Jake Roberts has been through a lot in his life, and that includes a lot of self-destructive behavior. He is doing much better now, but there were also years when he had one tragic event and bad choice after another.

Jake Roberts recently opened up about his roller coaster of a life on The Snake Pit. This story actually involved late WWE Hall of Famer Paul Bearer.

During a Q&A session, a fan asked for a funny story about Paul Bearer. Jake Roberts then recalled a memorable incident involving the late Hall of Famer and a conversation about his wife. The WWE legend recounted how this exchange took place during their stay at a hotel with honeymoon suites in Poconos, Pennsylvania, coinciding with a wrestling show.

“I go to breakfast the next morning, and Paul Bearer comes in, ‘Jake, may I sit with you?’ [doing an impression of the late star]. Sure Paul, sit down. ‘Oh, what a horrible night.’ I’m like, ‘What’s wrong, man?’ ‘Oh, my wife. Oh my God. I don’t know what I’m going to do.’ What the f*ck, man? Y’all breaking up? What? ‘Oh, it’s worse than that, Jake.’ What, did she die?”

“No. God no. That might actually help. I’m like, ‘The f*ck, man? What’s going on?’ He’s like, ‘Last night, I went to that lovely room. I got into the heart-shaped bath tub. Laid in that. Got out. Drank some champagne. Then I kicked back on that heart-shaped bed. I look up at the f*cking mirror in the ceiling. I look at my body. My gross f*cking shapes. Couldn’t find my d*ck. I thought to myself – What f*cking woman would f*ck that? Jake, I married a sick bitch.'”

Jake Roberts is still with AEW, even though he’s not holding down an on-screen role. He is still a valuable member of the team, and he contributes in any way he can.

Now that Jake Roberts has a new focus in life, hopefully, he can look back at those sadder events with a new form of clarity. It would also be an added bonus if he inspires anyone else along the way.
