TNA wrestler Rob Van Dam says he's avoiding "any negative energy that may be out there" about his TNA debut by avoiding any reports or reviews of TNA Impact since he officially joined the promotion on March 8.

RVD said in a new blog posted on robvandam.com that he's "loving it there" in TNA thanks to the travel schedule, management, and crowd responses thus far.

"To counter any negative energy that may be out there, concerning TNA in any matter, let me just tell you that I am loving it there. The reasonable work schedule, the doable travel, the people in and behind the scenes, the growing situation, the excitement from the crowd, the unstoppable path to the top I’m on, love it all," RVD said. "I haven’t been reading any reports since I’ve joined. I’m just feeling the universal vibes and they feel good for TNA right now, and good for RVD."

RVD also put over his new hard rock ring entrance music where fans can chant along to "Rob...Van...Dam...the whole f'n show." He talked about the background on the theme in his blog on the website.

Caldwell's Analysis: One of the things completely missing from TNA's introduction of RVD is...actually introducing RVD to the audience. TNA assumes most of their viewing audience are long-time fans (exemplified by featuring 1990s acts as top stars in the promotion), but there is assuredly a segment of the audience that isn't familiar with RVD at all. TNA would be best served presenting a three-to-five-minute video package with highlights of RVD in action set to the new theme music. RVD could be in a sit-down interview setting talking about why he joined TNA. That should have been part of Chapter 1 when he debuted to actually introduce the character to the entire audience.
