About the DVD
Explore the life and career of former brawler Jake "The Snake" Roberts in this revealing look at the man who struck fear into the hearts of the greatest wrestlers of his generation. When "The Snake" came out, trouble was sure to follow, and in addition to fighting such fierce opponents as Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior in the ring, his personal battles have never been revealed in such detail until the release of this insightful documentary. From family tragedy to drug addiction, this release covers both the highlights and the lowlights of one of wrestling's premier fighters. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
