Rob Van Dam Recalls Vince McMahon’s Reaction To 2006 Drug Arrest

Rob Van Dam and Sabu bid farewell to their respective WWE careers following a 2006 arrest on drug possession charges.

On the latest episode of his “1 Of a Kind” podcast, RVD recalled Vince McMahon’s reaction to the shocking news at the time.

RVD and Sabu were pulled over for speeding in July 2006, and the police found marijuana, Vicodin, and Testolactone in their vehicle.

The incident led to a suspension for RVD and his forfeiting of the WWE Championship.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On seeing McMahon after the arrest: “Vince was one of the first people that I remember walking by when we got to the building and of course, I was wondering how Vince was going to feel about this. He was walking towards us, me and Sabu, and I was kind of like, ‘Hey Vince,’ and he just walked right by, his energy was like, ‘Not now, not a good time.’ He walked by and I was like, ‘He needs some time.’”

On McMahon telling him he was suspended: “Because I had the championship, that’s what made the difference and everyone already knew when we got to the building. We found that out very soon. He did and then later on when he came up to me and talked to his advisors and made a plan or whatever he was like, ‘Rob, you’re going to be suspended for 30 days. Now I want you to take those 30 days and get some rest,’ he couldn’t have been cooler.”
