#6 Jake “The Snake” Roberts

“The Snake” wasted his immense potential due to alcohol addiction

Jake and his snake Damien are a part of the WWE folklore. He was the master of the DDT and was known for his powerful and clever promos. However, his career spiraled downwards when he let drugs and alcohol rule his life in the 90’s.

His career serves as a great example of how you should not let your demons affect your career to a point that you become an embarrassment to yourself. Roberts’ subsequent fall from the top, tarnishing his own legacy is only too well known.

WWE even got him into a rehab in 2007 so that he could get rid of his drug and alcohol addiction. In 2012, Diamond Dallas Page got him to move in and helped him stay sober through DDP yoga. Though in a better phase now, The Snake wasted the huge potential he had.
