Jake The Snake's Story May Have Saved His Life

Steven was ready to end it all before he watched a movie about someone else's struggles. Now he's turned everything around and is paying it forward each day. Wait until you see the surprise at the end.

The quote was actually "Never underestimate the power you give SOMEONE by believing in THEM"

I Watched this documentary when I was in my darkest point in my life. And these words are forever burned in my mind. Hard work pays off Dreams come true Bad times don't last But Bad guy's do

[@gogotonyyo]

Amen brother. Scott Halls speech still hits me in the chest.

[@imthebrother]

I could relate too.... watching this documentary dearly changed my life.

Tearing up hard here, but damn respect

[@sween1911a1]

I've watched this dozens of times. Every time.

[@jbasti227]

I saw the documentary recently, and it was amazing to see how Jake's life turned around, and how DDP helped play a big role in it

Aw man, are you kidding me!? I'm listening to this as I'm driving, and I gotta pull over because tears are welling up in my eyes. Just... wow!

[@jeremiah2012]

Jake is such a good communicator ........ I work PR for a company with 20 million customers and still always love the way he speaks. He is a true showman and a real human. I love this guy.

[@samanthadowner4056]

I love how positive I feel after watching a DDP video. Puts you in the right headspace, especially after a crappy day..

[@strangerinthealps5874]

God damn it. I'm sitting in a god damn office tearing up. Jake Roberts was a childhood hero of mine. Now he's a hero for the rest of my life.

[@masuganut2082]

I’m binge watching these without meaning to And I can’t stop crying I have no reason not to try ! ❤️

[@lotuskoko]

Right! I think it means you are going to encounter some big change(s) in your life. Have you?

[@kt1pl2]

Oh my god bud...I cried when I saw the before and after and then again when Jake walked in. I'm glad your okay now and that you didn't end your life.

Thank you DDP! Its because of you that Jake, Scott, this man and countless others have been able to make it back to the lives they want to be at. Thank you, you are awesome!

[@denisdemey9624]

Unbelievable!! Wow God Bless Dallas, Jake, and Scott for helping people pull through during dark times!!

[@vincentj3093]

I’m 62 , my son told me about DDPY. I got the DVD’s and it works.

[@s.a.wpixels]

WOow man ! . I pray that DDP gets all the blessings he can from GOD coz that man has saved so many. Been myself a depressed person with anxiety issues and high chronic stress due to how LIFE treats you but thankfully all these motivational videos and especially DDP's stuff has given me so much inspiration and motivation to reflect on myself and make that CHANGE to my life. Bless u DDP ... may GOD Bless u

No, I'm not crying. YOU'RE CRYING!!!!

[@montejones5584]

Man this is such and inspiration for someone like me i struggle with addiction every day and i keep fighting and praying and it is nice to see a glimmer of hope somewhere in the darkness

[@davidedwards2607]

I have watched this at least a hundred times because I can relate. To see my childhood hero go thru what he went thru and then to turn his life around and help others like this gentlemen turn his life around is so powerful. If I told I didn't cry at least once watching this I would be lying to you. Yes I have my demons that I fight daily and I've came from dark places but I will turn my life around and be the loving, caring and sober husband I should be and I need to be for my wife and for my son. I love each and everyone of you thats reading this and WE will get thru this together. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

[@Nazzlover38]

My cousin Gary is going through some tough times right now. He's thinking about ending his own life. Garry, if your watching this, I hope it helps you bro. I've been down that dark road myself and without God's help I wouldn't be here today to watch this. God Bless you DDP and you too Jake. You were one of my favorite wrestlers growing up and I so happy you stepped into the light. 'Come on, come on out of the Darkness. Come on, come on out of the night. No more, no more living in the shadows now. Step into the Light! Come on, come on no looking back now. Come on, come on run for your life. No more, no more living in the shadows now. Step into the Light!'

[@NoKapprio]

Wats goin on now bro?

[@kristimorrison6501]

How's your cousin doing now? Good I hope!

DDP you sir are a legend, been following you for a long time. Well done to all those people turning there life's around.

[@annekeel2694]

[@bullseyetag01]

To watch a short clip like this, that moves you in such a way that it beings tears to your eyes, your in the right place. Make today, your own.

[@n30nsh4d0w]

Y’all.... that brought a tear to my eye. Powerful. Beautiful.

[@AmyKrugerDKCCB]

DDP helped Jake The Snake a lot. Now you saw that story and I'm very happy toy are still with us Steve. It is hard to hit rock bottom but once you do, all you can do is live and breathe and love with everything you have. I have been there before too and at the time I thought about my like kid's and grandchildren and the thoughts left my mind. Keep your chin up sir because there is a lot of good things in life. 😉

[@Mokorisan]

Thank you so much mr. Ddp. Thank you for teaching peopla what it is to be a worthy human being. Thank you so much. Hello from Colombia.o

[@violette80]

Comgratulations Steven! You seem so kind! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AngeloBronzehand]

When that trumpet hit while he’s speaking. Just fucking punched me in the chest in a good way. It finally let out the emotions and finally let me take my first breathe of fresh air and I can finally see what I done to myself and listen to the others who been in the outside of the box and been trying to tell me things that I haven’t took in about 2 years.

[@Michael_800]

I was searching for this video specifically and didn't find it beneath all the other great stories having millions of views. But this one stayed in my mind. Glad KZbin recommended it to me.

[@rachelm2041]

I needed this today. 💕

[@2303scorpio]

Takes so much for me to reach out. This is my 3rd message on these awesome videos i keep seeing. First i saw vances story then i saw a lovely man paying tribute to his wrestling freind dusty & now i just watched ur clip. I am at that jumping of point enough is enough i am tired of being in pain. Physical mental exhaustion just wanting to die. But thank u for being here letting me watch this video. In the uk we are stiff upper lip dont show emotion. Thats why i love americans so much ur just awesome u have helped me think about what i need to do. I am gonna watch the film now about jake the snake too. Watching vances story & urs is got to my heart thank u both. X

[@mauronobili327]

Have you watched it already?

[@stormcry8202]

So, yeah. At 3:09 this funny thing started happening to my eyes, and then it hit my nose. Man, I missed The Snake, and I didn't even know it. He was the first wrestler I liked as a little kid, and I remember getting so upset when he lost a match. I was like 7-8 at the time, but man hearing his voice just takes me right back to 2nd grade all over again. I'm glad he's still around :)

[@SkoomaFish]

i've loved ddp since the 90s, and that love has only grown big ups to everyone involved

I have said this in other videos but I'll say it again. DDP is a hero and he deserves a medal of honour or something. He has saved so many lives. Two in this video and who knows how many others have been saved by watching this. God Bless you DDP

As an exercise scientist I have to say, DDP Yoga may not be the most technically advanced and sophisticated program - but man, there's some some incredible stories behind that. Kudos to Dallas. He's providing more than just a workout. It's a journey.

[@carterscustomrods]

I wish I could be like this man. I've "been there" so many times over these past 6 years. I want so badly to just have it all end. My situation is different than most others so just "deciding to change it" isn't an option. Yet it still hurts. Sometimes more physically... sometimes more emotionally. I cry a lot, and cried watching this video as well. It sucks. For some of us the option isn't there to get better. I'm just glad that so many people have gotten better with the help from others. I wish I had that. I have the greatest wife in the history of humanity, but she works so often trying to pay the bills, and get me to doctors to try to figure out what's wrong in order to keep me alive. I know that feeling of being super human. Working in the ring I learned from others what to avoid. I kept such a good grasp on my demons, yet it was the physical breakage that I never seen coming. The worst part is that I have no one to really talk to... then again, I dont really want anyone to talk to. I pushed all my friends away when I fell ill because I couldn't stand seeing that look in their eyes. I couldn't take it knowing I caused them sadness. I've wanted to die for almost 5 years now. I promised my wife I wouldn't end my life unless she allowed it. But the physical pain keeps growing and my emotional suffering seems to add to it. The painkillers help, but there are still nights where pain is so severe that I end up on bathroom floor unable to get back up, and it sends my body into shock to the point that it causes me to vomit my own feces. I'm 41 now and I lived an amazing life up until I was 35 and fell ill. I wish there were something that could help me, but I lost the use of my left arm/leg, and Ive spent every minute in bed that wasn't at a doctor over these years. I've tried to force myself better, but instead of growing stronger, it only takes more and more away from me. I'd like to think this is a cry for help from me, but the reality of it all is that help isn't in my future.I want to live... not just be "alive". Yet the universe is indifferent to our needs and sufferings. So rather than a cry for help, it's a cry for the universe to let me go. I'm so exhausted. I'm so tired of putting that burden on my wife. Yet no matter what my mind and heart wants, my body is unable to respond. Losing your body is rough.. but losing your mind... that's brutal. I feel better just typing it out, but physically I cant even type any longer. So keep helping others. I wish I could get help, and I miss hellping others myself but sometimes you just have to take the bumps that life dishes out. It is one big shitshow after all. Be kind. :)

[@gypsyhayes5954]

MrCarter'sRods I do pray that things get better for you. Don’t give up. Tell yourself that u are happy over and over again no matter what and eventually u will be. Get closer to God. Pray. And do at least one thing every day to achieve the goals u want in life. Rebuke the devil that is keeping u down. God created u for a purpose and puts us thru things for a purpose. Never give up.
