JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Following a really public battle with alcohol and drug dependency, famous wrestler Jake “The Snake” Roberts began the “Going Ringside” podcast with Cheryl Roberts. The 2 separated more than twenty years ago however just just recently returned together. Roberts has actually been extremely open about his decades-long fight with alcohol and drug dependency and has actually lastly gotten himself sober for the previous 3 years. Roberts story was detailed in Episode 13 of “Going Ringside”.
Since his sobriety Roberts has actually reconnected with Cheryl. “Sobriety is a good thing,” Roberts informed host Scott Johnson. “Back in the day I was lost and she had to do the right thing which is kick my ass out. She had kids to take care of and she didn’t want to do that. Now, 24 years later I finally get my stuff right. We’re back together.”
Cheryl Roberts briefly ended up being an on electronic camera entertainer in 1988 for the then-WWF when Jake Roberts remained in a fight with the late “Ravishing” Rick Rude. Rude’s character was that of a women man and he made overtures on electronic camera towards Cheryl Roberts. He even reached painting her image on the front of his leggings. This caused Chery Roberts slapping Rude in a fumbling angle that is still remembered today.
“So it was difficult to make that decision to divorce at the time,” said Cheryl Roberts. “It was hard to see, watch him go through what he was going through with the addictions and um, but now that he’s getting sober. Or he is sober, been sober so we’re seeing where we’re at now.”
Jake Roberts is still associated with fumbling and works backstage and as a supervisor for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) based in Jacksonville, FL.
