Wrestling stars busted in Hanging Rock


By Kirsten Stanley/The Ironton Tribune

HANGING ROCK — Two wrestling superstars from Extreme Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment may be tough in the ring, but they didn’t have enough muscle to escape drug charges after being stopped Sunday night by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Robert Alex Szatowski, aka WWE and ECW champion Rob Van Dam, and Terry Michael Brunk, aka Sabu, also a former ECW champion, were pulled over on U.S. 52, near Patrick Street in Hanging Rock at about 10:15 p.m. The two were apparently driving from their performances at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena earlier in the evening.

According to the OSHP, Szatowski was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found the wrestler in possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills. Brunk was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled substances, according to the OSHP. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene.

Szatowski, of Battle Creek, Mich., has had a long, successful career with both the WWE and ECW. In addition to being the current champion of both, he has been intercontinental champion six times, hardcore champion four times and has been a part of several championship tag team duos. 

He is scheduled to wrestle tonight on WWE Raw and is also wrestling Tuesday night to retain his WWE and ECW titles during the “Extreme Rules Match” on the Sci-Fi channel.

Brunk, who lists his hometown as Bombay, India, on the WWE Web site, has also had a successful career with the ECW, earning world heavyweight championship titles two times and tag team championship honors three times.

Both Brunk and Szatowski are scheduled to appear at 10 a.m. Thursday in Ironton Municipal Court. Both wrestlers won their matches last night in Huntington, W.Va. Van Dam defeated the Big Show and Sabu defeated Justin Credible.

So RVD whines about not getting to main event for years and then when he gets the ball he goes and embarasses the company.

Awesome...

well, in all fairness I'm sure they aren't the only two in the company on drugs. They just happen to get caught.

As for the road where they were busted, Mike Goins sent this one. ... I know the place that RVD and Sabu were arrested very well. It is well known among the people who live in the Tri-State area of West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky that the Hanging Rock area on US 52 is a speed trap. The local village police and the Ohio Highway Patrol patrol that area heavily since it is a four-lane link from Interstate 64 in Huntington and Ashland to US 23 north to Columbus.  Another reason police patrol that stretch of road heavily is that for years it has served as a drug pipeline from Detroit into West Virginia.  What puzzles me is that if RVD and Sabu were heading to Philly from Huntington, they should have headed east on I-64 toward Charleston then up I-79 to Pittsburgh and the turnpike. They were heading in the wrong direction going through Hanging Rock which is due west of Huntington.

Has he never been caught before? It seems like there was a minor incident in the past, something similar - but i could just be thinking of something else.

If he's been caught in the past, it hasn't been while working for Vincent Kennedy McMahon. I doubt Paul Heyman would've given two shits if RVD was busted while working for the old ECW.

OK - there we go. That's what I was thinking.
