Roberts Saga Continues

(courtesy of www.wrestleview.com)

Still lots of reports making the rounds regarding the incident with Jake Roberts at an indy event in Ohio last week. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports nearly two dozen empty small bottles of vodka were found near Jake's gear. He was also spotted punching a wall and running into the street crying. Police and an ambulance were called to the show, but Roberts refused medical attention and was not arrested.

What followed was a slew of apologizes from Jakes' assistant and Jake apologizing himself in a few interviews since then. Both Jake and his assitant claim he was drugged after being handed a cold drink earlier in the night as Jake didn't remember anything until waking up the next morning. Jake admitted later he was drinking earlier, but still feels he was drugged after drinking the open container.

Jerry Mires, who worked as J-Rocc on the show, commented on the situation saying the following: "How dare Jake choose to drink 25 shots of vodka knowing he was there to perform,” wrote Mires on his web site. “How dare Jake pull his dick out in front of a truckload of kids, and how dare Jake try to say he was drugged at the show. I am outraged they would even say something like that. Jake drank himself stupid, took whatever pills or God knows what else he did, and knew what he was doing the whole time."
