5 WWE Superstars that struggled with alcohol addiction

Eddie left us early

Jake Roberts

A well-documented case

Just like most of the other superstars in this list, the struggles of Jake Roberts are pretty well known in the wrestling community. This first came into the limelight when he was fired from the company back in 1997 and matters went from bad to worse when he was featured in the Beyond the Mat documentary.

His public image took a big toll due to this and he then went on to have a lot of troubles afterwards. Jake spent a long time in prisons and rehab centers before finally turning around his fortune with the help of Diamond Dallas Page’s Yoga program. DDP’s healthy influence changed the course of Jake’s life and currently, it would be safe to say that he leads a happy life these days.
