Matt Riddle's Mount Rushmore of stoners in pro wrestling shapes up about how you would expect.
While smoking is a huge part of Matt Riddle's personality and his in-ring persona, he's far from the first pro wrestler to reference 420 in character.
During an interview with Shakiel Mahjouri, Riddle was asked to name his Mount Rushmore of stoners in wrestling. Here's the catch: He never actually gets to four names. He does, however, name himself, Rob Van Dam, and Godfather. He claims he left off a fourth person because he would be missing too many names, and that would be unfair to people.
"Rob Van Dam is up there. Myself. The Godfather. Not only did he have ‘roll up the fatty for this pimp daddy,’ but he is very much involved in the scene just like I am and just like Rob is when it comes to cannabis. Right there, we got three. I think there are other wrestlers that smoke copious amounts of marijuana, but they have kept it under wraps. I know of other pro wrestlers that could be on this Mount Rushmore, that smoke a lot of cannabis, but I feel it wouldn’t be fair for me to be the one to out them. Let’s leave it at three."
There you have it, straight from the OG Bro himself.
Rob Van Dam is so committed to cannabis culture that he gifted Vince McMahon rolling papers at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony of the year that he was inducted. Learn more here.
