10 Superstars who never reached their full potential

#4 Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts

A wrestler who was completely ruined by the lifestyle he chose, at one point it looked like Jake ‘The Snake’ Robert might die in relative obscurity. He was far ahead of his time and was one of the chief innovators in terms of wrestling psychology in promos.

He made the DDT look like a lethal weapon and very few wrestlers since have had the attitude he brought. He held very few titles and his time with the company came to an end way too soon.

His history of substance abuse caught up with him and his health deteriorated as he was busy with his personal demons. He lost all shape, and if it were not for DDP he might have come to a sad demise. DDP, with his patented DDP Yoga, saw that Jake would return back to a healthier condition, and now at 62, he looks much healthier than he did ten years ago.

Unfortunately, it’s too late for him to get back the years he lost due to his substance abuse and he was never able to live up to the obvious potential that he had.
