This guy was by "bastard replacement dad" in the 80's. He is still alive and can think clearly, that's awesome.

[@mikes.4136]

I love Jake “The Snake” Roberts! His DDT is devastating! God Bless him.

[@bullock4211]

Jake really made Vlad work for this interview

[@thomasking4031]

Yep

[@Fuzzie_Dunlop968]

You could tell that Vlad didn't do his research well enough. That's on him.

[@Chipboykins]

lol right. Yea and no answers

[@thenazz1000]

Or maybe Vlad is a bad interviewer

[@mr.x9566]

​@@thenazz1000Definitely. A good interviewer can feign ignorance, prod or provoke to gain answers and insight.

[@justinschmidt1392]

I'm so proud of Jake. He's came along way and grown so much

[@amandameares6275]

Jake you are so loved by so many of us! Prayers lifted for Gods restoration in every area of life! God Bless you and all of your family……

[@archdawg5688]

Love this man! He was one of my favorite wrestlers! year 15 in the clinic I pray to one day find the strength he did...

[@andrewmachado6988]

Glad to see Jake sober and enjoying his life now.

[@SkinDoggyDog420]

You can tell by the colour in his face he's still drinking. 100%

[@andrewmachado6988]

@@SkinDoggyDog420 Really? How can you tell?

[@Jim_M_75]

God bless you Jake, the greatest heel of all time and the man who knew wrestling better than it knew itself. Lived the hardest of lives but still has a soft soul, I hope you have many years of peace and love to come Jake.

[@joshshepherd5734]

I love Jake and congratulations on 11 years! May will be 22 for myself, so I personally understand that struggle!! Can't wait to see what the future holds for Mr Roberts!

[@spidashaw700]

Jake the Snake deserves the world. He has all my respect. He grinded it out in wrestling for decades and am he’s still giving back

[@RandomRamblerOnYouTube]

So good to see Jake has figured it out and is using his experience to help others.. keep up the great work Jake

[@mattheweveleigh6351]

So proud of jake, all that he has been threw and how he changed his life around, awesome job jake and congratulations…

[@nattyry]

Met Jake in England at a show when I was about 11, such a nice man!

[@chrisbee487]

What year?

[@HOODIZM3]

Jake " The Snake" Roberts was a Psychological Wrestling Master, his interviews were Amazing. Savage vs Roberts feud was a Classic....Great 2 see Jake HAPPY.

[@measzie8260]

Jake actually wrestled smart. You never saw him jumping off the top or taking crazy bumps. He had a lot of demons like most. Good to see him doing well. One of the greatest. Salute Jake 🐍

[@ravinraven6913]

he was a wrestler, sure. But most the stuff today isn't wrestling. You used to get DQed if you climbed the ropes.

[@breeze529]

​@@ravinraven6913why have ropes then. Go step in the mat

[@theresawebb1968]

I loved listening to jake roberts on here this was a great interview.

[@gsxr2fst498]

Jake is so amazing. I been where he had been. It’s sooo difficult to find hope

[@actioncamera1284]

I met Jake at an indy show... I payed $20 for a picture with him, he asked me if I wanted to by a shirt, I said no, he replayed "f you then" He was also giving the middle finger for his pictures with fans.

[@amrakarmaMisophoniac]

It's a blessing to us that this man is still around.

[@dmjinc]

Everyone else shys away from the questions. Jake: 9:00

[@chrisrebar3042]

Jake doesn't have alot of words

[@AJBates7777]

Jake’s a great guy ! I met him with DDP a few years back !

[@KRaye-fe2oq]

Jake The Snake - GOD BLESS YOUR SWEET SOUL!❤❤

[@saxmanjpr5092]

In the mid 90's I had a substitute teacher in high school in the Los Angeles, Ca area named Mr. Roberts and one of my classmates said that he looked like Jake The Snake. This man told us that Jake was his brother! He also said that they grew up here in CA, not Georgia. - So I guess The Snake being from Stone Mountain GA was kayfabe.

[@MortonT1958]

Jake “The Snake” Roberts birth name is Aurelian Smith, Jr. so I think that the sub was spinning a story.

[@mgofficial5470]

He was a legendary wrestler

[@benthomas1885]

So stoked to see Jake Robert’s in a happy place. He was a great heel.

[@mox19380]

hope it wasn't a lie about his 11 years of sobriety. he looked down and lost eye contact when asked. Jake is a brilliant man who has been through and put a lot of people through hell. Hope he can have an amazing last act of his life

[@mikejejenich-pb5zx]

Jake was a great wrestler 🤼. Hes top 5 on the 🎤 mic. He barely ever screamed in his promos. 👋

[@alexeilindes7507]

"Get that piece of crap outta my ring." He Gave birth out his butt to the attitude

[@mrmaxxx94]

Jake bringing the schooling here 💯 uncut. Truth

[@CraigSmithII]

This was Vlad's best interview

[@timweb1510]

Cap

[@DouglasSalguero-qh2sd]

Im glad he still here

[@sam4soph1]

I'm not a pro wrestling fan but Jake seems like a likeable guy.

[@ravinraven6913]

so do a lot of people, many of whom are arrested decades later and you think. They were such a great person, who would have known they were murderers rapist or whatever. Should show nothing we see on TV can be construed as 100% true.

[@nonamewillbegiven1217]

Spoken like a fan

[@RedRedDaDon]

He should have asked him about Jerry Lawler "forcing " him to drink liquor during one of his matches. That had me dying laughing when I was a kid.

[@georgepapoulias3562]

That was a tasteless angle and it sucked (imo.)

[@ConstanceOhara]

Always loved Jake. He's an enigma

[@roblegend6715]

Jake is in much top 5 of the greatest of all time.

[@orbitsnoogslaghouse1188]

Excellent interview

[@rajsahota5524]

When Vlad continually asks 'yes' 'no' questions instead of open ended questions to open someone up, don't expect a great interview...

[@rogerdelillo2394]

So proud of you Jake! Dallas is doing God's work!

[@qthomas5477]

Pleeeeeeeeease get UnderTaker or Mick Foley!!!!!

[@marcbasil]

Uhh why..?

[@poppinc8145]

I doubt Undertaker would ever agree to come on. He's very corporate and Vlad is definitely not in their good graces.

[@VeronikaGama]

It’s good knowing Jake’s gonna be okay

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Jake was awesome in the ring his promos were too notch the macho man and ricky steam boat matches are priceless ...hes been to hell and back and survived clean and sober it can be done folks jake is living proff

[@sharifsalaam3385]

They ONLY wrestler who wasn't diesel at all. Absolutely no muscle 💪🏾 but u'll kick yo ass in a heartbeat. Plus his signature move The "DDT" was one of the deadliest moved in wrestling History 🎯 ❗💯

[@Fmandan77]

He did a great job pulling off his very unique character without all the roids and muscle. I do believe he's a fairly large / tall dude.

[@robertroberts2484]

Thinking he might smoke a little smoke these days 😂😂😂 good job brother!

[@AlohaKutla]

I spoke to an ex-colleague who had worked in WWE long time back after new about Vince McMahon broke. He informed me that Vince affair was an open secret and everyone knew about it. I mean his wife, daughter and son everyone were aware of it as Vince never hid it. Only surprising fact is that he is still continuing to abuse women at his age.

[@Mike-oh4ri]

Jakes a really good interview. Vlad has done some good interviews. The issue here is Vlad cleary isnt a fan and didnt do any research on this. There are a million things Vlad could ask Jake and he would have spoke for hours. Just was a bad fit

[@HANGINWITHTHEDREAMER]

Anyone who thinks this is a joke is not only disrespectful but headed for a life changing disaster. As a recovering addict for the last 35 years sober and clean I can say this addiction is the most dangerous destructive thing that could ever happen to a person. I died twice, before a light switch was turned on after the second time. Religion, 3 rehabs and watching everyone in my life either die or walk away from me nothing changed me.

[@robertpusateri2345]

Sad😢

[@ConstanceOhara]

You are here telling your story❤ thank you!

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS ROCKS ON DJVLAD !!!

[@ROGER45211]

I love Jake He's inspiring glad he's staying focused and on track!!

[@MM-ig1iv]

Thanks for flying straight Jake, i know it's not easy at first. And takes sometimes several relapses. But you're doing a hell of a Job! And you show people that it is possible. Very important. I hope your kids get with it soon.. none of have a long time on this planet. What the hell are they waiting on.. death? It's been 11 years.. i think he's got it kids!?

[@madtownangler]

Vince should have paid the money he promised the woman instead of deciding only to pay her some of it. Most guys in the world would have done it just to keep her mouth shut literally except he had to crap all over that

[@jasonelliott7977]

He’s a damn billionaire and couldn’t even pay the other two million, which would have been nothing more than a drop in the ocean for him.

[@EB-nq6xy]

Hes so cheap he was funnelling money from the wwe to pay her, he didn’t want to use his own money, thats how he got caught

[@Heywood3]

She isn't a victim if she's been getting a lot of money out of him then, that means it was an agreement, which means she was cool with it, she shouldn't of took the offer if she wants to victimise herself.

[@sm6398]

Where's Damien 🐍

[@michaeldansinghani]

The DDT meant something when he did it. Today, it’s not even a finishing move. Sad 😞

[@staceysmith5587]

Vlad please interview… 1)Teddy Long 2)Hawk from the Road Warriors 3)Haku 4)Lanny Poffo 5)Tiny Schvanie 6)Jim Ross

He's a good man is Jake. Guy had a horrible childhood. Glad he's doing well. DDP helped the guy in ways we can't imagine.

[@stevewegling8070]

​@@garethrevell5873DDP will be remembered for his in ring persona and fortitude. He will be best remembered for truly caring about people and helping anyone physically and mentally. He has changed lives all for the better and it was one on one all out of the ring. A marvelous person.

[@rajsahota5524]

Vlad has a brilliant voice, however it's always worrying when you hear the interviewer talking more than the one being interviewed. I think Vlad hasn't yet grasped the art of interviewing....

[@JoshSchneider727]

Absolute honesty? Jake had an obligation to report crimes same as any other US Citizen. And as a fellow abuse survivor, same as him, im really not ok with using the words absolute honesty. these guys covered for the boss for literally DECADES.

[@adammatthews1984]

Looks and sounds great. Love Jake

[@JoeKnowsWorst]

nice to see Vlad interview someone who isn’t a rapper or mafia informant 😂

[@JakeLang-f7j]

[@filaybull4138]

Jake the snake was good but I think the industry is a lot different nowadays then before in the 80s 90s and 2000s… They definitely take beatings and it’s a physical job but now days they’re protecting each other more than stepping on people

[@robertbrokington4717]

What does DDT stand for ? Anyone?

[@TruthBomber73]

I'm not positive, but I did hear that the first time he did it, it was accidental. He had someone in a headlock, stepped on his foot and they both fell. The crowd loved it, so he kept it. I always thought it could stand for "DIDN'T DO THAT", as in on purpose. Just a theory.

[@drewamongstus]

There’s an interview out there where they ask Jake the Snake what does DDT stand for and he says “the end. “

[@rahowherox1177]

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane... Is the only answer.

[@Heywood3]

DDT doesn't stand for anything. It was a rat posion introduced decades ago, Hence the snake, snake kills rat with posion, blah blah blah.

[@Hippiemanthc]

Wow the interviewer is not very good.

[@AdrianRPrado]

Look I love Jake and always been a fan but for him to say dont do wrestling when there's people out there that want the dream is pretty selfish due to his mistakes. Not everyone will neglect there kids, not everyone will become a drunk like you to total abuse. Jake I appreciate everything you done but not everyone will be like you.
