WWE Smackdown: Wrestling Stars vs. Ohio Police

Unfortunately for Rob Van Dam, Ohio state trooper J.N. Baker is not a wrestling fan.

Trooper Baker pulled over the WWE star on July 2 for going 72 in a 55-mile-per-hour zone. Unfortunately for Van Dam -- whose real name is Robert Alex Szatowski -- Baker and his partner also smelled pot in the car, and slapped the wrestler with a misdemeanor citation for possessing marijuana and vicodin. Terry Michael Brunk, who goes by the wrestling name Sabu, was in the passenger seat of the car and also was cited. Brunk, who was wearing a cap picturing a marijuana leaf, admitted on the police tape that he had smoked dope before getting into the car.

When Van Dam tried to explain to the officer that he was on his way to a gig, the officer admitted "I don't follow wrestling." Later, Baker looked inside the driver's window and asked, "You always drive with your shirt off?"

6. all wrestlers are becoming a joke.i use to watch all the time but to much cussing
and women trying to be sexy but are bad and could possibly do something
more easier and respectful.most of them would have trouble being hookers.
they need to bring back the old days when all they did was wrestle,but when you
have people like vince running things you cannot expect much.when he started the stuff involving god with shawn micheals he went way overboard.

10. aww man I wish there was a complete version of the dashcam, and to the guy who left the comment about smackdown he wasn't saying they're from smackdown the title is just a play on words.

11. As a wrestling fan I think I should step up and say, who cares about two pot head wrestlers who are supposed to pass a p*** test to stay on the roster. Why make a big deal out of these two getting stopped when the heir to the McMahon throne was born yesterday. (sense the sarcasm?)

15. It sucks. Theses two where the top 2 stars of the new ECW with Van Dam as the WWE and ECW champion. They were at the wrong place wrong time. But it is the law. Van Dam has been punished, he dropped the WWE title the following Monday and the ECW title that Tuesday followed by a 30 suspension. Sabu who was not driving, luckly got a slap on the wrist. Hope the New ECW can hold on till RVD gets back. They were building the entire product around him. THANKS R_V_D
