Jake The Snake Roberts was recently interviewed on Busted Open Radio and had some thoughts about the Ultimate Warrior’s Hall of Fame induction when the subject came up. Jake didn’t seem too complimentary towards Warrior. Jake has said negative things in the past. His quote:
“..maybe they’re taking in assholes and not great talent. I don’t know.”
In regards to his own induction down the line:
“Well, whether you deserve it or not is not up to me man. And my life isn’t dependent upon that. If it doesn’t happen this year, maybe it’ll happen next year. I can only hope.”
Warrior responded on his twitter account:
“Question for former talents now ‘hypocrite’ born-again Christians. Where do we go to find you practicing the beliefs of Christianity? One a-hole instills honor and pride. The other horror and pity. One grows wise on great stories. One reads bathroom stalls and still grovels.”
Jake has seen that tweet and has since tweeted:
“My guys showed me Warrior’s tweets. I was trying to be entertaining with the radio show and took things too far, like I do too often. I have no business inferring anything negative about him. I apologize. He deserves the HOF and respect for what he accomplished in the business. But let me be clear. There is no hypocrisy here. I am not preaching anything. I am sharing my recovery path to show others what is possible. So no pity, bathrooms stalls or groveling. I am doing great. I am an addict and alcoholic working every single day to repair and make the best out of the life I have left. I make mistakes, like that comment, but my recovery has been amazing. Jim does not know this Jake. Without realizing or intending to, I fired the first shot and will take Jim’s response without any negativity towards him. I apologize and am putting behind me.”
So hopefully this twitter war is now over.
