WWE Management's View on Marijuana Use

[IC Champion]

By Matt Boone on April 25, 2007 at 3:58 PM EST

According to the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter, WWE management does, to a degree, look down upon young wrestlers who “overindulge” in a marijuana habit.

The company believes that marijuana could factor into a wrestler’s lack of desire to get ahead. If a wrestler who has a reputation for a lack of passion also smokes marijuana, he will likely be viewed as a “pothead”—management will likely refrain from giving him a push until he kicks (or hides) the habit.

The same does not apply to marijuana use by veteran WWE wrestlers. WWE accepts the notion that such wrestlers have proven their commitment to success and, consequently, have “earned the right” to indulge.

Under its wellness policy, WWE does not formally test for marijuana use.



I made a topic similar to this last week, lol.

[The One]

Well, I guess Rob and Jeff are safe...

[IC Champion]

Well, I guess Rob and Jeff are safe...
They'll just never pushed much passed where they are

[Destor]

That's pretty reasonable.

[IC Champion]

I thought so myself, maybe Vince should start smoke some ganja, he seems a bit stressed sometimes.

[chrisat928]

Makes sense. Let them smoke pot instead of getting addicted to painkillers.

Oh please, look at the shit he comes up with with both feet on the ground.

After 1 week of use...

hm, Umaga Vs Viscera might make a good match.

After 1 month of use.

Hm, Umaga Vs Viscera would be a great PPV main event.

After 6 months of use

Hm, Umaga Vs Viscera Vs Khali would be a great feud for the title

After a year of use.

Hm, Umaga Vs Viscera Vs Khali Iron Man Match is going to be a great Wrestlemania main event.

After two years of use.

DAMN IT I CANT EVEN AFFORD ANOTHER JOINT ANYMORE! YOURE ALL FIRED!

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, potheads are lazy bastards.

[Volare]

[Mooияakeя™]

After a year of use.

lol. Laughed my ass off at that post. Just picturing the crowd half dead and Lawler making some smart comments with Jr repeatedly saying "Look at the power of these men".

[JJT420]

I can imagine RVD walking into Vince's office before a commercial, then a couple segments later he walks out and you see a huge cloud of smoke come out with him, then Vinny comes out with a stupid narrow eyed look on his face, "I Got The Munchies Like A Motha!", *Coach walks up* uhhh Mr.MdMahon *sniff* whats that sm...nevermind, you are due in the ring right now!, Vince - you do it im gonna go get some pudding!....

[Dave Youell]

The the policy is as follows

If your in the mid card your never going to get pushed

But if your a main eventer it's expected and it's fine

Riiiiiiiight

[OverTaker]

I wonder if The Rock smoked to get where he is today. He had a vision to be the most electifying man in sports enteretainment.

Some people smoke and just talk and talk and talk and actually make sense.

[OverTaker]

Undertaker and Kane fire up a fat one before a match. Hell, maybe even Mick Foley joins them.

[The Naitch]

what are you talking about, Tanked? :wtf:

[Super V]

The the policy is as follows

If your in the mid card your never going to get pushed

But if your a main eventer it's expected and it's fine

Riiiiiiiight
Why do you think Umaga didn't get the title?

[Kane Knight]

The Rock was waaaaay too uptight to be on pot. I think he was loaded n NoDoze or Ginseng.

[OverTaker]

LOL, Ginseng Tea and Animal crackers.
