- We noted before that WWE Legend Jake "The Snake" Roberts was moving
in with Diamond Dallas Page on Monday. The plan is for DDP to use his
yoga program to help get Roberts back in shape for one more run in the
ring.

Roberts was booked for an independent show in La Marque,
Texas on Saturday night for the Coastal Wrestling Federation where he
was set to face a wrestler named Johnny Blade. According to fans in
attendance, Roberts had been drinking and got upset when he felt his
opponent was getting too much attention, more than Roberts himself.

Roberts
reportedly confronted Blade during a mid-show promo in the ring. The
story goes that Roberts ordered a confused referee to the ring, hit
Blade in the head and then fell on top of him for a quick, sloppy pin.
Roberts then reportedly walked straight from the ring to his car and
left.

There were about 300 fans in attendance and the promoter issued an apology for Roberts' action.
