5 wrestlers who were out of shape

#4 Jake 'The Snake' Roberts

Jake with a snake of course...

A stalwart figure in wrestling in the late 80’s and 90’s Jake ‘The Snake Roberts was one of the many stars to innovate and pioneer wrestling to what we know it as today. His in-ring style was different from anyone else and the fact that he brought Damien, the python, into the ring with him only added to his mystique as a wrestler.

He gained a lot of weight and had a bad time altogether after years of drug and alcohol abuse took their toll. His body was a broken remnant of what it had been and it looked like he was heading towards a sad end.

He approached DDP and took his help and fortunately for him DDP and his innovative yoga techniques helped him to be free of his personal demons.
