Jake Roberts was an iconic figure for WWE during the late 1980s and early '90s. He may never have held the company's most coveted prize but that was simply because he had a unique character that didn't need a title to define it.

Roberts had an awful lot of demons though, some that had been with him almost his entire life. The WWE Hall of Famer hit drink and drugs and he hit them hard. By his own admission, it's a miracle that he's still with us today.

Credit for bringing Roberts back from the brink has to go to Diamond Dallas Page. DDP took Jake into his home and helped him up from rock bottom. Roberts owes Page his life and you can see the journey they took together in the documentary The Ressurection of Jake The Snake.
