Then – Jake “The Snake” Roberts
True to his name, The Snake’s claim to fame is the python he would bring into the ring to intimidate opponents. Along with his pet, Damien, The Snake was a proponent of using psychology to gain an edge during matches.
Now – Recovering
Unfortunately, The Snake dealt with years of drug and alcohol addiction. After going completely broke, fellow wrestler Diamond Dallas Page took The Snake in to help him get his life together again. The Snake picked himself back up, restructured his finances, and even lost 50 pounds! He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.
