RVD has already taken it above, and beyond almost anything you can think of, any major move you can think that has happened in the WWE, RVD has probably done in the past, and most of them onto concrete, stretchers, or other extremely unforgiving surfaces. The WWE is the only thing holding him back. Remember Juvi in WCW? He had a tryout for the WWE. The WWE tells him, "Slow down your wrestling and only do one or two highspots, because our fans can't catch up and don't like too many high spots." Juvi said screw them, and pulled out everything he had, high spots, luche libre, everything. Never offered a contract afterwards because he went against the WWE management. I strongly doubt he will ever get a contract in the WWE because of that instance. You know Tommy Dreamer right? Dreamer has pulled at least as many high spots as RVD. Ever seen him do anything big in the WWE?

i know the wrestlers don't have much say on the storylines but from all the "behind the scenes" stories i have ever seen or heard it was when wrestlers either broke out of character, did something not planned, improvised, etc., etc. that the best most memorable moments in wrestling happened.

For a WWE fan, maybe. If you watched ECW, you remembered the matches, not the improv political bullshit around it. I remember the first Van Terminator, I remember Rhino and the Sandman going at it, I remember RVD and Sabu, and RVD against Sabu. THAT was entertainment.

IMHO, i seriously think WWE should be more improvised and the wrestlers should have alot more control over their characters/ personas...

What? Are you insane? Vince give up creative power, and put it squarely out of his control? I can list a whole bunch of jack-ass sayings like "Satan will build a snowman before that happens" but I'll just answer you straight. That will never, EVER, happen with Vince alive and in charge. And that is without even bringing up all the logistical problems. Why would someone go for the European title if they can go on their own for the world title?

It was more fun watching Steve Corino. It became more of a joke than anything. "He cut himself open already? It's not even 3 minutes into the match!"
