Let me suggest something crazy here:

RVD got everything he deserved

Now I don't necessarily have this opinion, but I think its worthy of consideration. The guy comes in,and expects to be pushed to the moon, which given his talent level, isn't unreasonable. However, he goes out on the main event stage and if I remember correctly, busts Austin's lip (required stitches) and gave Angle a concussion, something of that sort.

Vince punishes him as a way to show that he's gotta be less reckless.

02 rolls around and he's finally in a main event feud with HHH. A feud we ALL know he should walk out of with the world title. HHH allegedly uses his pull to keep the title despite RVD still being majorly over.

RVD becomes frustrated, give a little less each time after every crappy tag team and feud he's put in. This when you have guys who have been with the company 8,10,12 years and don't so much and come close to the world title.

This continues until 05-06. The idea of bringing back ECW shows some change in him, as we see a different RVD. In 05, though he's hurt he still shows up at ONS, in 06 he wins the then WWE title from John Cena. We see more vintage RVD than recent RVD.

Then the incident with Sabu occurs.

Let's be honest and I don't know the ages of the posters on this board, but for those of you 15-21 you understand that marijuana use is very prevalent in our society. I'm 23 and I get that. But I also realize that if I test positive for marijuana at my job, I'm not demoted, I'm not depushed, my ass is fired, period. So in that respect I feel he's lucky to still be where he is.

Not saying I believe all that, but its all somewhat valid.
