Jake Roberts was a part of an angle where Jerry Lawler mocked Roberts battle with alcoholism, and he tried to force feed Jake beer. Roberts recalls his reaction to this event in an interview with Inside The Ropes. 

Jake Roberts thoughts on the angle/segment

 “Well, I thought it was a horrible thing for McMahon to ask me to do. It was cheap, it was disrespectful, it didn’t prove a damn thing other than the fact that Vince McMahon’s an asshole, so there you go. Lawler, he’s in the the same boat. Both a**holes.”

On how he is doing physically nowadays

 “You know, I’ve got some issues that I have to watch, but it’s getting better all the time because I did quit smoking. That’s really hard to do. I will be around for a long time, I have grandkids I want to hang out with now. I want to make somebody else miserable, so have fun. Yeah, I’m doing much better.”
