As those of you that attended the FWA show are aware, Steve Corino was unable to make Carpe Diem due to flight problems. To fill in for Corino at the last minute, the FWA brought Jake Roberts in for the show. For obvious reasons, that wasn't a popular move, but under the circumstances, and one of the show's top draws not being able to make it, the FWA obviously felt they needed to provide another big name to replace Corino.

 

Anyway, it turns out Jake's demons reared their ugly head at Brent Town Hall in the hours leading up to the show. These demons resulted in Jake Roberts being in no fit state to wrestle on the show, and his behaviour was so bad that he was throwing furniture around and threatening to stab an FWA employee.

 

With Jake in no state to continue, and posing a threat to others on the show, the decision was made to send him home. Trying to sort this terrible situation out is the reason why the show started later than scheduled.

 

It's crazy shit, but unfortunately, it's not even surprising or shocking any more.

Its sad, you know, but still, I've come to expect it from Jake. He's thrown his life away completely, and I cant help but think that he will end up dying or taking his own life because of this whole thing eventually.

Jake will go down as one of the better characters in wrestling history but the way he continually abuses drugs its hard to have any compassion for the guy the sad part is that he will continue to be booked off name recognition and never get any help

Maybe if he got his act cleaned up and & stayed clean, then maybe he could, MAYBE, but otherwise not a chance in the world.
