This past Friday night (4/6) at a OVW house show in Owensboro, Kentucky, Atlas Dabone, Victoria Crawford & Jake Hager showed up in no condition to work. Allegedly, all three were stoned out of their minds and reeked of marijuana.

According to DOI sources, the trio was immediately reprimanded by Idol Stevens.

Crawford, Dabone & Hager agreed that what they did was disrespectful to the locker room and to OVW as a whole. The three are still green (no pun intended) to the business. The three are also known as non-wrestling fans and were recruited by WWE scouts through schools and magazines.

Several OVW wrestlers contacted the DOI about this story, as it seems the trio aren't very well received by fellow OVW talent. One wrestler wrote in to say that Jake Hager doesn't understand the business and the only reason he is pushed is because Jim Ross & Johnny Ace are high on him. Hager was an amateur wrestler out of Oklahoma, which would explain why Ross & Ace would be a fan of his.

Victoria Crawford, who is in her early twenties, signed with the WWE during the same time Kelly Kelly was signed. Victoria is not a fan of the business and was recruited based on her magazine pictures.

Atlas Dabone was signed one month ago and has "the look".

There is no word if the three will be punished, or if the verbal lashing Stevens gave them was enough. This all follows the heels of Rene Dupree getting sent to rehab for a substance problem, and the recent Joey Mercury firing, which was also drug related.
