10 Most Inspirational Joe Rogan Experience Episodes

9. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts #1205

As most wrestling fans will already be aware, the tragic tale of Jake 'The Snake' Roberts is one that is all too similar to so many former wrestlers who have turned to substance abuse after their bodies were ravaged from years of punishment in the ring.

There are certainly several moments in Roberts' storied career that most likely assumed would be the beginning of the end for the legendary talent.

Despite Rogan regularly stating that he is no great fan of pro wrestling, the chemistry between Rogan and Roberts is great throughout, and it is clear that Joe admires the former WWF star for making such radical changes to his life.

What makes Roberts' story so motivational is that he defied the expectations of many, and has not only improved his quality of life through exercise, but has also gone on to maintain his sobriety in the years since.

The episode is inspiring as it serves to reiterate the importance of consistency and dedication in self-improvement, and that getting to a better place isn't always entirely linear and can often include several setbacks and failures along the way.
