*cue Jeff Hardy joke*
 
Quote:

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?

Juan 11-08-2008 12:03 AM

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.

Unless Punk got secretly moved to Smackdown then, no.

Nope.

Also, joking aside, Jeff Hardy's still probably fucked.

Nark Order 11-08-2008 12:12 AM

I hope it isn't Kendrick. He's one of the reasons why I watch Smackdown.

Nark Order 11-08-2008 12:13 AM

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

Impact! 11-08-2008 01:57 AM

It's clearly Michelle McCool

Lux 11-08-2008 02:40 AM

Wonder who the guilty party is.

NeanderCarl 11-08-2008 03:47 AM

Must be somebody earning decent money to be willing to spunk $12K for a cheeky bifta here and there.

My money is on Carlito.

Mind you, maybe that's why Festus always looks so spaced out...

Londoner 11-08-2008 04:01 AM

Kendricks the only one i can think of it being, though he started winning again this week.

GD 11-08-2008 09:04 AM

We are having Jeff Hardy vs. Taker- Extreme Rules next week.

No reliable source has claimed a brand.

Though it's pretty obvious it's Jeff Hardy.

Y2Ant 11-08-2008 01:56 PM

I am willing to bet that the guilty party is none other than Kung Fu Naki.

DrA 11-08-2008 03:41 PM

hahaha this calls for a Jeff Hardy joke

Jeritron 11-08-2008 03:45 PM

All jokes aside, it's obvioulsy 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.

Lux 11-08-2008 08:27 PM

So Jeff is off the hook?

Kane Knight 11-08-2008 08:50 PM

Who is Bill Behrens, why do we care, and what source would print something that poorly written? Is the Noid Post finally up and running?

Londoner 11-08-2008 11:04 PM

Just had a thought,could it be Batista???

Lux 11-08-2008 11:09 PM

I think it is. It would explain the sudden title change.

CharismaInjection 11-09-2008 07:24 AM

Well I wouldn't say Kendrick's push has stopped, more slowed down, as he's still winning technically.

Because Batista is on Smackdown.

Or maybe they wanted to hold off on Cena/Batista II until Mania?

Just a hunch...

NeanderCarl 11-09-2008 01:13 PM

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?

Lux 11-09-2008 01:18 PM

Just hope its Bats with us CAC :mad:

NeanderCarl 11-09-2008 01:19 PM

Why? Nothing will happen to him.

NeanderCarl 11-09-2008 01:19 PM

Watch him have some kind of No. 1 Contender's match at Survivor Series now, as a punishment....

Lux 11-09-2008 01:23 PM

God if that happened I'd off myself.

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.

Xero 11-09-2008 02:04 PM

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'.

Mr. Nerfect 11-09-2008 05:24 PM

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....

Sepholio 11-09-2008 06:02 PM

It was obviously Adamle. He got his RAW GM push shutdown because the pot was making him botch his lines.

Londoner 11-09-2008 07:26 PM

Well said KK.

LOL seph.
