Here is Part 2 of Live Audio Wrestling’s interview with Rob Van Dam. Catch The LAW every Sunday night at 11pm EST at www.liveaudiowrestling.com and on Hardcore Sports Radio on Sirius Channel 186

Jason Agnew : Lets get into the uh, your big push. Easily the biggest push of your career came in the spring of 2006 when they put the WWE and ECW titles on you. That push came to a halt of course after you and Sabu were pulled over on the highway on the way to a show and were in possession of marijuana. Now do you feel that the company reacted in the right way to what you guys did?

Rob Van Dam: The one school of thought says isn’t it supposed to be innocent till proven guilty? We didn’t have any hearing or trial or any questions before I was suspended. It was straight up hours after I had gotten pulled over so. I’m already fried in the media at that point so from a justice perspective it might not have been the exact right way, legally to go about it and to protect my situation. At the same time I did feel like they had to do that. It was all over the, you know I told Sabu on the way to the building “Relax, no ones even gonna hear about this, whats the big deal?” He was like “Are you sure?” I go “Dude, you know don’t worry about it. We got a phone call as we were about to pull in to the arena from Johnny Ace and apparently it was all over the internet, all over the radio and soon it was in the news papers. It was the biggest thing ever and the thing is people wanted to apologize for me. They wanted say “Ok yes, Rob messed up and he admits that you know and it’s about moving on.” You never heard me say I’m sorry, you never will here me say I’m sorry. The people who say it couldn’t have happened at a worse time, I say it couldn’t have happened at a better time because if I was not the world champion at the time nobody would have cared. Nobody would have given a crap and as I said it’s a good thing having your name in the news you know, my name was mentioned all over the place. Was I attached to and associated to something I was embarrassed about, hell no. I’m a strong abdicator for cannabis as you probably know and anytime a celebrity is associated with it, it makes a move in the right direction as far as changing the climate. People were told it’s a deadly drug, it kills people and that’s why it was outlawed. Now 40 years later they never told them any different. People are just feeling a little different about it because people like me, like Kevin on the Tonight Show, like many, many people on television make light of it and guess what when heroes are associated with it that makes light of it and that’s a good thing.
