Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE officials are fed up with certain Superstars who keep failing marijuana tests. Up until this point, a failed test for pot gets you a $1,000 fine.
A few wrestlers were told as of late to outright stop using marijuana immediately because discipline for use if going to get more serious soon. One Superstar has now failed 11 or 12 times and his push that he was getting recently has been stopped and another planned push has been slowed down.
No word yet on who the wrestler is, but it’s not MVP. His push being stopped is said to be because a number of other factors, mainly saying the wrong thing at the wrong time
Prowrestling.net has confirmed reports that several WWE wrestlers have been confronted about failing marijuana tests. The failures are not considered violations of the Wellness Policy. Rather, a positive test results in a $1,000 fine. One Smackdown performer has failed nearly a dozen tests.
Any Jeff Hardy jokes aside, I'm thinking it might be THE Brian Kendrick. I'm basing it off of Kendrick ditching London right before Mania only for him to suddenly start teaming with him again a few weeks later.
Then moving to Smackdown, getting repackaged as a heel, getting numerous wins, even being in the Smackdown Championship Scramble at Unforgiven. However lately he's been sort of on the back burner to 100% Zeke.
So am I the only one thinking Punk?
TBK makes sense. Don't really know who else it could be. I doubt CM Punk would've gotten a tag title reign if this were about him.

I know Matt Hardy has been known to smoke pot but he isn't on Smackdown and is a major (kind of) champion.

Wonder who the guilty party is.

Kendricks the only one i can think of it being, though he started winning again this week.
We are having Jeff Hardy vs. Taker- Extreme Rules next week.
Unless Punk got secretly moved to Smackdown then, no.
No reliable source has claimed a brand.
Though it's pretty obvious it's Jeff Hardy.

Bill Behrens has a follow-up to the WWE/Marijuana use controversy:
It is true that quite a few wrestlers have tested positive for marijuana and have been fine $1000, several have repeatedly been fine. In fact several big name wrestlers left WWE entirely in part because of the fines related to their marijuana use. At least one wrestler's recent release by WWE was tied to repeat positive marijuana tests.
For some WWE stars the back-up plan for marijuana has been to drink more alcohol, which is legal and not a restricted drug unless a wrestler is found impared at a show. Add prescription pills to the mix (doctor prescribed), and you have much more severe potential problems than are created by marijuana (and that have led to talent release too), but since marijuana remain illegal in most States, WWE is in a tough spot given how complete their testing now is. How do they ignore pot, when there are even legal products sold at GNC that can cause test failures and that have led to talent releases.

You say no reliable source has claimed a brand, but no reliable source has claimed that someone has failed a dozen tests either. Both these nuggets of gossip come from the same newsbite.
So how can you speculate on who it is, yet not take the "it's a SmackDown guy" part verbatim also?
Just hope its Bats with us CAC :mad:

Wrestling Observer and Prowrestling.net are the same source? They looked like different newsbites being reported from different sources to me. I've been told over MSN that the WO one is on their pay site or one of their newsletters or whatever, and that's the one that has credibility and it's the one that doesn't say Smackdown.
BOTH sources give a number near a dozen. One says Smackdown, but it's the less reliable source. Why should I have to take "Smackdown" verbatim when I'm not drawing the number from that source without corroborating evidence from a source that's reliable?
Would this apply if it was the WO and LOP posting the same item, with LOP, a site which is wrong almost 100% of the time, posting an additional note that it was a Smackdown star?

While this is, in fact, reasonable, it makes little sense to have taken the title off Jericho for such a ridiculously short reign. I have trouble buying this as the sole reason they'd circle jerk the fans, especially when they view Bats as the more marketable.
The ONLY sites I trust are the Observer/F4W and PWInsider (the latter of which I have an elite subscription). Everything else, as far as I'm concerned, is News with a "Z".
Official sites I consider complete works except for release information.
And just to note, the majority of "Z" sites (WrestleZone, LoP, etc) steal their content from those two sites. A lot of the time it's misquoted and/or uncredited, especially what I've seen stolen from PWInsider's audio.

The way I see it, they wanted to put the title on Bats then in typical fashion, they decided they wanted Cena wrestling for the title in his return match. So instead of having Cena/Batista II at Survivor Series, they put the belt back on Jericho so they could save the other for Mania.
I mean it's not the first time a World Title has been traded back and forth in a short period of time.

They probably had a kneejerk reaction to a bad rating, found out Cena would be able to return at Survivors and thought 'fuck we better put the belt back on Jawn ASAP', hence the sudden change of heart.
Fickle fuckers that they are.
'Long-term planning' is a dirty term, up there with 'wrestling', 'wrestler' and 'Randy Savage'.

The Brian Kendrick and Jeff Hardy both make sense. If I were Kendrick, I'd just say I was using it to get into character, seeing as Kendrick seems to be playing a stoner sort of type, busting out the armchair philosophy. It does seem his push is starting to pick back up, though, as does Jeff Hardy's.

These are the two most viable sources. I say most, because they're not 100% reliable, either. But still, they're a thousand times more accurate than the next best site.
Anyway, not only do they tend to steal, but they often add things for the sake of an "exclusive" report. So the fact that the WO note says nothing about SD and the other says it is EXACTLY in keeping with what they tend to do, and they do so to get extra readers/wesbite hits and subscriptions. Because they're offering a scoop not in PWI!!!!!...Mostly because they pulled it from their ass....

I'm not too into drugs myself, but wouldn't smoking pot be a much safer alternative to some of the things these guys take to fight off the pain? The British Bulldog comes to mind, and so do guys like Guerrero and Angle. Granted, I'm not exactly a medical genius; it just doesn't make much sense to me.
No shit sherlock.
Marijuana isn't a drug, its a plant idiot.
THC is a chemical which is probably why most consider it a drug or they just have narrow minded thinking like you.

Eddie mixed cocaine, beer and steroids. Do you think the legal one was the problem?
Angle got prescriptions, and should really demonstrate more another flaw in the Wellness Policy than anything else.
Jeez, as a Pharmacist, do I get involved in this discussion or not?
** flips coin **
Lux, that is probably the most retarded thing you have said in...the last 2 days.
THC IS a drug. It happens to be a therapeutic drug - used for the treatment of glaucoma and also for pain relief as well as a drug of abuse.
To say it's not a drug...:roll:
I really don't feel like having yet another debate about whether dope is a drug of addiction or whether it should be legalised. I have my opinion and I'll let you have yours, but...it IS a drug.
I was using Kenny logic, I thought after the last 3 days of his terrible threads someone would catch it :o
Btw THC is found "on" cannabis ;)
I am curious to how its abused and I'm seriousy curious on this mater.

Seriously, I have no desire to debate this for perhaps the 999th time in my life.
For as much research as there is for one side of the argument there is as much research for the other side (probably being over-generous here in applying the word "research" so freely).
From my education, I chose to believe one side of the argument and the research available regarding THC-induced pychosis. You are free to believe the other side.

From the front page:

As most of you probably know by now, a story recently surfaced regarding a number of WWE wrestlers being confronted about failing marijuana tests as officials are said to be fed up with the problem. The failures are not considered violations of the Wellness Policy, but rather, simply result in a $1,000 fine. However, a couple of wrestlers were told outright to stop using now and warned them discipline for use is going to get a lot more serious soon.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted one wrestler in particular as failing for pot 11 or 12 times not to mention that his push of not that long ago was stopped.
I can finally identify the wrestler in question.
According to sources backstage, the wrestler in question who failed a dozen tests for pot is Brian Kendrick, whose push has leveled off in recent weeks. Kendrick is said to be a frequent marijuana smoker who happily pays the fines to continue his habit.
Amidst the story of WWE's marijuana crackdown, the Pro Wrestling Torch noted that one wrestler was let go this year as a result of his marijuana habit, at least on top of a few other things. The wrestler in question is Trevor Murdoch, who was released this past July. Murdoch is said to be a frequent marijuana smoker.
LOL
"Brian Kendrick is said to be a frequent marijuana smoker who happily pays the fines to continue his habit."
Love him right now, for the marijuana but more so that his character has a "I can get away with it because I rock" attitude. Irony.
As soon as I noticed TBK was nowehere on the Survivor Series card, I kinda figured it was him.
Also, TBK is my new favortite wrestler :love:
Really not surprised. Seems like a stoner.
The thought of him handing in the money at the time of piss test with a shit-eating grin is pretty hilarious.

Now all we need is for him to do a promo and end it with "If you smell what The Brian Kendrick is smoking" and I will be a fan for life :love:
RVD kicked ass, Jeff Hardy is basically going to be WWE Champion, depending he gets through the next few months without BLOWING IT, big fan of his and now The Brian Kendrick.
He really is a man with a plan... to get stoned.

Jeff is on a separate plan. They just deduct $12,000 a year and skip the tests.
I'm also saying on record I would smoke with Jeff Hardy, RVD, The Brian Kendrick and Juan.
RVD: "Hey Guys, who's this dude that's always hangin' around us?"
Hardy: "I thought he was with YOU."
RVD: "Nuh-uh. Brian, is he one of yours?"
TBK: "Are you kidding me? Seriously? Juan, he one of your mates?"
Juan: :shifty: "Ummmmm, what was the question again?"
