During a recent interview with Wrestling Life with Ben Veal, WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) commented on fellow Hall of Famer, Jake Roberts, being sober for almost 14, and how he no longer worries about Roberts relapsing. Below are some highlights (via F4WOnline.com):

DDP on How He Used To Worry About Jake Roberts Relapsing

“There’s certain guys you wonder, ‘Oh God, I hope he doesn’t go back again.’ And I felt like that about Jake for about five years. But now we’re coming up on the 14th year of Jake being sober, and I don’t even think about it anymore. Like, I could have a drink around him or whatever. He don’t care. He used to say, ‘I’m a man. I deserve three beers. I could have three beers.’ And at some point I said, when you’re really a man, it’ll be, ‘I don’t need three beers. I don’t want three beers. Because I know what comes after that, and it’s never any good.’ You know? He’s doing so good.”

On Roberts Reuniting With His Wife

“The fact that him and Cheryl are back, and anybody who’s an 80s fan who watched Jake and anything, you know, his wife was involved,” Page said. “His gorgeous wife was involved with the storyline with him and Rick Rude. And so now they’re doing signings together, Jake and Cheryl Roberts.”

Diamond Dallas Page was also the one who inducted Roberts into the WWE Hall of Fame at the 2014 induction ceremony.
