Rob Van Damme hasn’t hidden anything in the past with WWE’s marijuana policy.
Talk about him “Types of RVDs” The podcast, WWE Hall of Famer, revealed how it approached the company’s $1,000 fine for testing Weed during its 2013 and 2014 returns. RVD said he initially tried to play by rules for his first runback.
“When I went to WWE to return in 2013 and was arrested for smoking marijuana, I was fined $1,000 at the time.” He said. “I signed a 90-day, 3-month contract, 66 games. I decided to take a break from smoking myself… I stopped a month before I started WWE. When I did my first Piss test, it failed a month later on how dirty my system was.”
The failure of the test prompted me to have a brief conversation with WWE executive Mark Carano. “Mark Carano said, ‘Hey, you failed the piss test. You should have been clean.’ “It’s because I was smoking a month ago and haven’t smoked since I came here, so it’s 35 days.”
But by the time he returned to WWE in 2014 with 88 matches over five months, Van Dam had chosen a different route. “This time I was able to stop again. Just no, no. I just went through it and paid a fine, so I decided to do that. I fined two or three times.”
He also broke how long the weeds stay in your system depending on how you use it. “If you’re a heavy smoker, it takes 35 days to get out of the system. If you just smoke a little here and there, if it shows up in your system, you haven’t seen that many days. It all depends on how saturated you are.”
RVD is supposed to be part of what sets him apart from others, and back then and now, his decision to be realistic about his lifestyle choices.
