WWE Ringside Rebels - Rob Van Dam

Van Dam Likeness: 7/10

Riddle Likeness: 7/10

Ringside Rebels RVD has a look etched on its tiny plastic face that the athlete never displayed when competing in the squared circle. It looks closer to how he winds down after a night of Van Terminating. Yet, the 2002 release date pre-dates Van Dam's 2006 arrest and wellness policy violation for possession of cannabis.

Thankfully, RVD's downtime delight no longer comes with harsh penalties and life altering punishments. He is free to not only celebrate being higher than any frog splash, but also use Instagram to sell his own RVD branded CBD oil.

The 12" Van Dam serves as an unintentional monument of wrestling's greatest stoner. But, RVD has a challenger for wrestling's stoner sage. Riddle has took his own love of green and combined it with a pastiche of Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) from classic '80s comedy Fast Time at Ridgemont High.

The fact that Ringside Rebels figure looks equal RVD and Riddle, is a testament to how well Jakks Pacific managed to capture the bliss of a hit, whether intentional or not.
