Nobody injected, snorted, drank or smoked more than Jake and he's outlived like all of those other guys. It's kind of amazing.

[@Fangoman85]

yea he never mixed them with steroids

[@evilubuntu9001]

***** Yeah he didn't fuck with the 'roids too much. But the dollar amount of blow he did would rival the GDP of a small South American country.

[@higler.]

He also wasn't taking unprotected chair shots to head as often as the generation after him. Those concussions add up, and then you do a "Benoit", or an "Awesome". You fucking break down and lose it cause you head has received so much trauma practically nonstop, year round.

[@evilubuntu9001]

higler420 I could be wrong (I haven't watched rasslin in more than a decade) but I am pretty sure Benoit and Foley are the only crazy motherfuckers who actually took unprotected chair shots to the head. It couldn't have been a regular thing. WWF/E banned the Tombstone around 2000 AD and 'Taker was using a powerbomb as his finisher. So if they're banning a piledriver move, they're not expecting anybody to get chaired in the head. Unless they insist on it, like Benoit did.

[@higler.]

Foley is infamous for it from that royal rumble match with the Rock when he was handcuffed. But outside of the WWF, like in ECW, shit man, everyone was getting nailed with chairs, and WCW adopted the same when they tried to have a hardcore division. Awesome was in ECW for a good bit getting nailed with chairs, and I'm sure he had his fair share in Japan as well. If you watch matches from the mid to late 90's you might cringe at some of the chairshots to the head. It was so normal then. Unprotected chairshots to the head are banned now in WWE, but it's to late for any of the guys that wrestled before the new millennium. They really only became safe and PG because they are public now. When Vince was making millions a night with no stockholders to answer to, he didn't seem to give a damn about those chair shots. I mean, they did come up with the friggin TLC matches.

[@XxowendanxX]

@@theking-fj9nr of course. It's been a while since I read the magazine article but the point was that having a passion for something makes it easier to kick bad habits like drugs and alcohol. Most of the alcoholics and druggies I know don't have anything they are passionate about. If you develop a passion for fitness, eventually you arrive at a point where you can't pursue your passion and do as well at it if you are on drugs and or alcohol. A great passion in your life will eventually make you choose between it and the bad habit or habits. If your passion is deep enough you will choose it over the drugs, alcohol or whatever else.

Where was he time-wise with Mr. Wonderful. I assume they overlapped but I can't remember them working together.

[@jaw-knee-5]

He feuded with Mr. Wonderful right before he started the feud with Jake. This was all the very start of his WWF career when The Brain managed him. It was great to see Mr. Wonderful stare down Rick, as Rick stared down Paul before a match. Both in the ring at the same time as they were both in their own robes that had their names on the back of them. Sometimes the robes looked very similar.

[@robosborne7103]

Jake the Snake Roberts and Ravishing Rick Rude was the best WWF feud ever!! Those were the days indeed !!

[@thetragicfigure]

Rob Osborne: That was indeed a great feud with Jake and Rude, but I'll go you one better and say that Jake vs Macho Man Savage in late 1991 was even better. Jake was a heel and has Savage tied up in the ropes and lets his king cobra legit bite him on the arm. All while Savage's wife Miss Elizabeth is forced to watch. That feud was white hot. Then when they have their PPV match, Savage wins, but Jake DDTs him 3 times after the match and Elizabeth comes down to the ring to throw her body on her helpless husband and plead for Jake to stop. Then Jake grabs her up by hair and slaps her across the face. The crowd was extremely disturbed. Jake said that they had to stop the angle not long after because Liz's family was upset that it was getting too real. Go back and watch Jake vs Savage at TUESDAY IN TEXAS in November 1991. One of the best heel performances in WWF history that night by Jake. He had that crowd eating out of the palm of his hand and FRIGHTENED. I'm not surprised they didn't let the angle continue, but it would've been a HELLUVA final match between the two at the next Wrestlemania.

[@forumcelebritypodcast]

When the Road Warriors & Demolition were all asked who was the toughest out of the guys that grew up in Minnesota, ALL of them said Rick Rude. People would pick fights with Rick thinking he was a pretty boy. Some wrestlers were legitimately scared of him.

[@Whoopdido777]

Yeah that’s pretty crazy to think about. They all bounced at a bar called Gramma B’s in Minneapolis. Hawk, Animal, both members of Demolition, Rick Rude and I guess a few other guys. There’s a short interview with Smash (from Demolition) talking about this and he’s the one who said that out of all of them Rick was easily the toughest. He said He wasn’t a fighter himself. Animal wasn’t a fighter, but Rick wasn’t afraid of anything and if somebody crossed him he’d do whatever it took to win.

[@GunterJPN]

Bill Eadie, Ax from Demolition, isn’t from Minnesota. He’s from Ohio and was already well into the wrestling business as The Masked Superstar when all of the Minnesota guys were bouncing at that bar. John Nord (Nord The Barbarian) was probably the next big name to bounce there (if he did at all). Tom Zenk and Scott “Nikita Koloff” Simpson were also from the same generation as all of them.

He definitely did, because without him... she delved back into drugs with Lex Luger and ended up overdosing and dying. Savage was not a perfect person, but he was humble and self-aware - and knew the danger she was getting into... and was furious at Hulk Hogan for not helping him more with her. But it's almost impossible to save a person from herself. The documentary on Savage is A+ and worth watching, if you haven't seen it. My favorite all-time wrestler.
