That made me tear up for real. I remember watching that part in the doc where he was with his daughter. This is the happiest ending. Seeing him old, making money, looking healthy!
Seems like Jake doesn’t wanna play Vlad’s interrogation games. He’s probably thinking he’ll take this marks money and get this interview over as quick as possible.
Exactly. Vlad is so slimy. He clearly didn't care or respect all Jake did in his career beyond clickbait ignorant nonsense and tragedy. Vlad is such a p.o.s.
This the type of Vlad interviews I like…So many guys are chatty patties, you can tell Vlad wanted Jake to expound but Jake is a direct straight to the point type of guy…
It's the era, he and myself comes from a time where a man only says what he wants and needs to say and then no more to talk about, someone asks a question that person gets the answer and that's it. Motherf>kers, wasn't bragging about everything spensley button talkin about the dirt dealings.
In the Joe Rogan interview, he was much more talkative. He gave a spot on impression of Macho man, he had Joe laughing about Andre the giant. He may be going through some shit/depressed and just wanted the exposure from this interview
The best Vince McMahon story I heard was his altercation with Nailz. Apparently WWE wrestlers and staff her Nailz screaming at Vince in his office at the arena. When they got into the office Nailz was beating the hell out of him. Nailz said that Vince had tried to sexually assault him 😂
The SA was bullshit Nailz attacked Vince because of money owed to him. Nailz even lied and said Vince sold him steroids but at trial he was such an unreliable witness there was no way Vince was going to prison after that.
maybe it gets to a point where you don't wanna keep re-talking about things; rehashing the past. That being said - he obviously turned up to do it. It's weird I guess, but he couldn't come across any less enthused here. Life can be jading being a wrestler I'd imagine too
A pro wrestler’s life is never easy. They are on the road damn near 300 days a year, a lot of physical & mental abuse on the body. Lots of drugs, alcohol, sex, etc.
If the WWE had an off-season like the NFL, NBA, MLB etc, you would be amazing of how many wrestlers would still be alive and have better relationships with their families
@@tufoinproductions because these superstars are human beings and deserve time to rest, replenish and recuperate with their families. They could operate with half the roster doing half the year and the other half do the other half, with small crossover appearances here and there to keep things fresh.
You never heard the movie the wrestler is loosely based on Jake even though you could insert alot of other names and say the same thing they just put out new documentary about him on a&e and there are other older ones
When Rogan interviewed Jake, Jake told amazing stories and was into it. With this dude Glad, Jake answers yes or no because questions are horrendous. There are levels to this and Glad is not on Rogans level. Number of listeners prove it
I have always said Vlad is a decent interviewer within the hip-hop space. Anything wider and he is below average. I actually prefer Shawn to be honest.
The thing with Vlad is just that he gets interesting guests, guys that you had forgotten about, like Rog from What's Happening lol wtf, but he is not on the Rogan/Howard Stern level at all. Those guys get the most out of the guests.

Eric Bischoff was just a clown playing with someone else's money. That's why WCW failed to make money and when Time Warner bought Turner, they got rid of it for cheap. Even when WWF was losing in the ratings in the late 90s for a while they were still making big profits and were bigger overseas.
@@poppinc8145 Actually, WCW almost put Vince and the WWF out of business in 1997. Eric Bischoff did good with Turner's money giving wrestlers guaranteed contracts, more money, more benefits, bigger production values, etc.
@@hitek9too255 Listen to yourself. You just listed out all the ways WCW was hemorrhaging money. They were flying out hundreds of wrestlers each week to different cities who didn't even work that week. They were hiring old stars for larger amounts of money instead of creating new ones like the WWF did in the 90s for much cheaper.
@@hitek9too255 Bullsh-t. The numbers are public. May 1994 to April 1995 financial year, the WWF made a loss of $4.4M, and May 1996 and April 1997 the WWF made a loss of $6.5M. 1. The financial years they lost money was predominantly 1994 and 1996, not 1997. In the May 1997 to April 1998 financial year they made $8.5M profit (and then $56M and then $69M, et al). 2. Losing $6.5M as part of $82M revenue is literally nothing. It's nowhere near being driven out of business. They had assets worth way more than $7M and any bank would give them more than that with their eyes closed. Stop repeating cringe online talking points.
Vlad gets a kick outta ppls misfortunes, traumas, and misery. When something negative happens to you, he takes joy in digging deeper. Hits you with a condescending reply, usually a chuckle, or cackle. One day tho...somethin really traumatic or a misfortune is gonna come his way, knockin that smug, condescending tone out of him. Hopefully he keeps the same energy, when ppl take joy in his downfall. 🤷🏾♂️😆
Ya he a smug pos. Like so many ppl that somehow got famous asking baisic questions or just talks with his friends in the room like literally every single person who ever lived. So lame. Idk how ppl can make money through ads on RUclips. Who buys anything they see? Who doesn’t jus get mad the video is interrupted for some vpn or doordash crap. Like makes zero sense. I don’t even subscribe. Ever. They are not special. Or talented usually.
I appreciate this interview. But I don’t how misleading the title is. I’m not positive Jake was agreeing the Vince was a POS when he says yes here. So many other things could’ve been highlighted in this segment. You can tell Jake is annoyed at the over focus on the negative aspects of his life.
Listen closely, Vlad is asking closed ended questions (can be answered with a yes/no) and not connecting with the subject so Jake is giving Vlad answers to what he’s asking. At 4:13, for example, he asks Jake an open ended question and gets solid response.
Jake Roberts bad mouthing wrestlers who never wrestled him or became more successful is sad. Jake never had a big push after his religious gimmick that made Austin 3:16 he was using drugs and wasn’t reliable. He’s lucky, but I never thought he was a main event or when he was in the WWF could have carried any title. His matches with Randy Savage and Rickey Steamboat are classics but that’s it.
Vlad and Jake should educate themselves better before assuming things. Ultimate Warrior was definitely on roids, but his mom mentioned in a documentary that none of the men on his fathers side lived past 50.
Sorry, that excuse doesn't work. Let's see a family without a history of cancer, stroke or heart attacks. Thats an excuse that even HHH used, Arnold has used. Come on.
Nope, the chemistry wasn't happening between Vlad and Jake. Still some good stuff there, but you can tell when a person isn't as willing to expound as much as he or she might with a different interviewer. That's the way it goes.
Vince McMahon gave this man more chances than he probably should have. Glad to see how grateful he is. He’s bitter because he doesn’t have a job with WWE. With the amount of times he has fucked them over with his reckless behavior I’m surprised he doesn’t see their point of view.
Vince McMahon is PT Barnum, he's a fantastic showman who always knew how to sell and entertain the masses. But have his style and sense of humor "aged well"? Yeahhh, not particularly.
Vlad must be on Wikipedia & he must not be in the room with Jake. There’s so many awkward & unnatural translations in this interview. You can tell Vlad ain’t a real fan of Jake’s or wrestling because he’s not following up on some of the things Jake is saying. Just moving on to the next year of his life & career
Jake is Spot On about taking Family Time off at this time, Rick “SteamBoat” Blood told Vince Jr. to pound salt over this issue and Vince then Blackballed Rick from returning to WWE for quite some time until Jericho insisted he could still work tremendously even into his late 40’s …
Vlad is leading the conversation, Jake doesn't talk that much (he never has, unless it's a promo). I don't get much of this, since I have seen so many interviews from wrestlers about the early days of WWF, there's nothing new. New Jack was a real a**hole, but a real one also, so he didn't like most white mf'ers as he would say anyway. The title feels more about getting clicks (since Vince just got paid again recently), cause Jake has moved on and is ok with Vince now.
I'm glad The Rock was able to get out of wrestling when he did, and I'm glad he got the type of mainstream success he did, making the business easier for the likes of Cena, Orton, and others.
Ironically they're the ones who later criticized him for doing so, but then they would have NEVER opened their mouths of it was Hogan or Austin, and I like them both but it is what it is.
@Leelo Haskin yeah, I remember that. Well, I remember Cena publicly critizing rock. Not sure about orton...but honestly who hasn't he complained about during his career. I don't watch nor keep up with wrestling anymore.
I repeat, his DCD with WWE was one of the best docs I've ever seen. Yes, he got short during this interview, but you're supposed to let guys talk when you ask them questions. I'm the same way, if someone keeps cutting me off, I either stop talking or get very short with them. I've seen many Jake interviews, and he's very open, and he will give you great soundbites if you shut up and let him talk. His Randy impression especially is hilarious.
Beeing on steroids is intense. I was a complete lunatic messing with the juice and i was only doing a small amount. It's no joke. I can see steroids causing Benoit going on a rampage, because he was a small guy naturally, and had to use a lot of juice to keep up with the bigger guys. It affects your mental health probably worse than doing cocaine everyday
anytime I take care of myself and stop smoking and drinking and get healthy and my test levels spike I always become more aggressive imagine if I was on the sauce, I think about taking them just so I can have an edge but watching Cali muscle shribble up makes me say no
Don't try to normalize Benoits psycho sh. If you can see how someone could go home, torture their wife to death, as in after her back snapped in half so all she could do was scream while you continue to wrap her up for hours and beat her with electrical cords and the cords you connect your cable with for hours with your 7 year old child in the house until you finally decide to choke her to death then roll her up in a rug, meanwhile keeping in touch with work, then a day later decide to shoot your 7 year old up with xanax then strangle him, then call your buddies at work and tell them your dead wife and now dead child have food poisoning and you had to take them to the hospital-- meanwhile STILL checking in with work and even googling flights to make sure you're at the next show- meanwhile your wife is starting to blow up and stink-- but you're okay with that, and still pack a bag then go grab knives and bibles so you can stage the bodies until 'oh sh-- I told somebody they were sick' so instead of facing this you go back and google the least painful way to die, and even do yourself the kindness of wrapping 2, twice as many as were recommended on line-- just to make sure you don't get pinched, then make arrangements for someone to get your f'n dogs-- which got a better treatment than his son. Of course, you gotta make sure the dogs are okay. If this is relatable to you I'm any kind of way. Go check yourself in to somewhere that will put you in a straight jacket and give you a lobotomy because you have NO business being around other human beings.
For people to blame Vince for wrestlers deaths and what not is ludicrous. Vince built an industry that heavily relied on overly muscular and built bodies. Steroids were a way to keep up. Those wrestlers took the risk of doing steroids to make more money. One may argue If they didn’t use steroids, they wouldn’t be able to compete with the rest which would result in them being released, which is true, but this is not Vince’s fault. This is the business they were in at the time. They knew they would have to use steroids from the beginning in order to keep up. Nobody forced them into wrestling.
They were "encouraged" to do this and there were ringside doctors on payroll. They clearly would've had no way of knowing this going in because no one wanted wrestlers to look like Chippendales dancers until Vince came along. No one wouldve predicted him looting all the other territories of their best talent, then purchasing them to then squash them so there were no other territories-- not to take out competition, take away the possibility of being employed anywhere else, so you then have to do whatever crazy sh Vince wants you to-- which will include a humiliation phase, and a stint where you are removed from payroll in assurance you will act accordingly. Please don't spend your entire life being stupid.
DJVlad @ The next three wrestlers you need to interview are Konnan and Vampiro,who each have intriguing stories on being involved with various gangs,drugs,between-the-scenes wrestling on-goings,health issues(with Konnan having kidney ailments),and (in Vampiro's case)being kidnapped by a satanic cult,and Jesse Ventura on his wrestling,acting,and political careers,Truthers,and getting Donald Trump into politics in 2000(as a left leaning Independent[!!!!]).
Kinda funny that he refers to McMahon as a "piece of s---" but he was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame . Then again most likely it wasn't Mc Mahon voting him in . Know the fans can vote on who gets in . Most likely that was the case . Jake is a legend in every sense of the word and deserves to be in the HOF .
He was the og of the ddt.. easy and effective!! I remember I ddt one of my friends in highschool and my homie leg dropped him with Tims on. He was finished lol good ol days. Shout out to moody. He was on the Brooklyn way show and a few episodes on my expert opinion with math. The q- tip interview I remember he was on there. He had on all red or orange lol. My nigga !!
After watching this Jake interview I'll admit it's the most awkward. So many questions in short time spans, lots of pauses on both ends, Jake made this odd.
Vlad isn't a great interviewer, he gets a lot of people with strong personalities that take it over. He asked New Jack a ton of "yes/ no" questions and got a yes or no.
“we finally won” i’m happy for jake.
That made me tear up for real. I remember watching that part in the doc where he was with his daughter. This is the happiest ending. Seeing him old, making money, looking healthy!
Me too. Happy to see Snake nice and clean.
Great to see that he repaired his relationship with his daughter.
That is so beautiful. I love it for him.
Seems like Jake doesn’t wanna play Vlad’s interrogation games. He’s probably thinking he’ll take this marks money and get this interview over as quick as possible.
Lmaooo facts
Exactly. Vlad is so slimy. He clearly didn't care or respect all Jake did in his career beyond clickbait ignorant nonsense and tragedy. Vlad is such a p.o.s.
As he should! Jake is smart af
These old wrestler's don't play games they fucked there bodies up and don't have time to play games
I hope Jake finally finds peace and happiness with Cheryl
He's had a rough go of this life.
I think he has… sobriety gives you that spiritual awakening.. as we trudge along this road of happy destiny 😅
She's with him at conventions today!
R.I.P. New Jack 🙏🏾💯
Yup
‘Sobriety does magic’. Jake needs to send that to all the WWF legends. And Vlad needs to tell that to all the rappers who come on the platform

I'm happy Jake is reunited with his 2nd wife and has been sober for a decade. He has redeem himself.
Jake and Cheryl Roberts together again. Beautiful!
At least Jake will let Vlad interview himself as usual... Jake wasn't saying nun....
if your a man that keep getting married 3 or more times something wrong with u. One time and one time only.
Nope, the chemistry wasn't happening between Vlad and Jake. Still some good stuff there, but you can tell when a person isn't as willing to expound as much as he or she might with a different interviewer. That's the way it goes.
RIP New Jack
When are you going to interview Sebastian Telfair???
He didn’t say that when he got inducted into hall of fame 😂
Or all the times Vince paid for him to go to rehab 😂
Good podcast man salute too you vlad tv peace ✌️
Vince McMahon gave this man more chances than he probably should have. Glad to see how grateful he is. He’s bitter because he doesn’t have a job with WWE. With the amount of times he has fucked them over with his reckless behavior I’m surprised he doesn’t see their point of view.
Vince McMahon is PT Barnum, he's a fantastic showman who always knew how to sell and entertain the masses. But have his style and sense of humor "aged well"? Yeahhh, not particularly.
Vlad must be on Wikipedia & he must not be in the room with Jake. There’s so many awkward & unnatural translations in this interview. You can tell Vlad ain’t a real fan of Jake’s or wrestling because he’s not following up on some of the things Jake is saying. Just moving on to the next year of his life & career
One of my favorites growing up.. 🐍 Man
Jake is Spot On about taking Family Time off at this time, Rick “SteamBoat” Blood told Vince Jr. to pound salt over this issue and Vince then Blackballed Rick from returning to WWE for quite some time until Jericho insisted he could still work tremendously even into his late 40’s …
That casino interview was one of the best promos ever!!!!!! Don't let them gate on you Jake! I wanna play blackjack!
Jake is tired. He's ready to dip out. Vlad is boring him
too many moments in this clip. classic 😆😆😆
Great Interview Vlad🎉🎉
Your the Best
You'd be great on 60 minutes.
Vlad struggled with this whole interview 😩
Jake didn't give much dialog. Direct dry az answers. More like.. next question.
@@Westlyn80 deadass a lot of his answers were short and he didn’t expand/elaborate on them
@@Westlyn80 go watch his other interviews on RUclips totally different he’s engaging because of the questions he’s being asked
All his info came via Wikipedia
You can tell vlad doesn’t really know the research or maybes he didn’t grow up watching wrestling.
Vlad is leading the conversation, Jake doesn't talk that much (he never has, unless it's a promo). I don't get much of this, since I have seen so many interviews from wrestlers about the early days of WWF, there's nothing new. New Jack was a real a**hole, but a real one also, so he didn't like most white mf'ers as he would say anyway. The title feels more about getting clicks (since Vince just got paid again recently), cause Jake has moved on and is ok with Vince now.
Vlad didnt know how to react to 3 word interviews… he sounds so uncomfortable
I'm glad The Rock was able to get out of wrestling when he did, and I'm glad he got the type of mainstream success he did, making the business easier for the likes of Cena, Orton, and others.
Ironically they're the ones who later criticized him for doing so, but then they would have NEVER opened their mouths of it was Hogan or Austin, and I like them both but it is what it is.
@Leelo Haskin yeah, I remember that. Well, I remember Cena publicly critizing rock. Not sure about orton...but honestly who hasn't he complained about during his career. I don't watch nor keep up with wrestling anymore.
Taker was lucky to have been able to retire.
@sharonjo7630 yeah, and then Cena had to eat humble pie and apologise to him because he did the same lol
Glad To See Jake's ComeBack & Happy 😊 ❗ He's One Of My Favorites 👍🏾
I repeat, his DCD with WWE was one of the best docs I've ever seen.
Yes, he got short during this interview, but you're supposed to let guys talk when you ask them questions.
I'm the same way, if someone keeps cutting me off, I either stop talking or get very short with them.
I've seen many Jake interviews, and he's very open, and he will give you great soundbites if you shut up and let him talk.
His Randy impression especially is hilarious.
Short answers. Reminds me of Barry Windham interviews.

I love how Jake is not feeling Vlad at all.
Great interview
Beeing on steroids is intense. I was a complete lunatic messing with the juice and i was only doing a small amount. It's no joke. I can see steroids causing Benoit going on a rampage, because he was a small guy naturally, and had to use a lot of juice to keep up with the bigger guys. It affects your mental health probably worse than doing cocaine everyday
anytime I take care of myself and stop smoking and drinking and get healthy and my test levels spike I always become more aggressive imagine if I was on the sauce, I think about taking them just so I can have an edge but watching Cali muscle shribble up makes me say no
Don't try to normalize Benoits psycho sh. If you can see how someone could go home, torture their wife to death, as in after her back snapped in half so all she could do was scream while you continue to wrap her up for hours and beat her with electrical cords and the cords you connect your cable with for hours with your 7 year old child in the house until you finally decide to choke her to death then roll her up in a rug, meanwhile keeping in touch with work, then a day later decide to shoot your 7 year old up with xanax then strangle him, then call your buddies at work and tell them your dead wife and now dead child have food poisoning and you had to take them to the hospital-- meanwhile STILL checking in with work and even googling flights to make sure you're at the next show- meanwhile your wife is starting to blow up and stink-- but you're okay with that, and still pack a bag then go grab knives and bibles so you can stage the bodies until 'oh sh-- I told somebody they were sick' so instead of facing this you go back and google the least painful way to die, and even do yourself the kindness of wrapping 2, twice as many as were recommended on line-- just to make sure you don't get pinched, then make arrangements for someone to get your f'n dogs-- which got a better treatment than his son. Of course, you gotta make sure the dogs are okay.
If this is relatable to you I'm any kind of way. Go check yourself in to somewhere that will put you in a straight jacket and give you a lobotomy because you have NO business being around other human beings.
My respect for jake roberts what a life geez
Lol at Jakes responses. He’s either not into the questions, the interviewer, or both.
Jake Roberts 👑
For people to blame Vince for wrestlers deaths and what not is ludicrous. Vince built an industry that heavily relied on overly muscular and built bodies. Steroids were a way to keep up. Those wrestlers took the risk of doing steroids to make more money. One may argue If they didn’t use steroids, they wouldn’t be able to compete with the rest which would result in them being released, which is true, but this is not Vince’s fault. This is the business they were in at the time. They knew they would have to use steroids from the beginning in order to keep up. Nobody forced them into wrestling.
They were "encouraged" to do this and there were ringside doctors on payroll. They clearly would've had no way of knowing this going in because no one wanted wrestlers to look like Chippendales dancers until Vince came along. No one wouldve predicted him looting all the other territories of their best talent, then purchasing them to then squash them so there were no other territories-- not to take out competition, take away the possibility of being employed anywhere else, so you then have to do whatever crazy sh Vince wants you to-- which will include a humiliation phase, and a stint where you are removed from payroll in assurance you will act accordingly. Please don't spend your entire life being stupid.
Shut up wwe mark
He sound like he’s getting interrogated
DJVlad @ The next three wrestlers you need to interview are Konnan and Vampiro,who each have intriguing stories on being involved with various gangs,drugs,between-the-scenes wrestling on-goings,health issues(with Konnan having kidney ailments),and (in Vampiro's case)being kidnapped by a satanic cult,and Jesse Ventura on his wrestling,acting,and political careers,Truthers,and getting Donald Trump into politics in 2000(as a left leaning Independent[!!!!]).
Legend💯
Lol Vince wasn’t the one doing drugs and being a horrible father.. Jake take ownership of your actions…
He absolutely was
They hate Vince more than sheek hate J Hood
Jake doesn’t sound like a recovering drug addict here, he sounds like he still has some resentments and he needs to do his 4th and 5th steps
Jake is an inspiration!!!
Why didn't Vlad focus on Jake's "Resurrection" documentary? Jake is obviously not digging this interview.
Thank you Vlad for this interview
The self-destruction The Ultimate Warrior was a bad movie. they did my favorite wrestler wrong. Like he was dead. SMH
Interview Kevin Nash
Yes, yep, yeah, right.... this is a great interview.
Kinda funny that he refers to McMahon as a "piece of s---" but he was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame . Then again most likely it wasn't Mc Mahon voting him in . Know the fans can vote on who gets in . Most likely that was the case . Jake is a legend in every sense of the word and deserves to be in the HOF .
Jake know he went in smke that crack🤣🤣
Happy to see you Jake! Beyond The Mat made me like him even more.
May God continue to bless you Jake.
Glad Jake finally got sober and living the good life now.
He was the og of the ddt.. easy and effective!! I remember I ddt one of my friends in highschool and my homie leg dropped him with Tims on. He was finished lol good ol days. Shout out to moody. He was on the Brooklyn way show and a few episodes on my expert opinion with math. The q- tip interview I remember he was on there. He had on all red or orange lol. My nigga !!
After watching this Jake interview I'll admit it's the most awkward. So many questions in short time spans, lots of pauses on both ends, Jake made this odd.
Vlad isn't a great interviewer, he gets a lot of people with strong personalities that take it over. He asked New Jack a ton of "yes/ no" questions and got a yes or no.
6:30 Nah Sheryl just needs security. Dont let her fool you
