One of the best films i have seen

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I grew up watching WCW and WWF, and a lot of the people in this show. This is, by far, the best documentary I've ever seen. It's put together very well, it gets the viewer involved in emotional highs and lows.I had tears in my eyes the majority of this show. Great documentary, and GREAT story. The way that commentary was added after the fact, mixed in with real-time commentary gave it something special. I've seen other wrestling documentaries, but even the NWO one doesn't come close to this. And that was a great one I thought.It's great to see people coming together. Old friends, long-time fans, etc., coming together for the rehab (physically, but more importantly emotionally) for Jake the Snake.

There are stories that make you upset and the there are stories that drive you to utter pain. Im only 34 years old so growing up I was a huge Jake the snake fan. You always hear stories of how the road affected these guys health back in the day, but you don't think of the impact it has later in their lives. To watch Jake from the beginning to the end of this docu it was amazing. I never would have in a million years thought he would have been in that bad of shape mentally and physically if I didn't see it with my own two eyes. Also, to see another one of my heroes Scott Hall recover the way he has made my inner 10 year old wrestling fan nearly jump through my skin. Way to go scott!! I absolutely recommend anyone who is in the process of recovering, or anyone who is just a true wrestling fan like myself to drop what you are doing and watch this flick. What Dally is doing with these guys is truly amazing. Heck, my wife and I purchased DDP yoga right after watching it!!

As a long time pro wrestling fan first exposed to Jake the Snake Roberts over 35 years ago, I have been a fan of his work from the Mid- South days all the way to the genesis of Austin 3:16 and beyond. Knowing how sad the endings of most pro-wrestlers' stories end, I was elated to find out that he decided to let DDP help him out at the Accountability Crib. As a DDPYoga user I can tell you first hand that just letting the DVD sit on the shelf does NOT help you. Likewise, Jake had to do the work and be honest with himself and come face to face with his demons before he could find any real healing. The documentary staff did a wonderful job in balancing the good and the bad without being exploitative.

Jake 'the snake' Roberts was something different, he didn't look like a bodybuilder, he didn't shout and scream at the camera. He was unique.He wowed us all with his persona, a mix between Cape Fear's Max Cady and Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle.I always new Jake struggled with substance abuse but never realised the extreme levels it got to that are shown in this film.To see one of your childhood heroes reduced to an overweight addict, barely able to walk, clinging to life by the hope that one day he will hear the cheer of wrestling fans once more is truly heartbreaking.Jake pulls no punches in explaining his demons and addictions, never once trying to blame anything or anybody but himself. This brutal honesty and the eloquent way he describes his daily battles with addiction are really compelling to watch - without directly saying so, Jake demands that you don't feel sorry for him - but you can't help it.It takes an old friend, a man that looked up to, respected, and learnt from Jake - that man being Dallas Page (DDP) opening his life and home to help his mentor and friend.We see the ups and downs that living with an addict can bring - betrayal, lies, soaring highs, incredible lows. DDP's unyielding support to his friend is very touching. DDP refuses to allow Jake to give up, a rare quality that more of us should employ.The change that Jake goes through is remarkable from both a mental and physical standpoint. All the while receiving that one thing that Jake craves and lives for - acceptance and admiration from the fans, and more importantly, reconciling with his family.I hope that this documentary finally gives Jake the launching pad, support system, whatever you want to call it, to start living life instead of surviving it.
