Trial and errors are crucial parts when one has to pursue greatness. The Undertaker has entertained the WWE for a long period. In order to do that, he has gone through some serious errors which affected his health. It extended to the level that Vince McMahon had to warn The Deadman to stay away from a particular WWE superstar.

On the road, the superstars had to keep themselves entertained in order to stay in the right mindset. But the Undertaker decided to take this a step further. During traveling, he once got in a drinking game with a WWE legendary superstar, which eventually led to alcohol poisoning. The superstar was none other than Jake the Snake.

The WWE Hall of Famer, Jake Roberts told the story in the DDP Snake Pit Podcast. When Undertaker entered WWE, Roberts was already an established wrestler and Taker wanted to hang out with him more. But The Deadman wasn’t looking to gain any wrestling knowledge from the veteran. Instead, he wanted to hang out with Roberts to go to the strip clubs.

The Undertaker had a hobby of going to strip clubs and partying. WWE veteran Kevin Nash also confirmed the Taker’s amusement with strip clubs. But this partying habit once led The Deadman too far in his initial days on WWE.

The Undertaker went on a bender with Jake the Snake

According to Jake Roberts, The Undertaker went to him to hang more in the strip clubs. But hanging out in strip clubs soon turned into a game of heavy drinking every night for 2 months. “A week or two later, somebody told me and I don’t know if it’s true or not. Well, I do know that it is true, but he had alcohol poisoning,” Roberts said in the podcast.

Roberts soon ended the bender and told Undertaker his secret. “That’s when I ended the contest and said,’ Look, man, I cheat. There’s no way in hell I’m gonna lose to you because I know there are vitamins that you can take that will keep you going, no matter how much you drink.’ I shared the information with him, which wasn’t a good thing to do because it was something that was highly addictive, and that was my bad”
