Robert Alexander Szatkowski (born December 18, 1970) is an American professional wrestler better known by his ring name Rob Van Dam (frequently abbreviated to RVD).

He is currently appearing for All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

He is known for his tenures in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

1987

Szatkowski made his first appearance on WWF television in 1987 in a skit with "The Million Dollar Man" Dibiase">Ted Dibiase.

At the time, Dibiase was selecting plants from the audience and offering to pay them to perform degrading acts and offered the 16-year-old Szatkowski $100 to enter the ring and kiss his foot, which he did.

This early appearance was later included as a bonus feature on WWE's Before They Were Superstars DVD and on WWE's Rob Van Dam: One of a Kind DVD.

He was also in attendance at WrestleMania III as stated on The Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology DVD.
