If it wasn't for his drug problem, do you think Jake Roberts could've been bigger than what he was?

Question

Even though he was great...could he have still been a bigger star?

Answer 1

DEFINATLY HE HAD CONTROL OVER THE CROWD HE HAD THE MINDSET OF GETTING HEAT AND MAKING A MATCH DRAMATIC DOWN BUT HE COULD NOT STAY PHYSICALLY TOGETHER TO GET THE BIG PUSH

Answer 2

maybe

Answer 3

i honstly think he could have been if he just fought the demons

Answer 4

Definitely as Jake Roberts was starting to make a name for himself in WWF and get established just as his well publicized "personal issues" were starting to get the better of him.It's ironic really that his demons got to Roberts then, because prior to WWF, he had won titles in every promotion he's worked for.AWF,Georgia Championship Wrestling, Smokey Mountain and WCCW~ he had won titles in all of them.But as soon as he joined WWF and his problems escalated, he failed to win anything during his run in the promotion.

He's been described as the greatest wrestler never to have won a title with WWF and i have to agree.He definitely had the wrestling skills, the in-ring psychology and the ability to cut intense promos.He created the DDT, trained Raven and DDP, as well as teaching Stone Cold aspects of wrestling psychology.Roberts deserved greater things than he achieved.

Answer 5

Jake was my favorite back in the old days. Crack is whack it really messed him up. I never saw him being WWE heavyweight champion but he could've been Intercontinental champ. It was sad to see him on Beyond The Mat peeing in a trash can with a huge gut and wearing that nasty coat he had since 1987.

Answer 6

Undoubtable but he couldn't fight his demons. But he'll forever be remembered as one of the greats. Long live Mr DDT

Answer 7

yeah, i think so..
