Rob Van Damn - known to ECW and WWE fans simply as RVD - actually turned up on The X-Files during the show's seventh season, when the episode Fight Club featured a local wrestling circuit as a backdrop to supernatural happenings. Tex Cobb and Kathy Griffin also appear in the episode, but it's RVD who is easy to miss in the episode as the unnamed opponent of Randall "Tex" Cobb's Bert Zupanic - a down on his luck wrestler hoping to finally hit the big time. While the episode is actually one of the most reviled X-Files outings of all time for most fans, it's still cool to see RVD working in the ring on one of the biggest sci-fi shows in history.
