WWE Management's View on Marijuana Use
 
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.

That's pretty reasonable.

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

chrisat928 04-25-2007 04:49 PM

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

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 04-25-2007 09:29 PM

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!....

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

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 04-28-2007 03:30 AM

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

The Naitch 04-28-2007 04:32 AM

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

OverTaker 04-28-2007 04:00 PM

LOL, Ginseng Tea and Animal crackers.
