Then on Saturday before Wrestlemania, Van Dam will be signing autographs in Brooklawn, New Jersey, at Indigo Dispensary.

The former WWE champion will sign autographs at the store at 302 Crescent Blvd. While the store will be open for business, no purchase is necessary, however, you must be 21 to go.

While he was born and raised in Battle Creek, Michigan, "RVD" first became a superstar in the United States when wrestling for ECW, which was based in South Philadelphia. There, he connected with the crowd and became arguably the greatest star in the promotion's history.

“Philadelphia is where I cut my teeth,” Van Dam said in a previous interview with the Asbury Park Press. “It’s where I learned to put everything together, not only to become a superstar in this business, but in Philadelphia, I had to live up to the standards and demands of the ECW fans.

“I’d go out and Paul Heyman said give it what you got. Even on pay-per-view, he’d say go out and feel it. I’m not sure if it was unprecedented, but it allowed me the freedom to make connection. Fans counted on Rob Van Dam, as a wrestler and an artist, it was exactly what you’d want.”

Van Dam will be at Ingido on Saturday afternoon from 3 to 6.

At the Wrestlecon show, Van Dam will take on "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who wrestles a lot RVD.

And on Sunday, RVD will head to Live! Casino and Hotel, 900 Packer Ave. in South Philadelphia. Van Dam will be there from 4 to 6 p.m.
