Guys that fucked up their own pushes

I know RVD was pulled over and got possession charges, but I don't think he really fucked up his push. I think the WWE pussied out on what could've been a huge opportunity.

Marijuana is huge in this country. While he may have alienated some of his fans after the incident, he also probably gained a lot of them too. Not only that, but the publicity and controversy surrounding him could have brought in more casual fans.

I mean, you had a guy getting drunk in the ring every night (Austin) and he was World Champion several times. You have a guy who smokes weed and his push is immediately killed. It's just bullshit STIGMA surrounding marijuana.
