Jake The Snake Roberts Moves In With DDP

[Mick Donalds]

Typical Jake Roberts. Show up, get paid by idiot promoter, drink all afternoon, and take one of three courses of action:

A) Go back to hotel with hooker, smoke crack and pass out, letting down fans
B) Cut incoherent promo, pass out in middle of the ring, letting down fans
C) Get in ring with resident indy "enforcer", proceed to get the ever living shit kicked out you, letting down fans

 

[Troy]

This guy has had way too many chances already, admirable of DDP to try to help him get healthier but any promoter that books him shouldn't be surprised when he appears in no condition to perform. Promoters should have stopped trying to book him a decade ago.

 

[Deezy]

People sure like to kick em when they are down here.

How many chances can you give someone? In the end they are the ones that need to break the cycle and he has been given dozens of opportunities to do that but never does.

Am in full agreement here with you Troy. Not saying it is easy when you are a addict, but if you think it is really worth fighting for then you can do it. Roberts has a daughter after all, surely she is worth over coming it for. The Handys have proven in the last year what you can do.

I remember seeing the rocky relationship they had in Beyond The Mat. It was strained then and he was trying to work through it, that was back in 1999! Thirteen years later and he is still a mess.

Yeah but Jake claimed in a shoot interview that BTM mis-represented the relationship with his daughter, not saying I believe him but you have to take that into account. From what I hear he was very open about his drug addiction in that film.
