I'd love for Jake to compete in the Rumble, be inducted into the HoF, and just be one of the Legends WWE brings out every so often. Have the odd match, that kind of thing. Make the whole thing a big deal. Not anything regular, because I just know that won't end well.

His health certainly seems much improved and if he's capable he could do a tag match - maybe with DDP as his partner.

Is it wrong that I like him saying he'll be in the Rumble rather than being at Wrestlemania? It seems more realistic and less egotastic. (Plus I like the Rumble match more than WM these days...)

As a mark that grew up on Jake Roberts, DDP and Scott Hall, I beam and get goosebumps evetytime I see one of these videos. I am so happy that this has been working for them. I haunt bought a WWE PPV since WM XX. If Jake does end up in it, than Vince can have my $55

I'd mark like a bitch for the possible Jake 2014 Rumble entry.

I would love to see Jake get a backstage role of some sort. A clean Jake I think would make a hell of a writer or Agent. If someone can teach a wrestler to tell a story or cut a promo is Jake.

From WZR Online
Jake Roberts spoke with FOX Sports South about joining DDP’s accountability house and more. Check out the highlights: On what he told himself before moving in with DDP: “‘This is it. If you don’t get it done, you’re going to die’ I mean, when you want to die, you can shut yourself down to that point. There’s no doubt in my mind I could do that to myself to die. Give up.” On the 2014 Royal Rumble: “I’m announcing that right now. I’ll be in the Royal Rumble next year, count on it… I worked too hard in this business to go out that way. So I guess we’re going to have to take a victory lap. I’m definitely coming back.” DDP on Jake’s progress: “Every day, this guy is getting stronger and stronger. He’s like, ‘How is that happening?’

If you read Scott Hall's twitter, apparently he and Jake are not getting along

Someone ask Hall about Jake I'm sure it's just egos.

We do not know the whole story here. Maybe Hall was in the wrong, or maybe Jake was.
But I've met Jake. I met him once while he was sober (it only lasted an hour, but he was sober when we picked him up off the plane in Toronto) and I've dealt with him a couple times when he was pissed drunk - so bad that my last image of Jake is him walking down the hotel hallway with his pants at his ankles mumbling something about a new flight.
Anyways, the sober Jake and the drunk Jake had two things in common: douchebag
The guy was just a total jerk. To me giving him a ride from the airport to the venue and back. To the people at Tim Hortons, McDonalds and Subway. To people at the airport, people at the building. He pissed off a lot of people and most of that time he was sober.
Obviously a couple of experiences with him doesn't mean he is always like that, but I am not surprised to hear Scott Hall say what he is saying based on my own experiences with Jake.

Someone ask Hall about Jake I never thought about the fact that Hall and Jake were never in the same company at the same time, except for a few months in WWF in early 1996, but Hall was barely around during that time due to suspension.

Is he there for moral support or is his son also going through rough times?

How much had Jake been drinking before that interview was conducted? I thought he was supposed to be sober, no? He also seems to have become Leo Gallagher when nobody was looking.

I doubt that's the reason. Can't a Father spend time with his son without a pre text? If any reason were needed - it's well known Page is making a DVD out of all of this... a bith of a Father / Son touch may shift a few copies / appeal to the CRITICS~~~
