Long story short for those who don't want to watch the video (though you should) HTM kept offering Jake drinks and making fun of him after a show. It was Jake's first show back while sober, and he gets a little real. Glad to see him staying strong under pressure.

Wow, and HTM inadvertently started a lot of the problems with the guitar

Is it wrong that I want this to lead to a match?
In all seriousness though, I feel for Jake. I've been there actually, and had a "good friend" do the same thing. I guess to my wrestling-addled brain the natural thing then would be to cheer him on in the ring.

I want there to be a "heritage" battle royal at WM30, and I want to see Jake Roberts enter it completely sober and free of his demons.

Honky really seems like quite a scumbag from everything I've heard, I think he boasted in one of the Kayfabe Commentary timeline DVDs about getting Marty Jannetty back on the booze as well.

Honky really seems like quite a scumbag from everything I've heard, I think he boasted in one of the Kayfabe Commentary timeline DVDs about getting Marty Jannetty back on the booze as well. Not sure if we're talking about the same shoot or not, but I remember Honky Tonk Man doing a Face Off with Raven and he told a story about how Marty was on some medication that would make him real sick if he started drinking. And Honky was sitting there laughing about giving Marty booze (to be fair, Marty was the one knocking on Honky's door asking him for it, but still, he must have known better than to just give Marty alcohol) and how sick it made him that night and the next day. Honky can say all he wants that he often starts feuds or heels on guys just to keep his name out there, or to draw cheap heat. But stories like the Marty one, and now this Jake one, make me think that he's nothing but a rotten piece of shit. |

Wow. I actually met HTM a few years ago at comic con. He was nice to me, for whatever that's worth. Among other things, he signed a trading card I had of him wrestling Jake. He said he'd just talked to Jake the night before. When I asked how he was doing, HTM sadly replied "Well, you know, Jake's Jake." It's really lame of him to continue to offer Jake drinks knowing he's trying to get clean and what a mess he's been before. When my dad went through AA he stopped hanging out with his drinking buddies for these same kind of reasons. I hope Jake knows better after all these years.
