10 WWE Wrestlers Who Break The Corporate Mould
7. Riddle
There are many things about Riddle that make him a perfect contender for the typical image that WWE likes to present. He is tall, has long flowing hair, and is gifted with an impressive physique that he's spent a lot of time working on. Despite this, there is a not so subtle message behind his gimmick and presentation that certainly contradicts the company's image.
Much like Rob Van Dam, Riddle is open about his passion and consumption of Marijuana. While he doesn't parade around wearing hemp inspired ring-attire, his deliberate stoner inspired promos, and irreverent character work are an obvious indicator of this particular type of plant.
It's surprising to see him hired within a company that works hard to attain a family-friendly corporate image when his weed filled connotations are so heavy. Although the punishment for smoking Cannabis is somewhat lax in WWE as compared to yesteryear, it's still highly frowned upon, and definitely not something that the company would be keen to associate with.
