I was thinking, ‘you know, she’s always want me to put over her advances and I never do and so this is a chance for, you know, I get it.’ But just like Sandman told me to lay it in the first time I ever gave him a kick, I wanted to try to make her regret it. I walked by them and I just ughh and I just squeezed it like as hard as I could, deep, hard, like ughhh, like really hard until they turn around and, ‘oh,’ she screamed, which was supposed to and then Chris went on with the promo and I never talked to her about it afterwards.”

RVD is clearly in excellent shape and is ready to make his in-ring return whenever he feels like it. RVD also had an interesting response to having one final pro wrestling run. We’ll have to wait and see when RVD will finally return to the squared circle.
