Section 4 - Entrance Theme Lyrics:
===========================================================

Song: "One of a Kind" by Breaking Point

I've got that feeling deep inside
Well what it is I don't know
My vengeance starts to change
My mind gets filled with rage
I raise my fists up to the sky

Whatdaya see?

The fear I see when I look in your eyes
Makes you believe I'm one of a kind (one of a kind)
The fear I leave in the back of your mind
Makes you believe I'm
One of a kind

Hey, Hey, Hey, One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey, One of a Kind

And now I feel like I'm alive
Don't know just how I got so low
These voices in my mind
Tell me it's killing time
It is a thrill I can't describe

Whatdaya see?

The fear I see when I look in your eyes
Makes you believe I'm one of a kind (one of a kind)
The fear I leave in the back of your mind
Makes you believe I'm
One of a kind

Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind

The fear I see when I look in your eyes
Makes you believe, makes you believe
The fear that I see in the back of your mind
Makes you believe, makes you believe

The fear I see when I look in your eyes
Makes you believe I'm one of a kind (one of a kind)
The fear I leave in the back of your mind
Makes you believe, makes you believe

The fear I see when I look in your eyes
Makes you believe I'm one of a kind (one of a kind)
The fear I leave in the back of your mind
Makes you believe, makes you believe

Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind
Hey, Hey, Hey One of a Kind

GameFAQs - for hopefully posting this FAQ for millions of viewers to read.

RobVanDam.com - For providing the biographical information and title history of
Rob Van Dam.

Soundtrack Lyrics - For providing the lyrics to RVD's theme song.

Rob Van Dam - for being one of hell of a pro wrestler and for being one of my
all-time favorites to watch every week on Smackdown, thus providing me with the
reason to do his FAQ first. If only WWE would give him the WWE Championship,
then it'd be interesting to see how well he defends it.

THQ - For making one of the best wrestling games to date, and I'm eagerly
anticipating WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW. However, I'm disappointed that they left
out the Dudleys, the current WWE Tag Team Champions, and the current WWE
Champion from Day of Reckoning. I hope one day they produce a wrestling game
with every last wrestler on the WWE roster.

Z. Hinz - for providing me with the dates of each title reign (Source:
