4:20 - Surprising Smokers in wrestling ?


Recommended Posts

I was very surprised to hear, for some reason, that Bobby Heenan liked a puff and seemingly preferred it to the booze.

 
I was even more surprised to find out that Bobby had been once arrested for possessing nearly 50g of weed in 1991 at an airport.

Hacksaw Duggan was a big pothead by all accounts, at least back in the. 80’s .

Jim Ross mentioned his J smoking in long car rides quite a bit in his book also. He talked about rolling joints for Bill Watts whilst Jim was driving. 
 

Bret Hart , to be fair you could predict Bret alright. Definitely the type to take the vibe down a notch..
 

Bruce Pritchard has mentioned on his podcast that he preferred smoking in his hotel room to drinking in the bar.

 

Rey Mysterio - it does terrify me to wonder if Rey may possibly have had some of his best matches and done some of his most crazy spots whilst stoned.  

Jerry Brisco also liked a smoke seemingly 

Ric Flair… in the cannabis business. 
 

Val Venis. Is surely now more of an example of why weed shouldn’t be legal. I don’t think he is the better for how much he smokes, he is gone full raving looney isn’t he ?

 

Any other people that would’t expect to be weed smokers?

Hogan is a lifelong toker.  I forget who said it, but it's been remarked that had he not become a wrestler he'd just have been one of those stoners lounging about on a beach in Miami in board shorts for his entire life.

Speaking of.. did anyone see the video with him and Foley chatting about their careers?  It was a very different Hogan, very apologetic to Foley for dissing him earlier in his career, seemingly very self-aware and, for him, humble.  I saw a similar interview with him about 6 months ago where he seemed so much chiller than when he was active.

I know he got remarried recently and turned 70, it seems to have changed him.

What heat did Hogan and Foley have in the first place?

Hogan went on some show and buried the fuck out off Mick for being out of shape etc

I couldn't find it on Youtube but it's in this Reddit link including the rebuttal.

Yeah, it was about him being a glorified stuntman - something I think Flair actually said, but Hogan's memory is shot (see thread title).

He's stopped drinking got married, got baptised and got himself in shape.

Maybe there's something in the waccy baccy after all!

What are you talking about? He would have been playing bass for Metallica, brother.

Yeah, but is it the weed that makes him say dumb shit, or was he always like that?

Who knows how we'd view some of the Attitude/Ruthless Aggression bunch if Twitter was a thing back then.
