We always hear about stories of 80s wrestlers being scumbags and all, but has there ever been any bad stories about Randy Savage, Jake the Snake or Piper? I always hear positive things about them

There are many about Jake.
One I was told was when Jake came into NWA Battlezone,the MS NWA Fed,years ago. This was before Jake was trying to get clean.
He showed up 15 minutes before the show started. Was messed up on something. Sat down in a chair passed out,and pissed his pants. They barely got him awake in time for the main event. Jake was suppose to do 20 minutes. After 3 minutes he tells the ref "I am tired we are going home now." Hit a sloppy DDT pinned the guy and walked to the back.

I always hear positive things about them Wrestling in the UK Jake had to flee the country because he'd mistreated his snake. Jake had starved it so much the authorities had to destroy it..

Well maybe more so Savage and Piper. I know Jake use to be a mess but I didn’t hear too much about him being an asshole like Hogan, Warrior, Scott Hall ect

Bret has a story about Jake in his book, when he supposedly had a knee injury and was staying at the Hart’s house while everyone was on the road, Bret comes back early and finds Jake walking around like nothing was wrong. He was either faking or exaggerating his injury, and since he was one of their top draws at the time, it cost Stampede a lot of business.
For Savage, I’d say his general treatment of Elizabeth, and paranoia around other men with her. I never heard that he abused her physically but the way he controlled her wasn’t okay either.

Jake trashed a locker room and got a rat to give him a felatio in front of the boys, the promoter went to confront him later but Jake just pissed in a bottle and drank it, telling the promoter that he respected him and that’s why he drank his own piss.
He also gave the snake beer.
Also back in his preaching days, he spent the money on hookers and drugs.

There are 1000s of them for Jake until recently he got himself cleaned up. Savage only when it came to how he treated Elizabeth and a few wrestler that didn't get along with him. Piper has his share of issues with other wrestlers but was more liked than hated, and crazy stories in the 80s. Fans hated him as a heel so much the stabbed him. Once the days of fans meeting wrestlers came more a thing, Piper is known to be one of the friendliest guys around.

Don't know if you could specifically count it as a bad story, but there's the time Savage got into a fight at the Waffle House... (language warning, it's a Jim Cornette video)

It's kind of crazy that Jake is the one still standing but I think he understands the many "second chances" he's got and is using them to better his life and those he meets. You can tell the difference based on his twitter and fan stories in more recent years than from 10-15 years ago. Even though he was messed up pretty bad at most of the shows, he at least showed up. I didn't hear too many stories of him "no showing" for indy events. I think he probably went through with the bookings probably knowing it would be easier to score drugs and booze from the environment, maybe even using the indy wrestlers to his advantage.

By the standards of the disgusting 80s wrestling culture I think Savage and Piper were pretty decent.

Jake Roberts did the worst thing a man could ever do.
He called football ‘soccer’

Worst I have heard about Piper is he loved him some coke in the 80s.
There is always the story HTM tells about how Piper got shocked by something and claimed for weeks,maybe months,that he still had electricity running thru his body.

Jake also delivered us classics in beyond the mat and heroes of wrestling.

He also gave the snake beer. Also back in his preaching days, he spent the money on hookers and drugs. Snake was telling Foley about his preaching. Foley: You must really get a lot out of that. Jake: Bro, $1500 a shot plus gimmicks. Foley in his book: Guess Jake and I have different ideas of “getting a lot out of it”.

King Kong Bundy in a shoot once said Randy was caught shoplifting back in his ICW days.
Anyone here know anything about that?

Randy wanted to make the people believe he was crazy so he started stealing food planning on getting caught. Savage wanted to make the newspaper.
