Walking away from WWE wasn't an easy choice, and Benoit conveyed the message to Van Dam that the locker room admired him for his bold move. Here's what the WWE Hall of Famer revealed about his final interaction with The Rabid Wolverine on a recent episode of the Cafe De Rene podcast:
"In 2006 or 2007, whenever it was the same situation, but at this time, he said, 'Rob, I heard you were leaving.' I said, 'Yeah when my contract's up, I'm not going to re-sign," revealed RVD. "He goes, 'Hey, a lot of us respect you for that, man.' I said, 'Okay, I'm not saying I'm never going to come back.' Hey, it doesn't matter!
