Sean Waltman deserves a pat on the back for his honesty, but he didn't back in 1995.

In an interview with Wrestling Inc, he told how he'd regularly smoke pot before being drug-tested by doctors in the WWF. At the '95 Royal Rumble, choosing to disregard authority almost caught up with him; Sean smoked a few joints the night before then turned up for the show as normal. He was sure he could talk his way out of being tested.

Dave Hebner tricked him into meeting with docs by saying someone needed to speak with him about that night's creative. Thinking on his feet, Waltman told the doctor he couldn't pee, and so there was no way of testing him. That's when the scrub told him he could p*ss for him. It'd only cost $200.

Sean admitted pulling the cash out of his wallet quickly, leaving the room and getting on with his tag match that night. He ended his recollection by saying the doc "made a lot of money that day". Wow. It's not every day wrestlers openly discuss this sort of thing.
