## Various feuds(1995-1996)

At November to Remember 1995, after Juventud Guerrera was injured, Konnan revealed his replacement to tag with him against The Eliminators: the debuting Rob Van Dam as they defeated them. The feud between Konnan and The Eliminators continued as RVD challenged them to a 3 on 3 match where the leader who lost would be fired. At December to Dismember, RVD attacked Konnan and made him lose the 3 on 3 match against The Eliminators and Mikey Whipwreck

RVD explained that he was a lone wolf and didn't owe any explanation to anyone, Shane Douglas called him out on it and feuded with him, at Hardcore Heaven 1996 RVD defeated Shane Douglas in a falls count anywhere match but got a concussion during it, he returned in february starting a random tag team with Terry Funk. They worked surprisingly well together as at A Matter of Respect, they defeated Taz and Sabu. Whipwreck starts saying that RVD has a secret but gets shut down by RVD himself, Terry demands to know the secret and Whipwreck reveals that ever since RVD was a child, he has looked up to Funk and the only reason RVD came to ECW was to become Funk's protege and the "lone wolf" moniker was just a gimmick. At Heatwave, Terry Funk and Rob Van Dam defeated Mikey Whipwreck and Spike Dudley to become ECW tag team champions, they held the championships for 137 days with 2 defenses vacating it by the end

## WWF Mole(1996-1997)

When ECW invaded WWF, President of WWF Jerry Lawler kept teasing he had a mole that was sent by WWF to ECW to destroy it, at ECW vs WWF RVD frog splashed owner of ECW Paul Heyman during his match against Lawler as he revealed himself as the mole, Terry Funk wanted an explanation but he was beat up as he vacated the tag belts. The following day, Jerry Lawler gave RVD an intercontinental championship shot as he defeated Brian Pillman with another WWF mole Mikey Whipwreck's help.

They shockingly showed up on an episode of Hardcore TV just for RVD to challenge Terry Funk in a career threatening match at Barely Legal and at the PPV he shockingly defeated Terry and quit ECW right after. In the same show, WWF champion Vader was legitimitely injured during his match against Meng so Vince Mcmahon dropped out of the deal he had with Paul Heyman, in kayfabe Vince fired Jerry Lawler and took over as the true president of WWF, Lawler blamed it all on RVD and Whipwreck and stopped managing them, RVD lost the IC title to Owen Hart 2 weeks later at Survivor Series in his last WWF match

RVD and Whipwreck returned to ECW with the entire crowd booing them and chanting "get the fuck out" Heyman wanted both of them to prove they wanted to be here, he put Whipwreck in a match against The Sandman and RVD against Shane Douglas and if either man lost, they'd be fired from ECW but at November to Remember Mikey and RVD won their respective matches. Since Bam Bam and Dudley Boyz were suspended due to Heyman thinking they were the intial moles, they returned wanting revenge and at December to Dismember Bam Bam and Dudleyz destroyed RVD and Whipwreck

Jerry Lynn started feuding with him because Taz lost the ECW Heaviweight Championship to a WWF guy Vader and that caused him to go mental and destroy Lynn's group Blue World Order, since he couldn't defeat Taz and Vader was unreachable because he was in WWF, Lynn wanted to punish anything WWF related so he targeted RVD. RVD became cocky again and decided to put his ECW career on the line as he was sure he could defeat someone like Lynn, at Cyberslam they had a 5 star match where Lynn shockingly ended RVD's career at just 26 years old, RVD wanted to shake hands with him to get the support of the crowd one last time but Lynn refused

## Tag team with Jerry Lynn(1997-1998)

At December to Dismember, in Jerry Lynn's last chance at Taz's ECW TV Championship, RVD shockingly showed up and 5 star frog splashed Taz to give Lynn the win, Lynn shook hands with RVD as the 2 started an alliance.

In january, they interrupted a promo by The OGs saying people are tired of the same old shit with people like The OGs and it’s time for a new breed, Taz beat them up but The OG’s saved Lynn and RVD even after their comments. At Hardcore TV 161, they shockingly beat up Jerry Lynn and Rob Van Dam and joined up with Taz as they’ve been on ECW forever and they don’t wanna see a new breed of wrestlers take over what is “theirs”. At Fuck Mania 4 RVD and Lynn defeated Sabu and Taz with RVD getting the pin so he would get a title shot, at Extreme Countdown Paul Heyman attacked RVD with chairshots to ensure he wouldn't defeat Raven to become ECW Heaviweight champion.

They started going for the tag belts and in the last ever ECW show they defeated Rising Speed, Sandman and Sabu and Dudley Boyz in a 4 way ladder match to become the final ECW tag team champions

## Embodiement of Extreme(1998-1999)

At WCW's Fall Brawl 1998, Paul Heyman introduced the Extreme Championship and held a 10 men first blood elimination match to determine the inaugural champion, its participants were Chris Kanyon, The Barbarian, Perry Saturn, Jushin Liger, The Great Muta, Bam Bam Bigelow, Ernest Miller, Johnny Grunge, Rocco Rock and Juventud Guerrera but before the match started Heyman thought Ernest wasn't extreme enough for the match so he replaced him with the "Embodiement of Extreme" the debuting Rob Van Dam, RVD had one of his best showings of his career and became the first ever extreme champion lastly eliminating Bam Bam

NWO Wolfpac offered a spot for RVD in the group, Heyman thought about it and decided to accept, RVD continued having really extreme matches and innovative spots never before seen on WCW as he defended against people like Bam Bam and Johnny Grunge. At World War 3 1998-NWO Civil War, Meng, Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, Sting and Rob Van Dam defeated Hollywood Hogan, Randy Savage, Konnan, The Great Muta and The Giant(NWO Hollywood) and Kevin Nash, HHH, Bret Hart, Vampiro and Scott Steiner(NWO Chaos) in a War Games match to become the sole NWO standing and they got all the title matches at Starrcade. Since RVD was Extreme Champion, he decided to choose Meng as his challenger, Meng says he created extreme and is the embodiement of extreme. At Starrcade 1998, Meng defeated RVD to win the title in a falls count anywhere match

Due to this, Heyman announced RVD had left Wolfpac as he demanded a rematch but it ended in a DQ after Kevin Nash kicked RVD on his back. In the april 26th episode of Nitro, The Hacker revealed footage of november 20th 1995 where Paul Heyman signed RVD to ECW knowing he was a WWF mole but the deal was that RVD would be a double agent and would double cross WWF when the time was right, RVD was pissed that this came out to the public so he defeated The Hacker in a match at Slamboree, they continued their feud and at Bash at the Beach Paul Heyman turned on RVD as The Hacker defeated him becoming a Paul Heyman Guy
