Another interesting thing about the Heroes of Wrestling match involving Jake Roberts: The original booking was a double main event of Jim Neidhart vs Jake Roberts and Yokozuna vs King Kong Bundy. However, not only was Roberts in no state to compete, but, also, Yokozuna and Bundy both refused to lose clean. Both circumstances led to the tag match being booked. Roberts was originally supposed to pin Neidhart for the win, but Neidhart, on the day of the show, also refused to lose clean, which led to a plastered drunk Jake Roberts stepping up, being the bigger man, and volunteering to take the pin. Crazy. Also, it was Yokozuna's final match before his unfortunate passing.
Jake has said he was 2 very different people. The man behind the curtain was the polar opposite of the man in the ring regardless of his destructive lifestyle habits. When you hear how even minded and professional he in fact is during interviews, I'm not surprised he was such a team player. *He was one of the biggest names in wrestling throughout my entire youth.* We see these stories of how the mighty have fallen, but for someone my age of 45, nothing can distort the light I still see them in.
He was actually apparently on Soma during that infamous "match" with Sting. At least that's what he claims. It's a muscle relaxer that acts a lot like alcohol though.
bit more intense .. wtf areu talking about being blackout drunk is as intoxicated as u can get u realize peopl use drugs like coke and meth to end up more sober right when their drunk ... liiqour intoxicaes u more then anything but pyschedlics
Honourable mention to Marty Jannetty Royal Rumble 93. So drunk he forgot which shoulder to sell after getting rammed into the ring post. Got fired that night
Absolutely a lie; Shawn Michaels found Marty passed out in the back at a San Jose, CA taping for RAW and told the higher ups that Marty was drunk because Marty had sold the left shoulder instead of the right at the PPV.
Sandman probably wrestled drunk so he wouldn't feel anything with all the nasty shots he'd take. The ECW locker room in general was probably screwed up 99.9% of the time
I was both backstage and front of house at a UK show with Sandman on it, before I met him people on crew told me he was packing it away and really annoying, but by time I got to him he was the nicest guy, took a pic with me, signed a T-Shirt for me, then downed a can of Stella Artois, signed the can and gave it to me as a gift, could not have been a better experience, but jeez he can drink, musta had at least 24 cans of Stella before the show even started, 99% of us would have passed out and slept through the show not had a match on it.
@@ModernDayRenaissanceMan In my country (England) always haha. Good old 18 packs will see you through a weekend unless you're Sandman, then about a hour. XD
The best part of JBL being drunk at ECW one night stand 2005 is the fact that on the DVD it has alternate commentary and it's absolutely Hilarious I'm so glad i bought the DVD.
I remember seeing Road Warrior Hawk in a singles match where he was so bad that he must have been drunk or injured. He botched everything. When jumping off the ropes, he more or less fell off instead.
yeah i was thinking when he said "reinventing himself" and "changing with the times" like are we thinking about the same person?? i guess he changed from playing a country singer.. but after that?? he stopped saying slapnuts? i think. still hits people with guitars, pretty sure he still does the strut, and acts like he's the best thing ever. (granted it still somewhat works for him)
You left Road Dogg Jesse James off of this list. He wrestled inebriated on a tv taping of WWF Metal back in December of 2000 against Lo Down, and was stumbling all over the place in the match. He was fired from the WWF after that.
its a top 10 list not a top 11 list u really think thats the only case that was missed why da fk do u evn want to watch a informational video about a story tha u already know wouldnt u rather here something else
He left a lot more than just Road Dogg off the list!! I can think of a few more right off the top of my head, with Jeff Hardy being one of them!! I'm pretty sure Matt Hardy did too!! And it's crazy he mentioned sandman drinking on his way to the ring, but didn't mention stone cold Steve Austin, since he was pretty much the same way!! He was constantly drinking during the shows!! But either way, the point is that he could make plenty of top 10 videos of wrestlers that drank or was drunk while wrestling!!
FWIW, Steve has said that he intentionally avoided consuming most of the beers in ring specifically to avoid that. When he was on Hot Ones he said that a couple of beers after a match, when he was somewhat dehydrated and not having food on his stomach, would get him pretty buzzed relative to his usual.
Funny how Arn Anderson got fired for allowing Fox to wrestle drunk, but JBL wasn’t fired for wrestling drunk himself. In addition there was also an incident with Justin Credible where he appeared at an Indy show barely able to stand. When he got in the ring the promoter went medieval on him verbally. It was a verbal annihilation so bad you end of feeling bad for Credible.
Jeff Jarrett is the last of the great Jarrett family wrestling dynasty and we should be grateful he's still active no matter how you feel about him currently. Sooner rather than later there will be no more Jarretts in the wrestling industry. What a strange thought.
It’s rather understated, and as far as I know he never preformed while wasted to the point of being unable to work, but one consistent detail in a lot of backstage stories in WWE I’ve always loved is Undertaker’s LOVE of Jack Daniels whiskey 😂. You’re a rookie and Taker’s offering you a spot with him on TV? Do a shot with him before the match. Pissed off the locker room and now you need to bribe the judge of Wrestler’s Court? Buy him a bottle of JD! 😂😂😂
When I first heard of wrestlers' court, I thought it was an inside joke or some canceled segment that used to be on WWE like Brutus Beefcake's Barbershop or Jericho's Highlight Reel or the Grayson Waller Effect. I didn't know it was an actual lockeroom trial that decided your future with the company based off your backstage behavior
JBL also had an existing grudge against the Blue Meanie because of comments he had made about his hazing. JBL was like the chief of hazing back in the day and it would get weird. It is funny that the WWE had to have him job to Blue Meanie just so he wouldn't sue them for that incident.
Watch the bit about Sting and Jeff Hardy when Jeff was on somas. Eric Bischoff did the right thing and shut the match down and Sting gave Jeff that disappointed father look, especially because Sting has a past and understands what Jeff was going through. Sting and Eric did what needed to be done to protect Jeff.
I read his book. I'm amazed he's still alive. Not just the drugs/alcohol, but just health problems in general. Although some of those were probably caused by the drugs/booze.
@@Rando1975 booze is drugs it just as abd as doing coke man infact its arguably worse coke dosent try to kill u when u try to quit ... a blackout drunk is far more intoxicatd then someone on coke why are they in differrent classes their both hard drugs
One of my friends used to drive Sandman whenever he worked shows for a certain US indie promotion. Dude LOVES his alcohol, to an insane degree. I have no idea how he's still alive if I'm honest.
So, I've made a lot of jokes about nobody ever being as scared in their life as the boy showing up to take Kyra Angle to prom. But when you consider Kurt's Percocet issues and Jeff and Karen's drinking, that joke takes on a much darker tone.
You forgot when Alicia Fox wrestled on Raw against Rousey. Fox threw Rousey in the Ring Corner and stomped her down. Rousey turned into a Cyborg and completely Beat the Living hell out of Fix and left her Drunk ass laying in the ring to try and Sober up but even then, That Completely FAILED
A wrestler being drunk is one thing when you are the captain of the ship and your the voice for the company representing on someone else show holly slapnuts
Stone Cold was absolutely drunk at the house show I saw in 2000. Like, he sat down in the corner, Raven style for the duration of a tag match. His eyes were totally glazed over, and he never moved.
@@ScarFace5566 her short feud with Paige was legendary. When Alicia lost the match and she went ballistic on commentary was genius. She was a better psycho than AJ Lee.
Well as we all know double A loves a few cold beers himself so he couldn't really say much. "You new when Arn Anderson left town there would be a lot of unpaid bar tabs" 🙂
The problem with 'drugs' in professional wrestling is this: these athletes do crazy stunts day in day out for years, they get hurt due to this, they take painkillers, the painkillers slow them down considerably, they still need to perform crazy stunts day in day out, they then take uppers to counteract the painkillers, that's now a cocktail, they often get very ill and die due to ingesting the cocktail day in day out. I certainly do not hold them up as 'bad people', they are literally having to do this stuff to carry on their commitment to entertain. I just hope they have access to the medical help they need.
2:30 JBL's alternate commentary during ECW One Night Stand is the stuff of legends. "Jerry Briscoe is rolling over in his grave and he's not even dead." 🤣
I once commentated on a very small scale indie show while I was very very drunk. It was so challenging that I just can't begin to imagine how anyone could actually wrestle while drunk.
I once had the questionable honor to referee a match in a small indie show with a severely drunk Honky Tonk Man ... I don´t know how they still manage to get inside a ring never mind wrestling
That Andre the Giant one does surprise me, but I believe it. My Grandfather (according to my dad) took him on a 2 and a half hour drive (he was a taxi driver) Andre took a slab of beer with him (24 cans) and halfway through the trip, Andre had to stop and buy more because he had finished them. He could fucking drink.
Andre gets sent in to teach somebody a lesson ends up being so drunk he gets chopped down like a tree Not only was he drunk but this was post Prime laundry when the acromegaly was starting to really affect his physicality in a major way. Interestingly enough if Akira had decided to stomp Andre face during the match while he was on his back, there would never have been a Hulk Hogan on Andre match
I remember when Teddy long. Gave CM punk a sobriety test in the ring. Everybody thought CM punk was drunk. But come to find out, he was str8Edge. So he passed the test with flying colors. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
you're correct. nevada has laws for wrestling, no chance yoko could get cleared to wrestle there (since new york banned him a few years before). mississippi doesn't have those laws, so it was easy to book him there.
@@kstxevolution9642 He was under the influence of something though. Seen it many times in my own family and friends before that night. Must of been drugs of some kind then.
Could swear there was one of these top 10’s where a wrestler ruined a tag team match by becoming so drunk prior that he threw up onto the ring and started swinging real haymakers at people. Guess I gotta keep lookinf
Thanks for keeping jeff of the list, everyone knows about it and its brought up more times than not. So i was genuinely curious who else wrestled intoxicated
The Sandman one doesn't shock me at all. His character was basically just himself. Like he died and got resuscitated and went back to wrestle later that night. Like of dying couldn't stop him putting on a match, then a few drinks definitely wouldn't stop him getting in the ring😂
Regal wasn't drunk. He was on painkillers and GHB. Hawk wasn't drunk at summerslam, he was on painkillers. And he did get punished. Him and Animal left the company shortly after this and didn't come back for almost 5 years.
I'd say Sandman was the one rare case in which being drunk made him a better wrestler lol
Sandman being mentioned on this list.
My reaction: why am I not suprised 😂
@@thereturnofharlem9030 I'm sure Sandman could fill all 10 spots easily.
He really is human Bender.

“Volunteering”
“You got 21….I got 22. You got blackjack…I got one of those too.”
That was the most disappointing ppv in the entire history of pay per views.
Jake has said he was 2 very different people. The man behind the curtain was the polar opposite of the man in the ring regardless of his destructive lifestyle habits. When you hear how even minded and professional he in fact is during interviews, I'm not surprised he was such a team player. *He was one of the biggest names in wrestling throughout my entire youth.*
We see these stories of how the mighty have fallen, but for someone my age of 45, nothing can distort the light I still see them in.
Also didn't happen in Vegas
I was gonna say "wow no Hardy?" but that was something a bit more intense than a drunk performance
He was actually apparently on Soma during that infamous "match" with Sting. At least that's what he claims. It's a muscle relaxer that acts a lot like alcohol though.
It's because he was clearly high af

Man I had such a crush on Alica Fox...Wade Barret is one lucky dude
Didn't ask
@@Sh4dowgale though you should know
That blue meanie bit was a work. Stevie Richards even admits it
Alicia already dubunked the drunk rumors on her twitch stream.
Saying what please?
Not sure how to feel that 2 of my 3 favorite wrestlers - Sandman and Shawn Michaels - were the best 2 drunken performers of all time.
I expected 10 Ric flair videos... from any 10 consecutive matches anywhere between 1980 and 1995 😂😂😂 WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Alicia fox was so smashed she'll
Attack someone after losing a match.😂
Scott Hall was drunk all the time in WCW
#10 - Like 5 matches on every indy mudshow
What?! No Eli Drake 'Shoes of a Champion' promo? That's a guy who botched his own lines, laughed it off, and rolled with it!
Sad fact: Scott Hall relapsed before he passed away because COVID prevented him from having social interaction with people
Miss the good ole days when you could get drunk to wrestle and smoke in the bowling alley
