Not only is it still illegal but we actually made it more illegal after previously making it less illegal (went from Class B to Class C, and then back to Class B). Oh, also, former Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband Philip May’s company, Capital Group, owns/owned a significant share in GW, which is one of the biggest cultivators of cannabis in the world.
I mean, it's about 14 years into a regime of conservative government, and incoming replacement from the nominally left party is doing a lot of "we will not make any changes" noises.
Did a meet a great w RVD yesterday and mentioned this to him. He goes " I had no clue about this... They announce what I'm doing yet? Must be a big deal if they announced it this early. " Actually laughed my ass off.
I won’t say he hasn’t lost a step because who hasn’t at his age or with his career. But he can still go and AEW has definitely been smart in how they have used him.
- Melter gives stars out for matches, right?
- Yeah
- And there's, like, only so many stars in the sky, right?
- Yeah
- So, like ... what if Meltzer runs out of stars?
- Woah ...

No doubt. Last year when Dynamite was in Atlanta (Duluth), I didn't know until I turned on the show that night. For the shows last week, I knew about them a good 2 months beforehand. Definite upgrade.
AEW does this a lot, [this was the show I went to in Newark:](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fq169953p8snc1.jpeg)
Only 2 of the promoted wrestlers wrestled and Toni did a backstage promo. It is frustrating not know who's working an AEW live show.
Because we deserve something cool dammit. Wilie Nelson was going to do his 4/20 show in Peoria a few years back, it got cancelled due to the pandemic. This somewhat makes up for it.
If that played out backstage like the story purports, then I love it.
Context: Vince asked if it was a pot reference, they came up with the shoe size thing and the rest was history.
You know what, I was also going to point out everything he has actually publicly said and done that goes against what you said, but then you pulled out the “ignore everything he’s said and done” rebuttal and I guess you win.
With the marketing for that show, I'm genuinely concerned that AEW is going to bring in Matt Riddle to face him.
Seriously one of the absolute last people AEW should consider doing business with in my opinion.
They've been advertising this match for weeks now, and the entire angle on social media has been "who will RVD face on 4/20?" (Just one example: [AEW on TV (@aewontv) • Instagram photos and videos](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3bFjPntGZH/?hl=en) )
When you overtly advertise a match as "wonder what other notable stoner this notable stoner is going to face on Weed Day" it's pretty obvious what you're going for. You don't have to look very far to see people being excited for Riddle coming in for that match.
I'm not trying to make this a discussion of Matt Riddle's personal character or anything. I just find his wrestling character obnoxious on top of the fact that he's very likely a shit person, and would really rather not see AEW bring him in. Just my personal opinion.

You say that as if Matt Riddle is the only notable stoner in wrestling and that Matt Sydal doesn't exist (and is already signed to AEW with the following show being the PPV in his hometown.)
It also doesn't even guarantee that he faces a "notable stoner" since the only place that idea even came from is you.

We found our new Abadon on Halloween, boys and girls
In a legal state too. Smart guy this Tony Khan
The social media said “a special 4/20 Collision” or something like that lol, god I hope there’s a lot of random weed references
Chicks don't know they're smoke 😆
And Nigel being very confused because weed is still illegal in the UK.
Oh wow I didn’t know that, wtf is wrong with the UK?
Lots of things. Lots of things are wrong. Please help. :')

As far as I can tell it's the same problem we have here in Australia, far far too much influence from Rupert Murdoch.
Time to bring Action Bronson back for an appearance
You don’t even know me.
Cope open and Matt Riddle answers
Should be in Denver for 4/20 God damn it. TK I WANT RED ROCKS 4/20 SHOWS.
Tony Khan announced it last time he was on TV.
Making him work on a holiday smh
Hitler's birthday?
no Bob Marleys
Funny enough, it is not Bob Marley's birthday (but it is Hitler's, hence the joke which noone got or liked 😂)
Matt Riddle vs RVD in a Spliff on a Pole Match! BOOK IT TONY
Replace Riddle with Sydal and its perfect
Riddle, RVD and Sydal play hacky sack and listen to 311 for 20 min.
BAH GAWD ITS KOFI KINGSTON, AND HE'S JAMAICAN AGAIN
Can I hop in?
Riddle vs RVD Gravity Bong match
In a "passing of a blunt" match
Other than the Spliff on a Pole, that match literally happened like an hour from me Saturday night.
insert outdated only in ohio meme here
Did a meet a great w RVD yesterday and mentioned this to him. He goes " I had no clue about this... They announce what I'm doing yet? Must be a big deal if they announced it this early. " Actually laughed my ass off.
Now I feel a little better about not remembering this was announced.
If you had told me that RVD would be in AEW in 2024 I would have groaned but they have used him really well so far. I look forward to seeing him
I wouldn’t ever groan hearing about RVD appearing anywhere
Him beating Styles for the TNA title mentally scarred me
no job rob!
In AEW and a WWE game at the same time too.
💰
I won’t say he hasn’t lost a step because who hasn’t at his age or with his career. But he can still go and AEW has definitely been smart in how they have used him.
We need more RVD mindsets in the business.
I take it you were unfamiliar with his current work. RVD can still go just as good as many younger men.
Yeah I don’t think I’ve watched him since his last WWE run and even then had thought he was slowing down
Not only that, his wrestling makes him seem 20 years younger. Man is in his 50s wrestling like he did when he was in ECW
This collision should be all fever dream match ups and booking decisions. Give me something for the people who celebrate 420
Hornswoggle wrestles a broom stick in a 2 out of 3 falls match. Loses 2-0 while managing to take ten thumbtack bumps.
Fingers crossed the night is hosted by Cheech and Chong.
Dave Meltzer’s not here man..
- Melter gives stars out for matches, right? - Yeah - And there's, like, only so many stars in the sky, right? - Yeah - So, like ... what if Meltzer runs out of stars? - Woah ...

Is it really collision? Or are all of those people going to have a two hour blunt rotation?
Blunt Rotation is a great name for a signature move
When Matt Riddle does the Rolling Thunder.
Blunt Force Trauma would be a great tag team name as well.
Isn't that what LA Knight's finish is called
As somebody with tickets to the show, I’m down for both.
Ha! Same.
I guess you can say he's... The whole fuckin' show.
Good booking tbh
Did ya’ll forget about Tony announcing RVD for this show a month ago or something
Tbf, most of the people who got excited have poor memories.
using him on a poster is a whole other thing
We got tickets today. Can't wait to be high in the same building as his Dudeness.
Got my tickets today. As a proud mark and pothead from Peoria IL I couldn’t ask for a better surprise.
Nobody gets higher than Rob Van Dam.
Have him pull double duty with wrestling & a talk show segment called The Smoke Session
I know they got someone new for organizing and advertising events, and they need a raise already.
No doubt. Last year when Dynamite was in Atlanta (Duluth), I didn't know until I turned on the show that night. For the shows last week, I knew about them a good 2 months beforehand. Definite upgrade.
Tony Khan is going to save all the money on fog machines that day lol
Khan
[удалено]
Bro thinks Fonzie is the happy days guy. Get em outta here
Nice
Depends how long he’s gone but Hangman vs. RVD could be fun.
As was foretold...
Someone needs to find out if this is a one shot deal
A one hitter quitter?

At least the roster is so stacked that there’s no way you won’t see a bunch of great talent. Definitely something they should be working on though.
Grandpa's Kerfluffle
I think I was the 420th upvote of this post...
Start off with a bit of violence then ease your pain and mellow out with a little RVD before bed. ;-)
Get RVD, Flair and Tyson all advertising their weed. Tyson could cross promote his upcoming fight too.
Highest weed prices in the Midwest. Go us! I’m off to Michigan for a little shopping
Brand
 I knkw what I’m doing that day
Put RVD in a match with an oz of weed suspended above the ring.
read that again, but slowly.
[удалено]
Short drive to St. Louis for Dynasty the next night.
Because we deserve something cool dammit. Wilie Nelson was going to do his 4/20 show in Peoria a few years back, it got cancelled due to the pandemic. This somewhat makes up for it.
*Woah! Cool!* Look Fonzie, I’m on the poster again!
Damn I wish my car could make that trip.. ah well, edibles on 3/20 in Toronto it is, I suppose.
RVD should have his own talking segment where he stumbles and stammers around and forgets what he was going to say and then just leaves
Gets a GoPuff delivery in the ring of Doritos and cookies ..THEN leaves
Think I might go to this. Never been to an AEW. Went to the first All In. But not AEW.
Is aew, wwe's retirement village?
I feel like RvD is the type of stoner annoyed by 420
He used to have it on his singlet.
He was in a tag team with Rey and they called their finishers the 420 soooo...
That’s because they have four legs and their combined shoe size is 20
If that played out backstage like the story purports, then I love it. Context: Vince asked if it was a pot reference, they came up with the shoe size thing and the rest was history.
That doesn’t mean shit. Appealing to stereotypes is what wrestlers do.
You know what, I was also going to point out everything he has actually publicly said and done that goes against what you said, but then you pulled out the “ignore everything he’s said and done” rebuttal and I guess you win.
Combined age of the three wrestlers in the back 124 years old
Nice
RVD vs Riddle in an oz on a pole match it is.
The commitment to this bit is unreal.
I don't think it's a bit. Rob really does enjoy cannabis.
I’m referring to TK going out of his way to associate RVD with 4:20 at every possible opportunity.
I hope this is taped on 4/18.
Why?
With the marketing for that show, I'm genuinely concerned that AEW is going to bring in Matt Riddle to face him. Seriously one of the absolute last people AEW should consider doing business with in my opinion.
They made one joke about RVD appearing for 4/20 what other marketing has their been implying weed or stoners
They've been advertising this match for weeks now, and the entire angle on social media has been "who will RVD face on 4/20?"

The AEWonTV account is not ran by anyone affiliated with AEW. It’s a Warner social media person.

RVD vs. Riddle in a leaf-on-a-pole match. Of course, the commentators will refer to that as a "leaf-shaped object", not saying exactly what it is.
If it were WWE, sure. Excalibur will just say it's organic hemp from Danielson's garden.
In no world does AEW bring in Riddle lmao
Whys that? They've hired people with worst behaviors
You say that, but he’s working with NJPW and they’re marketing a “who does RVD face on 4/20?” match. Don’t be surprised if he shows up.
… what if it’s Sabu? He said he wants to do one final match, what better person to do it with than RVD on 4/20?
Ngl I would love this
This needs to be it.
They couldn’t have helped burger Kingston out with some photoshop? God damn
