Jake the Snake

…and you thought wrestling was fake?


Better known for its choreographed fight sequences, professional wrestling got piledrived with a dose of reality this month when veteran entertainer Jake “The Snake” Roberts showed up too drunk to perform. And if you thought wrestling was fake, just take a look at the press release from the aptly named Tactical Public Relations, Inc. describing the incident as a covert and malicious drugging.

Prior to the show, Roberts had been offered a drink. As a recovering alcoholic he should not have accepted it. But the ramifications turned out to be far worse than potentially falling off of the wagon. Jake -- who has always been candid with the public about the ups and downs of his life -- seemingly accepted a drink that was drugged… His behavior did not appear to be that of someone who had one too many drinks. Instead, he appeared to be in an altered state that could best be described as incoherent. ~ Marketwatch.com
