<p>This week <strong>Twisted History</strong> will be covering the dark side of wrestling, and we didn't have to look far. Being a performer can be a lonely life - add getting the shit choke slammed out of you every night, travel, vices to escape, and you've got the life of a wrestler. </p><div class="hq-image"><video autoplay loop muted playsinline alt><source src="https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/union/giphy/2020/08/04/e75885cf.gif?format=mp4&profile=high&level=5.0" type="video/mp4"><source src="https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/union/giphy/2020/08/04/e75885cf.gif?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"></video><span class="image-attribution">Giphy Images.</span><div id="Article-Ad-Placeholder" data-union-ad></div></div><p></p><p>I love wrestling documentaries because they show the rarely before seen human side of some of the baddest heel characters on the planet. <em>The Resurrection of Jake The Snake (free on Tubi w/e the fuck that is, or 99 cents on iTunes)</em> features <strong>Jake The Snake</strong> (Jake Roberts) and <strong>Razor Ramon</strong> (Scott Hall) getting sober with the help of a friend and former wrestler <strong>Diamond Dallas Page</strong>. If you want an idea of what heartbreaking, real-life rock bottom looks like, this documentary is it. </p><p>At one point DDP has to pick up Jake because he is belligerent, wandering around the airport with his shoes off. It's a tough watch.</p><div class="oembed__wrapper"><div class="iframely-embed" style="max-width:550px"><div class="iframely-responsive" style="padding-bottom:100%"><a data-iframely-url="https://iframely.barstoolsports.com/J8KcRm4?_showcaption=true" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU2LOpFVCuA&utm_source=barstoolsports&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=blog&utm_term=63344_102_the-dark-side-of-wrestling-drugs-and-snakes&utm_campaign=barstoolsports_referral_blog_63344_102_the-dark-side-of-wrestling-drugs-and-snakes"></a></div></div></div><p>Fortunately for Jake and Scott, they are still here fighting their demons, others by fate or choice haven't been so lucky - which is talked about on the newest episode of <strong>Twisted History</strong>.</p><p>May Jake the Snake forever be remembered for attacking Macho Man Randy Savage with a cobra and completely shocking the world …</p><div class="oembed__wrapper"><div class="iframely-embed" style="max-width:550px"><div class="iframely-responsive" style="padding-bottom:100%"><a data-iframely-url="https://iframely.barstoolsports.com/4C6WKq6?_showcaption=true" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JVDJs7W0r0&utm_source=barstoolsports&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=blog&utm_term=63344_102_the-dark-side-of-wrestling-drugs-and-snakes&utm_campaign=barstoolsports_referral_blog_63344_102_the-dark-side-of-wrestling-drugs-and-snakes"></a></div></div></div><video autoplay loop muted playsinline alt><source src="https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/union/2020/08/04/802e8f5f67885b8b9f372104d6b46ef7.631e6dfe.gif?format=mp4&profile=high&level=5.0" type="video/mp4"><source src="https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/union/2020/08/04/802e8f5f67885b8b9f372104d6b46ef7.631e6dfe.gif?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"></video><div class="hq-image"><video autoplay loop muted playsinline alt><source src="https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/union/giphy/2020/08/04/b8e15da0.gif?format=mp4&profile=high&level=5.0" type="video/mp4"><source src="https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/union/giphy/2020/08/04/b8e15da0.gif?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"></video><span class="image-attribution">Giphy Images.</span><div id="Article-Ad-Placeholder" data-union-ad></div></div><p>Get a <u><strong>full look</strong></u> into the dark side of wrestling on the latest episode of Twisted History … </p><div class="oembed__wrapper"><div class="iframely-embed" style="max-width:550px"><div class="iframely-responsive" style="padding-bottom:100%"><a data-iframely-url="https://iframely.barstoolsports.com/MePVeQx?_showcaption=true" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/twisted-history/id1496845323?utm_source=barstoolsports&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=blog&utm_term=63344_102_the-dark-side-of-wrestling-drugs-and-snakes&utm_campaign=barstoolsports_referral_blog_63344_102_the-dark-side-of-wrestling-drugs-and-snakes"></a></div></div></div><p></p>
