WWE Hall of Famer says he once failed a drug test in TNA but “there was no discipline for it”
In a video published to his YouTube channel, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley commented on what drug testing was like during his time with TNA Wrestling…
“They were [drug testing], but at the time, the old regime of TNA—not this new one, the old regime—they were testing, but they weren’t really keeping up with it, or they weren’t hammering down like WWE would hammer it down. If you use drugs, you get suspended, you get fined, then you get booted out.
I got a phone call [from TNA] that said, ‘Hey, you’ve tested positive for such and such.’
And I went, ‘So what are you telling me?’
He’s like, ‘Just don’t do it again. Goodbye.’ Click.
[You’re saying TNA drug tested you and you failed it?] “I failed it once. There was no discipline for it. I thought there would be, but there wasn’t.
Like I said, if it was WWE, they would have. But again, this was the old regime of TNA, not the current TNA that you see now on AXS TV. This was totally before Carlos [Silva] took over—way before me and the The Dudley Boyz and the The Hardy Boyz had their last table match. This was way before that.”
