    RVD as a comedian. I’ll bet because he’s a stoner, he sees himself as George Carlin type of comedian, who has really insightful views on society and politics. I’ve seen this guy in interviews outside the ring and he is a pompous, vacuous airhead.

    King Kong Bundy in stand up comedy? All he has to do is stand up on stage and talk about wrestling Hogan, then people will laugh at him.
