Matt Riddle is famous for his weed jokes all over WWE. It has come as a shock to many as they know something like this would not fly a decade ago due to WWE’s strict policy on narcotics. Recently a WWE Hall of Famer came to appreciate the relaxed attitude of WWE around marijuana.
Former Smackdown General Manager and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently discussed the differences between this current era and his time with the company with Wrestling Inc. Senior News Editor Nick Hausman .
“Just to show you that the times have changed, man, because I knew a time that you couldn’t get on TV and make no weed jokes. You couldn’t be talking about that at all because, especially in professional wrestling, God d**n, man, they’d be, ‘This is wrestling. What the hell are you doing?’ But I’m glad to see that people have changed with the times. [Riddle] is extremely funny. I love the weed jokes.”

Recent episodes of “Raw” have featured Riddle asking stars like WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Usos if they “want to hit the bong.” Time will tell how much longer Riddle will be making these jokes on a weekly basis.
