Then: Ex-porn star (not really) Val Venis had never been less important by the time the 2001 Rumble came around. He was part of the Right To Censor faction, but had lost any sense of presence on the roster. The poor guy was just another forgettable face in the 30-man match.

Now: Val is very outspoken about the wonders of marijuana use on social media, and he doesn't care who knows it. In fact, he regularly has 'blaze and rant' sessions on his Instagram page. Beyond that, he was also recently banned from Twitter for posting controversial conspiracy theories.

We'll leave you to Google details on that, because it's a bit grim.
