The pro wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts has had a sad fall from his fame and fortune of the 1980s, with drug and legal problems plaguing him for the last two decades. Everyone who follows pro wrestling knows that, but not many people have seen anything like his meltdown at an independent wrestling show in Ohio, which includes a lot of profanity:

TMZ has another video from the same event, in which Roberts babbles incoherently while the crowd yells at him. TMZ also reports that Roberts was found passed out backstage moments before he was scheduled to perform, and that nearly two dozen empty airplane bottles of vodka were found by his gear.

Last year the WWE paid for Roberts to go through drug rehab.
