NEW YORK, NY, Sep 22, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) — Wrestling legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts was apparently drugged while working an independent wrestling show in Cleveland, Ohio on September 12th.

Prior to the show, Roberts had been offered a drink. As a recovering alcoholic he should not have accepted it. But the ramifications turned out to be far worse than potentially falling off of the wagon. Jake — who has always been candid with the public about the ups and downs of his life — seemingly accepted a drink that was drugged.

Roberts went on to wrestle in the promotion he was scheduled for. The video, ended up all over the Internet. His behavior did not appear to be that of someone who had one too many drinks. Instead, he appeared to be in an altered state that could best be described as incoherent.

The next morning Roberts awoke in his hotel room, with no recollection of participating in a wrestling match the previous night. Now, ten days after the event, his memory continues to be fuzzy and he is slowly getting back to himself.
“I have never been so frightened in my life. As a person who has struggled with alcoholism, I know what it is to have had one too many. This was something totally different. It is as if I am coming out of amnesia.”

Jake “The Snake” Roberts is a beloved, legendary figure in the wrestling world. Few wrestlers, past or present, command the attention and respect that he does. This incident should be a wake up call to all people that, “If it could happen to Jake, it could happen to you.”

Yearly, numerous people have illicit substances slipped into their drinks making them completely vulnerable to victimization. If a tough, 6′5″, 265 lbs veteran wrestler could be slipped a drugged drink than it could happen to anyone.

There is potential speculation that with the state of the economy as it is, an unscrupulous individual could have sought to make Jake look bad and in so doing possibly raise his or her stature in the wrestling world.

“This has been a terrifying experience. I do not want anyone else to have to go through this kind of thing,” he said.

Jake engaged in self-reflection.

TMZ has footage that shows Jake “The Snake” Robert’s much talked about self-destruction over the weekend. The footage shows a drunk and incoherent Roberts stumbling in the ring.

Jake has had a long and difficult history with substance abuse and by all reports had been making a serious effort to stay clean. Now, add claims by Shannon, Jake’s assistant, which alleges that Jake had been drugged prior to the incident.

From Shannon, Jake “The Snake” Roberts’ assistant, in response to the incident that was captured on video this past weekend:

Jake was booked at a show this weekend in Cleveland. He went to this show, doing a live interview earlier in the morning for the promotion, that by all reports went very smoothly. His appearance at the show did not.

Before I tell you what I know about what happened to him at the show, and that knowledge is very limited, I was not there, I will tell you this. Jake’s behavior would normally be construed as completely unacceptible. I understand from the promoter that he spend endless time wandering back and forth to the bar. Jake took his rehab from the WWE very seriously, and has not done such a thing in months, so this behavior made me really scratch my head as to the REASON. My sincere apologies go out to JC, the over the top kind natured promoter who did nothing to deserve this, and has been nothing but kind to Jake, and by association, myself as well. My sincere apologies to the fine fans of Cleveland, you did not deserve this at all.

That for this, again. Jake was given an open container of what he was told was a cold drink. That happened when he got to the venue. He remembers nothing between that time, and the time he woke up the next morning in the motel, alone, beaten, injured. I had a really fun time getting him back on the same page, by phone, to just get him to the airport to try to get back home. It was a constant string of conversation just to get him to MOVE. This is not how he behaves ever. On his worst days, Jake has always had total recall.

Jake was drugged. He has been home since Saturday afternoon about 4:30PM and up until last night about 8:30PM, had not eaten or slept. His standard answer for everything the last two days has been “I don’t know.”

That is the other side of the story, folks, believe it or not, it is certainly your choice. I’m dealing with the guy they sent home, and folks, it is frightening to both me, and to him, and really not much fun. To the guy’s that did this, and I say this often when confronted with sub-human behavior, something I see far too often I’m sorry to say, God’s a funny guy. You’ll get yours, I have no doubt at all.

Thank you for reading.
