Jake “The Snake” Roberts issued the following today in response to comments he made on the Busted Open satellite radio show in regards to The Ultimate Warrior being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

“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 WWE Hall of Fame 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, bathroom stalls or grovelling.

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 (Warrior) 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 things behind me.”
