6 Former ECW Stars: Where are they now?

#1 Former ECW Star Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam made his way to ECW in 1996. His five-year-long stint was better than most of the stars in the company. RVD was ECW's poster boy for the latter half of the 90s, he got the main event spot at almost every show and pay-per-view. While RVD had a monumental career with ECW, his career with the company came to an end after it went bankrupt. As a result, RVD went ahead and signed with WWE.

He made his debut through the invasion storyline. After it ended, he embarked on his singles run and became a very prominent star. Due to a rigorous schedule, RVD got burned out and decided to take some time away from WWE in 2007.

A few months later, RVD made his in-ring return through the indies and then subsequently signed a deal with TNA. Since then, the 51-year-old has spent the better part of the last decade with TNA while also briefly working for WWE.

However, RVD isn't currently signed to any promotion. In fact, RVD hasn't stepped his foot inside the squared circle for over a year and it seems like it'll be like that for some time as RVD is focused on other things.

Van Dam has long believed in the benefits of using cannabis. He has founded a brand that specializes in CBD and cannabis paraphernalia called RVDCBD. He's also the chairman of United American Petroleum Corp, which recently merged with RVD's cannabis brand. Apart from this, the former ECW star is planning his future with the love of his life, Katie Forbes, whom he married last year in a private ceremony.
