... View Morebest movie i've ever seen.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreThis documentary is fantastic even if you don't follow pro wrestling and don't know who these people are. If nothing else it serves to inspire everyone who watches to never accept "never."The saying on Jake's T-Shirt is quite a nice summary of the entire story... "My history is not my destiny."
... View MoreI have to admit, seeing the depths to which Jake 'The Snake' Roberts had fallen was truly depressing. I know it happens to a lot of pro wrestlers, with life on the road leading to addictions involving drugs and alcohol, but to see it take it's toll the way it had on Roberts was a real eye opener. You have to credit the man for stepping up and admitting his failures as a human being, to himself and his family, and finally deciding to turn things around. What surprised me most here was how inspirational a guy like Diamond Dallas Page was, and how he dealt with Roberts in a totally non-judgmental way, even when Jake kept backsliding with the booze at points along the way. With cameos by wrestlers like Ted DiBiase, Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, and Dustin Runnels, the picture provides ample proof that anyone in similar circumstances like Jake the Snake doesn't have to submit to their addictions, or curse life for dealing them a bad hand. Here's hoping Jake Roberts keeps his life on track, not only for himself but for the family and people around him that love him enough to forgive his past failures.
... View MoreThere are stories that make you upset and the there are stories that drive you to utter pain. Im only 34 years old so growing up I was a huge Jake the snake fan. You always hear stories of how the road affected these guys health back in the day, but you don't think of the impact it has later in their lives. To watch Jake from the beginning to the end of this docu it was amazing. I never would have in a million years thought he would have been in that bad of shape mentally and physically if I didn't see it with my own two eyes. Also, to see another one of my heroes Scott Hall recover the way he has made my inner 10 year old wrestling fan nearly jump through my skin. Way to go scott!! I absolutely recommend anyone who is in the process of recovering, or anyone who is just a true wrestling fan like myself to drop what you are doing and watch this flick. What Dally is doing with these guys is truly amazing. Heck, my wife and I purchased DDP yoga right after watching it!!
... View MoreAs a long time pro wrestling fan first exposed to Jake the Snake Roberts over 35 years ago, I have been a fan of his work from the Mid- South days all the way to the genesis of Austin 3:16 and beyond. Knowing how sad the endings of most pro-wrestlers' stories end, I was elated to find out that he decided to let DDP help him out at the Accountability Crib. As a DDPYoga user I can tell you first hand that just letting the DVD sit on the shelf does NOT help you. Likewise, Jake had to do the work and be honest with himself and come face to face with his demons before he could find any real healing. The documentary staff did a wonderful job in balancing the good and the bad without being exploitative.
