5 former WWE stars who turned their lives around

“Bad times don’t last, but bad guys do” – Scott Hall

#4 Jake ‘The Snake' Roberts

With the aid of DDP, Roberts has once again found a new outlook on the future

One of the most notable wrestlers of his generation was the menacing and dark Jake ‘The Snake' Roberts. His eerie promos and sinister nature were enough to make any child shudder in fear and any adult sit on the edge of their seat.

When Roberts was in WWE he could be counted on for four things; meaningful promos, meaningful matches, his snake Damien, and the DDT. After leaving WWE, Roberts spent a short time competing in WCW, but while it was brief it was meaningful as he feuded with Sting.

However, Jake had several very dark days both during his career and after it came to an end. He has often said that the only person he didn't cheat on was the ring. His countless struggles with drugs and alcohol have been well documented.

It could be easily said that Roberts' life, let alone wrestling career, was all but over. Then, just when it seemed its darkest, Diamond Dallas Page re-emerged in his life and helped him get his life back.

He didn't simply provide Roberts with the confidence needed to get his life in order but provided him with a new lease on life through the power of yoga.
