Snake Rattled, But Rolls Out of Rehab

Jake the Snake RobertsFormer wrestling star Jake "The Snake" Roberts (DDT anyone?) is about to get out of rehab (for the third time), but it's the first time he got help from his former employers, the WWE.

After the death of Chris Benoit, the WWE set up a rehab program for current and former employees and Jake was one of the first to take them up on it. He told CYinterview.com, "Truth be known the first time I went to rehab and the second time I went to try to save a job. This time I truly went to save my life."

Apparently Jeff Hardy didn't get the rehab memo -- the WWE announced today that Hardy was suspended for 60 days for his second violation of the company's policy.

Well, good news wrestling fans. According to WWE's wellness policy, everybody's favourite wanton-soup bomb, rainbow haired warrior may in fact be at wrestlemania. Unfortunately, it depends on whether or not the company feels he needs drug rehab therapy. Jeff Hardy may work wrestlemania.
As far as Jake Roberts rehab is going... it's a positive step when anyone tries to improve their life.

just because jeff hardy failed his drug test does not mean that he was doing steroids. He had a previous drug problem and got clean but obviously relapsed. to the best of my knowledge steroids are used to bulk up muscle, and jeff hardy isn't the biggest wrestler in the business. don't assume it is steroids just because he wrestles. it may be some other drug,

Jeff Hardy used to be one of the hottest and most talented wrestlers on the scene. Over the last few years you can see how Steroids have changed him. I cannot believe he lived in a trailer. He has been on the scene for years. Where is his money going?

i'm glad to see that he is getting help. I loved watching him back in the day. I just wish that something like this could of been done before the whole chris benoit thing. Who knows maybe it wouldn't of turned out the way that it did. For the ppl talking smack about wrestling being real well duh. That's why they call it sports entertainment. It's doesn't have to be real. Movies aren't real either but that doesn't mean that they aren't entertaining. Although wrestling ins't "real" the injuries that the wrestlers sustain and the pain that they have is all to real.

Good for him! Jeff Hardy obviously doesn't want help...........................you can't make someone get help. It is about time McMahon did something positive for these wrestlers!
