10 WWE Wrestlers Who Enjoyed Smoking Weed

1. Rob Van Dam

Perhaps the best part about Rob Van Dam is not only is he the single biggest toker in the wrestling business (both past and present), he's one of the only wrestlers to have incorporated into his gimmick. A major advocate of smoking marijuana for as long as anyone can remember, he's constantly making the media rounds giving his two cents on why it should be legalized and isn't as bad as it's perceived to be by the public. Whether you agree with his stance on the subject or not, you can't help but root for the guy for laid back, relaxed attitude in and out the ring; he's far too likable. Moreover, he's open about the fact weed has cost him a handful of pushes during his time with WWE, most notably when he reigned as WWE and ECW champion simultaneously in the summer of 2006. A mere month removed from winning both belts, RVD was busted for possession of 18 grams of marijuana, resulting in him dropping the titles in the days that followed. When his contract expired the following year, he left the company and went a whole six years without appearing on WWE programming before returning in 2013. Speaking of such, how does he continue to wrestle for WWE with their current Wellness Policy in place? Does he go without smoking for months at a time during his brief stints with the company? Nevertheless, smoking weed has been ingrained in the RVD character over the course of his career and he shouldn't be faulted for it. One of the most popular wrestlers during his prime, his Mr. 420 persona has undoubtedly cemented him a spot in the annals of WWE history.
