As a damn near life long wrestling fan, I found it pretty sad to see what happened this past weekend. Jake "The Snake" Roberts was at an independent show. Now, recentley Jake went through a rehab stint that was paid for by WWE. I guess it didn't work. He struggles through his "match" with some indy wrestler, who's so pissed off he just pins him as quick as possible to end this debacle. Poor Jake has a had these problems for years. I remember the Hereo's Of Wrestling Pay Per View many years ago where Jake was so messed up he pulled his pants down and showed off his OTHER snake. Yeah. Anyway, here's hoping Jake can put this behind him. He always was a real talent. Here's the video from the event, which also includes wild backstage footage.

He looks ling David Crosby before he got off drugs.
Saw that vid on TMZ so he got some exposure. Again randomly I caught The Departed the other day and thought Jack Nicholson could play Jake the Snake in a biotopic movie when he dies but I think Jake will outlive all of us. "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
