Before he made that terrible switch into the killjoy Goodfather, everyone's favourite pimp was about as provocative and controversial as can be. At the height of the Attitude Era, he would openly ask his fans to roll up a "fatty" for him. When he wasn't parading around with a gang of would-be prostitutes in the ring, he was apparently getting high. Whispers have circulated for decades about who likes to blaze, and this name always comes up. I don't just mean the character, I mean the guy. Speaking to imetawrestler.com, he elaborated more publicly: "I got away with talking about weed so openly on TV because the network executives had no idea what I was saying. They didn't understand the slang. They had no idea what a "fatty" or a "blunt" was, so I was able to say all this stuff and they had no clue". So, that's why he always had a smile on his face! I thought it was the presence of the ladies. It's hard to believe that when I was 9 years old I was dancing along watching this guy, not really grasping or understanding his explicit references to drugs and prostitution - he was some way from Papa Shango!
