Rob Van Dam Reflects on WWE Hall of Fame Induction, Says Molly Holly Was Brokenhearted About the Time Constraints

Speaking to TMZ’s Inside the Ring, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam spoke about the disappointment of his WWE Hall of Fame induction as part of the 2021 class happening in an empty house due to COVID-19 restrictions. He also spoke about being cut off for their speeches, and their times being shortened. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Rob Van Dam on his WWE Hall of Fame induction taking place in an empty house: “I go to it every year forever and ever. And then, when it’s my turn, it’s not only to an empty house, but also, after listening to way too long speeches that were given way too long, now all of a sudden, they ask us to do 3-5 minutes, which I didn’t, I went way over.”

On the speeches being shortened: “Molly Holly, she was really excited about this. She had someone help her with this big, long speech, and everyone she was going to thank, and she was brokenhearted [when she learned of the time constraints]. And she had to follow me, and I went way over, so I don’t know if that was a factor in her disappointment. It’s still of course an honor. It means a lot to be in the elite, and be remembered for that reason.”
