(FOUR) BRIAN KENDRICK
I could have gone with people like Randy Orton, Evan Bourne, or others who have been suspended because of marijuana being in their system. They just don’t get out there enough though. We find out and then it’s hush-hush. I’m talking about those who are stoners and have been candid about it and their support and love for marijuana. Basically, this is “wrestlers I’d like to smoke with”. One of the first people that came to mind was Brian Kendrick. He got was fined for having pot in his system reportedly a dozen times. He has been very open about WWE’s testing policy against the green substance. He just seems like a cool “Spicolli” kind of guy. Don’t let that fool you, he’s got a great mind for wrestling and has to be one of the most underrated guys to hit TV in recent memory.
(THREE) SEAN WALTMAN
Kayfabe Commentaries has a DVD shoot with Waltman where he rolls a joint in a mere few seconds. He didn’t need to use their “prop weed” because the dude had his own bud inside of his Camel Crush cigarette pack. THAT is a stoner, folks. If you’re a daily smoker that kind of thing is normal as anything. It’s just just a gimmick with him. It’s gotten him in trouble, but I’m sure he’d be the first person to say that the weed wasn’t the reason. It’s just his thing.
(TWO) RVD
When people think of wrestling stoners Rob Van Dam should be the first person to come to mind. As the ECW superstar we had “RVD 420” and as he matured towards the WWE he’d still get in the stoner references whenever he could. It would eventually be part of other drug charges that’d mess up his biggest run though. RVD is still a huge smoking advocate. He has been in HIGH TIMES magazine, he’s been arrested over it, and he represents the cause and lifestyle very well.
(ONE) SHELLY MARTINEZ
I have to put Shelly Martinez as my number one. She is cool as hell. WWE fans should remember her as the vampire/tarot card reader “Ariel”. She was around in 2006/2007. She showed up in TNA as part of the LAX too. It’s fair to say she hasn’t had a fair run yet. She was (and is) hot and had tons of personality, but never really got a shot to run with any major storyline or cut any big moment promos. If you’ve watched or listened to her podcasts you’d hear that she is very entertaining and can easily take center stage. She’s just unconventional. While I’m a fan of that unconventional free-spirit nature, I could see it freaking others out. She does silly things like superhero shorts, podcasts, and just has what seems like a lot of fun. She doesn’t seem to take life too seriously, except for specific things. One of the big topics of discussion seems to always be marijuana. Shelly is a huge advocate of medical marijuana. If you google her name and the word “weed” you’ll see some very hot pictures. How could you not want to smoke with her?
