The videos of Jake have been very cool. This one was sad. It sucks to see that he has to ask for donations to get something like shoulder surgery.
@Samoa.. cancer foundations and research clinics get well more money than they probably need or should get. The funding of the research itself has become big business and is as likely to hold off eventual cures and treatments as it is to provide them. After all, once they "find the cure to cancer" there's no more need to fund the research for it.
Not saying they aren't good causes, what you mentioned... just saying, get a life.
It's really sad to see how broken some of these guys end up. It's good to see he might be turning his life around though and he will easily meet his goal at this rate. Hope things turn out better for him.
I might even donate some myself, at least I would've, if he hadn't killed Damien. :kobe
Damn, it's a fucking disgrace that in one of the richest countries in the world, someone has to beg to get something as necessary as a shoulder surgery.
He's not forcing you people to donate money to him. If you want to donate donate, if you don't want to don't be douches about it. He's obviously fallen on hard times and is trying to get his life together.
Glad to see he's met his goal already, that is awesome. As many have said before, Vince could've paid for it in exchange for some training/insight for his developing talent.
I don't really worry about him falling off and going back to drugs with that money solely because of DDP. I really think Vince should start considering a partnership with DDP Yoga to use as rehabilitation.
Good to see that Jake is trying to improve his health and life. I hope that the surgery works out for him and good for DDP for helping out Jake.
I read some place that DDP has reached out to Scott Hall and is helping him out. Hopefully it is all going well because that guy really does need some big help and WWEs rehabs weren't doing it.
Issue I have with the surgery he needs is the drugs he'll be given in the aftercare for the pain. Him being sober/clean is more important than getting his shoulder fixed right now.
Is there no top guy in the wwe right now who grew up with Jake as their favorite wrestler or something? I know Punk wouldn't make any sense (though he bought Joey Merc's house for him) but 10 grand is chump change for a top guy pulling seven figures.
How much was Jake Roberts paid during his prime? As much as I respect the guy, you got to wonder who should be footing this bill. Did Vince pay him enough to justify leaving him to his own devices on medical costs? Is this Jake's own fault for not saving his money? It really just seems strange that somebody could be so famous and yet have so little money.
I hope he gets better but on the other hand, he specifies that he wants the surgery and get in shape so he can wrestle again.. is that really a good idea? its like an alcoholic going through AA and then going to bars to hang out..sooner or later he will relapse.
donate to cancer research? those guys are fucking corporations only fucking 10% actually go to the research.
The man need money for surgery and want get his life back again...
donate to people who needed the money than go to these fucking so called charity...Charity isn't really charity at all but doing business.
