------Intro------

Rob Van Dam made his debut on WWE television on July 9, 2001 as part of the
invasion of WWE by ECW and WCW.  He immediately won the WWE Hardcore title
by defeating Jeff Hardy at the Invasion pay-per-view event a few weeks later.
At Wrestlemania X8, Rob Van Dam defeated William Regal to win the
Intercontinental title for the first time.  Rob Van Dam also was the one who
retired the Hardcore and European titles by defeating Tommy Dreamer and
Jeff Hardy, respectively.  In late March, Rob Van Dam won the World Tag Team
titles with Kane by defeating Chief Morley and Lance Storm.  Rob Van Dam
currently wrestles on Raw and is perhaps the most popular wrestler on that
show.
