When Dallas went to Jake's house and saw how poor his physical wellbeing was and how long a road he had ahead of him, it seemed like they might never get there. But in 18 months, Roberts makes so many remarkable changes that by the end of the film, he's like a different person. In one of the best scenes in the whole film, Jake talks to Dallas about Triple H calling him to thank him for doing Old School Raw but to tell Roberts that he wouldn't be in the Royal Rumble. Page is visibly disappointed for his friend and tries to remain positive but of course Jake is just playing with Dallas and informs him that HHH did tell Jake that he'd be getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. The hugs and the tears and the emotion feels one hundred per cent real and is the culmination of the hard work they both put in to get Jake reconnected with his family, his friends, his fans and, most importantly, staying clean. There's been dozens of wrestling documentaries over the years from WWE-produced ones to independent features, but The Resurrection of Jake The Snake is one of the most emotional viewing experiences a wrestling fan can ever have. It's a story of a fallen hero who is sitting around waiting for death, who is saved by his friend who desperately wants to see his life and legacy remembered in a more positive way. This is a can't-miss piece of filmmaking. Can't take my word for it? As the legendary Jake The Snake Roberts would say - Trust Me. Watch it immediately.
