Vince McMahon Allegedly Told Jerry Lawler To Pour Whiskey Over Jake Roberts During His Alcohol Issues

Vince McMahon had no mercy for Jake “The Snake” Roberts during a time where his issues with alcohol were crippling him.

While speaking on the DDP Snake Pit podcast, Jake Roberts talked about his feud in 1996 against Jerry Lawler. Roberts claimed that Vince McMahon told Lawler to pour whiskey on Roberts when he had alcohol issues.

“Absolutely was in horrible taste. They were making fun of me being an alcoholic. He went out and poured a bottle of whiskey on my face, burnt the sh*t out of my eyes. Ask Jerry [Lawler] he’ll tell you the same damn thing [that they used real whiskey to pour on his face] because when it came time for me to pour it on him, he goes, ‘You can’t pour that on me.’ I said, ‘What do you mean? You poured it on me.’ He goes, ‘Vince wanted it poured on you.’ That motherf**ker.
