Question About a Jake The Snake Roberts Moment

[stides40]

Hi guys I need to ask you experts on wrestling a question. I made this account just to ask this question. I used to have an account here years ago but I guess it's gone now. I haven't really watched wrestling since it turned to crap. Probably stopped watching after about 2005 when all the gimicks and funny names were gone and every wrestler was then known as "Barry Horowitz" (generic name). Seriously what's up with all these generic names in WWE now? No gimmicks or personas.. boring! Wrestling is fake so have fun with it! I miss seeing undertaker go to heaven and Mr. Perfect sport montages! I Still, have caught the Rumble and Wrestle-mania every year since. It pains me when I see guys like Alberto Del Rio win the Royal Rumble, since I have no idea who the fuck they are since I don't watch raw or smackdown and they just seem lame compared to SUPERSTARS of past. Seriously that gimmick battle royal they had a few years back was the best thing I've seen in the WWE in like a decade! Well, maybe I'm being a little sarcastic on that.


Anyways, enough ranting about my lost love of late 80s to attitude era wrestling, on with my question.

1. Does anyone remember when Jake The Snake Roberts had a drinking problem angle (and in real life) where somebody like, kicked his ass in the ring and forced him to drink alcohol by pouring it down his throat? I can't remember who it was but it was either Jerry the King Lawler or Stone Cold.. I think. It was during his recovering alcoholic angle so it was a real heat generator. I couldn't guess the year it happened but I'd assume it was around 15 years ago.

Does anyone remember when? what event? tv show? Just the general details of the event would be perfect or a Youtube vid even better!

Thx!

It was Lawler. I remember Jake talking about it in his DVD that he wasn't aware that Jerry was going to pour the whiskey on him or something like that. I believe the year was 1996.

def. lawler.

it was either on a raw leading to their summerslam match or at the end of the actual match.


edit: after checking wiki i was shocked (but do remember) that even though austin was coming off his KotR win and 3:16 speach he wasnt even on the main card and had a free for all match with yoko (who he beat in eerily similair fashion to how bret beat yoko at wm10)

nice booking there

Okay thanks for the information so far. I really need a video though! If I can't find the video on the internet I'll buy it. Need more details!

The turnbuckle snapped I believe.

The angle was done in poor taste. (Yes, pun intended.)

Yeah that was Jerry Lawler and he and Jake the Snake Roberts had a match at SummerSlam'96 when Lawler brought a huge bottle of whiskey to the event but yeah it was done in poor taste.
