Via cbssports.com
Jake the Snake was a colorful character, known for his penchant for bringing live snakes into WWE arenas. After leaving the industry, things didn’t go to well for Jake Roberts. Roberts turned to drugs and alcohol, something that actually led to him being fired by the organization. Over the years, Roberts continued on a downward spiral, even being caught smoking crack and talking about his sexual encounters in a video that was seen by the public. He even attended an event where he was drunk, disorderly, and reportedly pulled out a private part in front of a crowd. After talking to former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, Roberts began doing yoga and got sober. As of 2015, he is still sober.

Scott Hall was notoriously known for his bad boy image in the ring. However, he was just as well known for his antics outside of the ring as well. His drinking became part of his storylines, but eventually led to a downward spiral that included a divorce from his wife and being arrested multiple times for his behavior. He was even kicked out of various events for being drunk and disorderly. Like Jake Roberts, Diamond Dallas Page helped Hall out of his rut and helped him live a cleaner life with yoga and without booze. Hall has appeared at multiple WWE events recently, although he still appears to struggle with his sobriety.
