I highly doubt he was drugged by someone. Just seems like a stupid excuse for his actions.

I guess we all can agree that Jake "The Snake" Roberts makes Blade Braxton look like CM Punk

For those that think those "RAW reviews" that "Jake Roberts" does every week, I doubt its him.
Seems like a fraud to me.

Yeah...he was "drugged." By someone else. Who gave him an open can with a mysterious cold beverage inside. Uh-huh.
It was sad 12 years ago. Now, it's...well. It's not even that.

from Impact Wrestling I had some respect for Jake after the Rehab stint but I've lost all respect for this assclown

I met JT a few years back while I was doing a show. He was all nice to me in my face and then started talking shit about me for no reason once we had left.
So he ain't that great of a person himself.
On the Jake front, that is beyond sad.

I understand that JT might be a douche - but I think even a fine, upstanding citizen might react the same way.

Now before everyone jumps all over Jake....this bulletin was sent out today from his official MySpace page. "Jake was booked at a show this weekend in Cleveland. He went to this show, doing a live interview earlier in the morning for the promotion, that by all reports went very smoothly. His appearance at the show did not. Before I tell you what I know about what happened to him at the show, and that knowledge is very limited, I was not there, I will tell you this. Jake's behavior would normally be construed as completely unacceptible. I understand from the promoter that he spend endless time wandering back and forth to the bar. Jake took his rehab from the WWE very seriously, and has not done such a thing in months, so this behavior made me really scratch my head as to the REASON. My sincere apologies go out to JC, the over the top kind natured promoter who did nothing to deserve this, and has been nothing but kind to Jake, and by association, myself as well. My sincere apologies to the fine fans of Cleveland, you did not deserve this at all. That for this, again. Jake was given an open container of what he was told was a cold drink. That happened when he got to the venue. He remembers nothing between that time, and the time he woke up the next morning in the motel, alone, beaten, injured. I had a really fun time getting him back on the same page, by phone, to just get him to the airport to try to get back home. It was a constant string of conversation just to get him to MOVE. This is not how he behaves ever. On his worst days, Jake has always had total recall. Jake was drugged. He has been home since Saturday afternoon about 4:30PM and up until last night about 8:30PM, had not eaten or slept. His standard answer for everything the last two days has been "I don't know. " That is the other side of the story, folks, believe it or not, it is certainly your choice. I'm dealing with the guy they sent home, and folks, it is frightening to both me, and to him, and really not much fun. To the guy's that did this, and I say this often when confronted with sub-human behavior, something I see far too often I'm sorry to say, God's a funny guy. You'll get yours, I have no doubt at all. Thank you for reading. Shannon, Jake's assistant Team Snake" I dunno how true that is, but, there you go. Yeah, he was "Drugged". Drugged with ol' Jack Daniels.

First thing, why the hell would someone want to do that to him? What could they possibly expect to gain? I'm sorry, but I have just a wee bit of trouble believing this story.
And there's also the fact that he's done the exact same thing in the past. Most notably, at Heroes of Wrestling, where he did virtually the exact same thing minus exposing himself. Jake has been known for showing up for work in no condition to perform, and has even admitted threatening not to perform if a promoter didn't score him some drugs.
Sorry. Just not buying this one.

If the wellness policy detects any drugs a wrestler has used,
They however they do it, why doesn't jake and his little buddy shannon go to see the people who do it - say what they've told me and obviously others, that Jake was doing great and had no drugs or drink until then, have the test and prove what their is to be proved.
Either he's a liar, or telling the truth.
There must be tests that can show what drugs he's used in the last 48 hours, And the way this Shannon person is reacting, it would be the best for all of them.

Well, I heard his statement and the guy interview him. He doesn't sound like a lair. I like to believe that maybe it did happen. He sounds scared.

Jake's MySpace has claimed that witnesses have came forward and said that someone Jake was in the ring with that night was seen "with an envelope of powder" and they're now sure Jake was drugged and are investigating further.....

a friend of mine wrestled on the show(Sassy Stephie, if it matters) and she gave me details of the backstage stuff afterwards. It sounded horrible. Jake went guano and was punching the wall and headbutting it as well. After all of THAT, he looked around and said 'Who's next?' whilst looking at Steph. She said it was scary as hell and she got the hell out of there..
Furthermore, he had to be woken up out of an apparent deep sleep to even COME OUT to wrestle. Found strewn around him were roughly a dozen or dozens of those little ariline vodka bottles. Naught but air was in them.
Oh yeah, and there were 200 boy scouts in the crowd.
BOY SCOUTS!

Well, according to Undertaker, when Jake came back to WWE in 1996 alot of guys were pressuring Jake real hard to drink again. Guys would nag him saying that he was a wimp, and guys would give him a soda but sneak whisky in there. Undertaker told them to leave him alone and they did.

Jake himself has been interviewed and mentioned blacking out, and not even remembering going out for the match. I'm too lazy to look for it, but it's on Rajah right now. Anyway, one thing we know about Jake is he's always been honest about his personal demons. He's said in the past, "Some days I win, some days the booze/drug wins." If he did fall off the wagon, I'd think he would've admitted as much that he f***ed up. This one sounds legit, though.
