10 Examples Of WWE Punishment Booking

9. Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam waited years for his opportunity at the top of the professional wrestling tree, but when he finally got it in the summer of 2006, it was all too brief.

The 'Whole F'n Show' saw his short-lived WWE and ECW Championship reigns brought to an abrupt halt when he was arrested for possession of marijuana shortly after Vengeance, resulting in a nominal 30-day suspension.

By way of punishment, he duly dropped one of his belts to Edge on Raw, and the other to Big Show on the following night's ECW (on Sci-Fi), making him perhaps the only wrestler in history to lose two world titles in the space of 24 hours.

That would probably have been humiliating to most, but RVD - for some reason - is usually pretty mellow.
