10 WWE Wrestlers Who Enjoyed Smoking Weed

3. Brian Kendrick

This specific selection may come as a shock to those only familiar with him from his time with WWE and TNA, but anyone who knows Brian Kendrick well enough is aware he's quite the stoner. Spending most of his WWE tenure as a tag team competitor, he finally broke off on his own when he was drafted to the SmackDown brand in 2008. With Ezekiel Jackson (aka Big Ryck from Lucha Underground) as his new heavy, Kendrick was pushed aggressively in the latter half of the year, embarking on an undefeated streak that saw him mix it up with the likes of Jeff Hardy and Triple H. At Unforgiven, he unofficially reigned as WWE champion for a brief period of time (see: Scramble match) in a bout that also involved Hardy, Triple H, Shelton Benjamin and MVP. His push came to an abrupt halt going into 2009 when he was hardly featured on programming, sparingly making appearances. His move to Raw later in the year did him no good, eventually earning his release from the company in August. Although his sudden demotion came as a mystery at the time, it's since been confirmed by Kendrick himself in various interviews he loves smoking marijuana; having been fined by management for his weed habit on countless occasions was obviously a major factor in his departure. The former WWE Tag Team champion may appear to be the last person you'd expect to do drugs, but alas, he isn't one to take lightly.
