Episode five of Sean Waltman’s X-Pac 1,2,360 with special guest Rob Van Dam is on iTunes and YouTube, as seen in the video above. In this rare interview RVD reveals his current WWE deal, talks about watching Ancient Aliens with Action Bronson and tells the story of Taz and Sandman costing Sabu $30,000 They sent us these highlights:

His current run with WWE:

“I have a deal now with them, just like [Chris] Jericho, where I can do short term deals. I did a three-month deal and still did sixty-six matches in ninety days, and then the traveling. So then the next time I went back I spread it out a little more, was doing mostly just TVs and that was over five months. It was like eighty matches, or eighty-eight. Me and Jericho have the same deal but I don’t have the ambition that he does. He likes being there a lot. I mean, I really like not being on the road. A lot of celebrities are afraid of being out of sight, out of mind. I’m the complete opposite. I’ve always been trying to do as little as possible and I’m getting better at it all the time.”

Did WWE contact him for the brand extension?

I had personal stuff that I was going through. But there’s always a dollar amount that makes it worthwhile, you know what I mean? But the amount that would’ve made it worth it for me to go out and work wouldn’t have been worth it for them and what they were thinking, and so that just didn’t work out, which was good because I really wasn’t wanting to do it then. And also I might’ve scared them away with the number it would’ve taken to make it worth my while. So no, I really haven’t even talked to them.”

Appearing on Action Bronson and Friends Watch Ancient Aliens:

“That was the craziest thing we filmed. There was never an ‘action’ or a ‘cut.’ We never really knew what we were doing. It was just hanging out and they must’ve filmed for five hours. We were there for at least three and then they just keep the best moments. I had it figured out after awhile. Sabu never did. He was still like, ‘Are they still filming?'”

What happened when RVD tried to take a picture with Jean-Claude Van Damme:

“When he came in my manager went up to his entourage because he was walking through and he said, hey you know, could we get a picture …
