DDP is wrestling's version of Dr. Drew. People see him trying to help others but only those truly tuned into what he's doing are disgusted by the exploitation aspect. I don't consider it Dr. Drew levels of exploitation. I still think DDP's doing a good thing, I just think the execution is making DDP look bad. I don't have an ethical problem with DDP posting video of Jake the Snake (or Scott Hall, should that happen) because that's been part of the deal from the beginning. Where it gets sketchy is instances like that first relapse video where they're mining for drama that isn't there. Cell phone conversation with DDP that "look out! Jake the Snake's going crazy!" when all we really see is Jake pacing slowly and looking like he's just hating himself and miserable, doesn't look like an out of control situation that they sold it to be. Maybe he was going crazy but they didn't have footage of it and that was all they could put together but there's pangs of dishonesty in the presentation that just doesn't feel right. That whole scene with DDP's friends putting their heads together and coming up with a way to approach Jake the Snake just seemed so unnatural and scripted. "We need to talk about Jake's relapse and how we're gonna tell DDP about this. But let's turn the camera on first." There's gotta be enough real shit going on there that they shouldn't have to stretch so hard.

With as many people that seem to be in the house at any given time, and with how much time, money and energy that has been invested, there should be an escort with Jake and Scott every single day except private places like bathroom and bed and even then the should be checked for paraphernalia. It will be a real shame if this all blows up in everyone's faces. I think though, that DDP is smart enough to have every thing figured out that it won't turn out for the worse.

I'm really happy that Jake's done so well under DDP, it's something of a miracle. That said, it seems that Jake needs to fill his life with things that'll keep him busy, so to not be tempted. FAR easier said than done, the guy's been through hell and back. Best of luck to him. I hope we don't see a vid of DDP kicking him out in a month's time...

My first reaction was "NO WHAT HAPPENED" and then I saw he was just moving in with his son to a place still close to DDP and I went "Awww, thank god."

For a second, I was expecting the worst when the link from that site was titled, "Sad Fall of Wrestling Superstar," followed by seeing that Jake the Snake was trending #1. You'd think most people would of been aware of Jake's recovery.

Does anyone have a clue what Jake is talking about on Twitter? He keeps mentioned something about hurting his friend 'Stacey' and he can't talk about anything else at the request of his lawyer.

Sounds like Jake's snake attacked a woman named Stacy and now he's being told not to talk about it.
