#3 Bonded with Jake Roberts over alcohols and strip clubs

The Undertaker nearly poisoned himself when he travelled with Jake "the Snake" Roberts

From our initial story, you might have guessed that the Undertaker had a great fondness towards strip clubs and alcohols in his initial days. But, the bigger question is how did he ever got involved in it.

Well, the answer is Jake "The Snake" Roberts. The Undertaker approached him as he had a good knowledge of strip clubs. Jake Roberts shared every detail of it, and it proved to be a little costly for the Deadman. Here is the excerpt of the interview with WrestleZone:

‘Hey, I hear you know where all the good strip joints are at…’ And I’m like, ‘In the world? Yes. I know them all.’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I’ll travel with you!’ I said, ‘Oh boy, why don’t you go back to playin’ basketball because you’re not gonna be able to hang with me…I’ll kill ya…’ And a few weeks later, he was in pretty bad shape with alcohol poisoning. (Laughs) Yeah, but it was a ‘chemical’ world, so I was cheating, man. He didn’t know it. I wasn’t gonna tell him!
