Umm... Hardy and Rock are usually good guys, and the rest are usually bad guys. Might have something to do with it.

Well that blows. Wonder what this means for Rey's future with WWE.

[soxfan93]

I've been saying Rey should retire for a few years now. 2 strikes, another knee surgery, etc. I can honestly see him retiring.

Because WWE are stupid on both counts. You got a serious gimmick that makes no sense and a comedy gimmick that is about as funny as a funeral.

And yeah, Soxfan, Rey probably should retire. He knees sound like they are a mess and I am honestly so bored of him these days.

He is almost certainly prescribed steroids comming off the very serious knee surgery. It's extremely common among patients with physical jobs to be treated with steroids for their ability to grow damaged tissue.

But this isn't against WWE's policy.

So it was probably something fun. If it was a party drug... ehh.... tough to explain. Especially with the way Eddie went out and all. You'd think the guy wouldn't be that stupid.

I've learned it's best never underestimate a person's stupidity. But yeah, what you said checks out. I am pretty sure he'd be on the roids legally and prescribed which raises the question, what the heck did he do?

isn't Rey a fan of the sticky icky?

Not sure, asking, could have sworn id heard that somewhere though.

If so i could see rey saying "f it, im about to retire anyway, if i get caught i get caught" and smoking a little chronic during rehab.

who knows though.

Him smoking marijuana isn't going to lead him down the same path as Eddie Guerrero.

Rey lives in California, weed is legal there if you have it prescribed.

Don't think WWE will agree with that, but its the law there....

(and yes, anyone can get it prescribed for any reason, crooked doctors and all)

You are right it is legally prescribed there as well as some other states like here in Michigan. However it is still illegal on a Federal level. So technically it is still illegal even with a prescription.

Yea the problem is the Fed's don't see it that way either.

Under bush, it was heavily prosecuted by the DEA. only difference is Obama told the DEA "hey, lets pick our battles here." and told them to butt out.

EDIT: juggs beat me to it.

To address this point, marijuana can be dangerous. I know High Times loves to publish all these wonderful studies of it's health benefits. But EVERYTHING I've ever read in a peer reviewed medical journal leads me to believe that marijuana, when smoked of course, is a very unhealthy thing to do.

So to clarify the point I'd made, I dont believe Rey or anyone else would die of marijuana overdose. I simply thought a man whose best friend died from illicit drug use would keep his nose clean.

On reflection, thats kind of a catty thing to say. Rey's or anyone else's drug use is their business. I'm no saint myself.

I believe a company does have a right to set up it's own drug policy in the U.S. This has been a controversial issue as several companies and healthcare organizations have fired people or refused hiring people for tobacco use, which they considered against company policy.

So Rey can live wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. It's his business. If it's legal in his state - that's wonderful. But If WWE has a policy against using marijuana of any kind (and I believe they do) then he still should and will be disciplined.

Well of course any drug or substance for that matter done to excess is a bad idea, and awful for your health. But if he does smoke pot, that doesn't mean he's on some downward spiral into harder, more dangerous drugs.

But if done in moderation, Studies have consistently shown that pot is no more damaging than alcohol and perhaps much less so, and is far, far less addictive.

For instance, I've smoked occasionally (read: 2-5 times a month) since i was 16 and have somehow managed to maintain a pretty high standard of living, both socially, economically and physically despite what reefer madness may claim.

Now, if i was a moron and a waste of space pot head, of course things would be different, and who knows what level rey is at. but to compare pot to coke, which was eddy's reported pass time of choice, is apples to oranges.

That said, fully agree with your second point. Pot, dispute what your personal feelings on it, is a drug. A private company like the WWE is well within it's rights to test for it, and base employment decisions off it. If thats really what got rey nailed, shame on him. You do so at your own risk when your employer has a policy against it.

of course this is all speculation, since WWE never releases what they fail for, right?
