Update: Jake the Snake Roberts apologizes for Ultimate Warrior comments

Contributors

The brewing personal feud between 2014 WWE Hall of Fame inductee Ultimate Warrior and fellow legend Jake the Snake Roberts has come to a quick end.

After Roberts had spoken critically of the Warrior’s pending induction into the Hall of Fame, and Warrior had responded by calling Roberts a “hypocrite” born-again Christian, Roberts offered his apology for the comments that ignited the brief controversy.

From Roberts on Twitter:

“My guys showed me Warrior’s tweets. I was trying to be entertaining with the radio show and took things too far, like I do too often. I have no business inferring anything negative about him. I apologize. He deserves the HOF and respect for what he accomplished in the business. But let me be clear. There is no hypocrisy here. I am not preaching anything. I am sharing my recovery path to show others what is possible. So no pity, bathrooms stalls or groveling. I am doing great. I am an addict and alcoholic working every single day to repair and make the best out of the life I have left. I make mistakes, like that comment, but my recovery has been amazing. Jim does not know this Jake. Without realizing or intending to, I fired the first shot and will take Jim’s response without any negativity towards him. I apologize and am putting behind me.”
