During the latest edition of his “DDP Snake Pit” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts commented on Buff Bagwell’s recent struggles.
Earlier this year, Bagwell moved into DDP’s Accountability Crib to get help with his addiction issues. DDP revealed back in August that Bagwell had checked into a rehab facility.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his concerns for Bagwell: “I know when Dallas [and I] would have our confrontations, I knew the bottom line. And the bottom line was ‘If I leave here, I’m dead.’ So I would argue points, but I wouldn’t push it so far to get [run] out of there. I wasn’t afraid to drop down on my knees and say please if I had to. That was how serious it was. And I hope Buff is taking this in the same way. Because this is your last chance … Marcus, if you don’t make it through this … you’ll be the next one we bury. I don’t want that for you or for anybody else.”
On the tough thing about mentoring people who are struggling: “I enjoy mentoring people … and helping people that are still struggling. I do a lot of that. The tough thing for that is not to get emotionally connected to that person, because their sickness will wind up hurting you. That’s something that I have to be careful of.”
Buff Bagwell is being advertised for a WrestlePro: Alaska event in Anchorage on Saturday. DDP is also being advertised for the show.
