Snake Rattled, But Rolls Out of Rehab

Posted Mar 11th 2008 11:53AM by TMZ Staff

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.

3. 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!

10. First off, you should've shown a picture of Jeff Hardy. He is pretty small. I highly doubt he is doing steroids. My opinion is that he is probably toking weed. Which should be legal anyway!!!

13. Those were the days of wrestling. I loved watching WWF and its cartoon.
My favorites were Jake the Snake, Million $ Man, Macho Man and Ms. Elizabeth, Brutus the Barber, Rowdy Roddy Piper, etc.

14. Dang

Hardy F'd up the best push he ever had. He had to drop the title clean and he'll have to job for years to get back to where he was.

15. Wait.......I thought this guy DIED about 10 years ago??? Has Vince McMahon had Jake the Snake frozen (ala' Walt Disney) waiting on a time to unfreeze him and save lame-o pro wrestling?
