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?"

67. I AM A WRESTLING FAN. I HAVE BEEN EVER SINCE I WAS 3 YRS. OLD. (I'M NOW 58). SOME OF TODAY'S SUPERSTARTS THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. NO ONE IS. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO YOU ARE ME. THE PRICE WE WOULD PAY WPULD BE A HIGH ONE. NO ONE TO GET US OUT OF JAIL. IN MY OPITION THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE PUT IN A HOSPITAL AN SEE WHERE THE SUBANTANCE ABUSE WILL TAKE THEM. THAT'S MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. I KNOW I'M IN A RECORVEY PROGRAM MYSELF (25 YRS). I HAVE SEEN THE PRICE PEOPE HAVE PAID. IT'S SAD WORLD WHEN CHILDEN LOOK UP TO YOU. AND THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOW THEM. NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE LEAVING SPORTS. THERE ARE AER VERY FEW ROLE MODLES FOR THEM. WHEN I WAS A DINNER FOR WWE, I FELT BAD I COULD NOT GIVE MY LIFE TODAY TO A FEW PEOPLE WHO NEEDED IT. I HOPE VINCE AND HIS STAFF CAN CLEAN UP THIS ACT. WRESTING FAN NANNY

68. To the guy who said he wished it was the old days when all they did was wrestle, well, what days were that? Back in the good ol' days when they had 50 roiders getting pushed, and Hogan, who was Vince's best friend winning every match because he's Vince's best friend? O yea, and they didn't just wrestle, matter of fact, what those guys did, I can't even call wrestle, I call that flexing muscles and stumbling, the WWE today has better wrestlers who actually WRESTLE than they did back then.

Also, if WWE doesn't keep up with the other edgy tv that has slutty women and more cuthroat storylines, then it makes WWE look like a stuck in the past joke, get over it, the old days are gone, RVD and Sabu have more wrestling ability in their pinkys than Hogan does in his entire body.

69. Shit happens! Good luck & keep entertaining, RVD, and Sabu -- you've both been hurt worse than this stupid slap on the wrist!

71. ohio state cops are a bunch of fags.they knew who they stopped and as always they were just doing their job as a tax collector. the only thing state cops do any more is harras and screw the american people I think most are liberal socialist who are hunger for power trips that they are on.

72. Does anyone know where in ohio they got the pot from? was it good or not? i hope they didn't buy it from the guy who puts 1/4 basil leaves in his chronic.

73. Yeah, cuz if it was titled "ECW Anarchy: Wrestling Stars Vs The Police", only ECW fans would get the joke.

74. Its about time that someone in professional sports, public spotlight, finally did not get away with breaking the law. Good for the Ohio state trooper

75. I think it sucks they were arrested, and I agree with comment 6, it has become a joke. The women spend more time permatch holding their tit's in and trying not to show their snatch... I think it's getting old. These are the people that kids look up to.. butw hen you watch wrestling, and then see this... I'd rather find my daughter stoned and still a virgin when she's 15, than in a gangbang or makin out with another girl... thats just me though...
