12 Wrestlers Who Competed Under The Influence

12. Jake Roberts

An infamous performance from an infamous industry addict, Jake Roberts' Heroes Of Wrestling turn was a darkly amusing but devastating glimpse into the life 'The Snake' was confined to before he finally defeated his demons.

Ostracised from all major organisations for his spiralling drink and drug addictions by 1999, Roberts was still a huge name for the bizarre supershow in Las Vegas, but was in no fit state to even cut a promo, let alone get walked through the planned singles match that had to follow his less-than-wise words.

Not long before Beyond The Mat laid bare the extent of the damage he was doing to himself, the WWE icon exposed himself in more ways than one - he was fortunate at least that show was poorly bought and attended.

Almost serving as a broken tribute act to himself, Jake catastrophically blew his gambling analogy, before taking to the ring and pretending to masturbate with his snake before his bout was turned into a tag match just to ensure everybody got through it unharmed.
