Kurt Angle on Rob Van Dam's Marijuana arrest

[@CharleyTurner]

Their would be so many more wrestlers alive right now if their was a Wide-Open Marijuana policy in wrestling in the 90s.

[@YousefTube]

@@nadirsanchez1675 it's weird world legalize weeds and marijuana in a time where the society are a bunch of snowflakes n people get offended by the little things meanwhile back in the 90s when life was more badass it's illegal dose that make any sense what so ever

[@bradw4305]

@@nadirsanchez1675 bro you don’t know what your talking about clearly. Wrestlers in the wwe cannot smoke weed, they face a fat fine and they get consistently drug tested. You can literally see that on the company’s website. We are on the internet you got no excuse for being ignorant when u can research pretty much anything. Weed is still illegal on a federal level in America which is why WWE still stop their athletes using it.

[@bradw4305]

@@nadirsanchez1675 bro painkillers is different too weed. Painkillers are 100x worse then weed. It’s bad that wrestlers in the wwe even get a fine for smoking weed. But what I’m saying is as long as weed is illegal federally not just legal by some states regulations the wwe will continue too fine and stop their wrestlers smoking weed because Vince would be too worried about looking bad or upsetting his friends in high places .

[@bradw4305]

@@nadirsanchez1675 because whilst weed is legal in a lot of states, if you look at American federal law it’s still an illegal drug. Which is why companies can still get away with discriminating against employees that use marijuana in legal states. It’s a shitshow mate haha basically it’s legal in some states but not because it’s still federally classed as a drug it lets company’s treat it as one.

[@blancobenny8242]

Exactly all those pain killers and shit could’ve been avoided had they just let their wrestlers toke some wacky tobacky

[@stanhenderson9928]

Damn I wish RVD wouldn't have gotten caught with the weed charge, he probably wouldve had a good run and maybe multiple runs with the company. It wouldve been awesome, maybe him and Benoit, him and Angle, him and Mysterio, him and CM Punk for the belt wouldve been cool as hell.

[@bradlee5874]

Supposedly RVD was supposed to drop the WWE strap in a triple threat between him, Cena and Edge at SummerSlam 2006, but I'm not sure if he would have gained it back later on.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I’ll always wonder just because he chose to leave when his contract came up less than a year later. I just don’t think he’d ever truly be at the top because he didn’t care like they wanted.

[@edgariva12]

@@Matt-cr4vvevery time he had a title run he would let his contract end

[@OllieMartinGamer]

I've listened to Kurt talk in interviews for the last decade and always thought he had lost the plot. While coherent, he'd often just rubbish. In these podcasts he really sounds well articulated and knowledgeable. I'm really pleased he's turned it all around.

[@theworldisimmense]

Well he was on those 65 painkillers a day problem plus all the anxiety from his constant weekly job and putting your body on the line.

[@theungreatkahli]

Yeah. He probably was on gimmicks back then. I know he had a bad addiction in his previous days.

That was Perc Angle.

Love Kurt Angle especially now, glad he is such a honorable person. I tried sneaking backstage at a wwe show only for Angle to stop me. Was here in Alabama too

[@edwardpilipow2866]

I am a correctional officer and we have the same rules. We can be suspended or terminated if we fail a drug test for pot. I live 10 minutes south of Michigan where it is legal.

[@shanestephens4728]

The majority of the problem you’re having is having people still call it a “drug” and refer to it as “pot”. Lucky for you your job is dependant on those laws not being changed because there’s a shit ton more people using cannabis illicitly than are murdering, raping, assaulting, ya know all the shit people should get locked up for not smoking on the way home from a shitty 40-hour a week job.

[@davidhadley1391]

He got in trouble because he got arrested on a DUI because of it. It can be legal, yes, but it's still illegal to drive impaired. And it probably wouldn't have even been an issue either if the dashcam video hadn't got out.

[@mechtech6195]

i heard reports that he it wasn’t the DUI that got him pulled over he was speeding and had possessions of paraphernalia

[@lilstackz6771]

I think a big part of it was that RVD wasn’t super popular with guys like triple H who already looked at him like a burn out so that was just the excuse they needed

It’s kinda bullshit RVD got fucked for weed when there was crap going on that they definitely knew of with other superstars. It’s his fault for getting caught like that of course, but both titles was a bit much imo.

I’m forever amazed how WWE contracts have stood the rest of time legally. Everything about their agreements represent an employee relationship, yet somehow they can continue classifying people as contractors and save the taxes and benefits of them being employees.

Yeah they definitely needed to relax on the use of pot. Everything else I could see as a problem obviously, the loss of so many talented people. Nobody has ever died from smoking weed. I think it actually comes down to liabilities and a company trying not to be brought into some lawsuit.
