1: Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts
Trending
Jake Roberts was one of the biggest stars in wrestling in the 90s but his demons got the better of his career just as it was reaching its peak. Accompanied by his pet snake Damien and his chilling personality, Jake was one of the top heels in 90s wrestling.
Jake could have easily been a main-eventer in the WWE but his addiction to alcohol and drugs stopped WWE management from pushing him to the very top. After leaving the WWE due to his issues, Jake appeared at intoxicated at several independent wrestling shows and his substance abuse eventually saw him get separated from his family.

WWE tried sending Jake to rehab but he just kept falling off the wagon until his old friend Diamond Dallas Page eventually took him in and helped him get sober – as seen in the documentary “The Resurrection of Jake the Snake”.
Jake suffered one of the most famous downward spirals in wrestling but unlike some, he’s healthy and sober today. His career may not have reached the heights it was capable of but at least Jake is alive and healthy today.
