Old wrestlers, unfortunately, rarely fade away gracefully. Most either burn out, like Eddie Guerrero, break down, like Mick Foley – or – for most others, anxiously sit one call removed from yet another angle. Yet another paycheck. Yet another shot at glory. The roar of the crowd no doubt as addictive as any pill that thrills. To Mr. Mal’s mind, I bet many would trade any artificial high for one more huge pop from a packed house. In striving to recapture what they may have once had, or perhaps are still trying to achieve, no angle is seemingly beneath many of them. Nothing too low. Nothing out-of-bounds. Nothing sacred. Look no further than Jake Roberts.
