Jake "The Snake" Roberts Wants to Buy TNA, Guarantees His Numbers Will Beat McMahon's

- Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who moved out of Diamond Dallas Page's Accountability Crib and is now living with his lawyer, told BlankManINC.com that he wants to use crowd-funding site Indiegogo so fans can help him purchase TNA.

He was asked about TNA going up for sale. Here's his response:

"God, it needs to. I mean, I watched for 10, 12, 15 years, however long it’s been out there and they suck. I guarantee you if I get the opportunity, in a matter of six months I’ll be pissing Vince McMahon off. My numbers will beat his, I guarantee you that."

Jake, who says he hasn't heard from WWE in regards to a Royal Rumble return, says he would rather own TNA so he can change the world and get wrestling back to what it should be - wrestling, not sports entertainment.

Because if I'm going to give money to someone to buy a multi-million dollarbusiness, it'll be to a guy who has to bum couch space with his lawyer.

I like the idea, but

A. This has no chance of happening
B. Jake is loonier than I thought if he'll have better ratings than WWE in 6 months

[DZ: WF Legacy]

...let's stick that hopeful Rumble/HOF thing, Jake.

Don't underestimate the drawing potential of having a man stick a python between his legs and pretend it's his penis.

Kizarny wants to buy TNA.

[Sephiroth]

Suddenly that joke thread I did several weeks ago about Jake going around a California desert killing condors with the DDT sounds even more plausible.

[SEAN CARLESS]

He could buy it right now if he returned his old empties for refund.

[jason1980s]

I think people would view knowing that sober Jake could have some great ideas for a promotion.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I bet TNAid could actually raise more money than Jake Roberts could at this point.

What would any of us get for our money?

When you fund a game kick starter, you get the game. would we all get shares on TNA or something?

I know reality is a new thing for Jake...but come on man

He actually just wants one of the rings to build a little shack under. The six-sided one will be divided into pieces to be distributed to those who donate. Except for people who donate under ten dollars, they get the TV title.

Surely this must be someone's idea of a strange and nonsensical joke???

[Drillbit Taylor]

Id watch it only if Jake went full Action Johnny the first night



Ranting about Grizzly Smith and then cutting over to Hogan and Sting commenting on his melt down.

[rapidfire187]

Nobody, no matter how good their ideas were, could get TNA to beat WWE in any numbers within 6 months. Hell, probably not within 6 years.

That said, I'd mark out if Jake bought the company.

[Tiger Millionaire]

Someone has to tell Jake that TNA doesn't stand for Total Nonstop Alcohol. (Too soon?)

[Push R Truth]

Who lives with their lawyer?

[Rave]

That'd be a trainwreck and a half.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Well f*** it. If Jake Roberts can do it, why the hell haven't we got a kickstarter going?!
