What I never understood is why Scott Hall or Jake ever needed "our" help to begin with.
You're telling me that DDP, who had millions of dollars couldn't pay the price of their operation??
And I seen Scott Hall's house he was living in. That one DDP video showed it when Jake went to visit Scott. Scott clearly has money, but hey, if the fans or as he would say "marks" are stupid enough to pay for his surgery, then why not??

So wait are these two back to using again? NO, I am having Jake on our shows in January for Jersey Championship Wrestling and he is doing very well. It's just a couple of marks complaining because they were stupid enough to send these guys money and actually expecting they would get anything out of it. I have a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell them as well.

I think I've yet to see anyone actually come forward other than this original report. I think some guy accidentally fell through the cracks, or is lying about donating. I'm not saying that those two have been angels in their life, but I think they were legit grateful for the help. Plus they actually are changing their lives.

So wait are these two back to using again? You tell me They both seem in great spirits! Scott hasn't spoken that clear in a decade. He looks amazing. Jake doesn't look as good as he did a few months back though. Just not as lean is all.

If you're donating money you're doing it to help, not because you expect something in return. Getting something is an extra added bonus and you should just be happy whenever you get it. It's one guy, he'll get around to it eventually. The entire purpose of setting up an Indiegogo is to raise money and offer perks for those who make contributions. They - the contributors - were promised "perks" for their contribution which many aren't getting. You are acting like the people who contributed funds are the bad guys for expecting what they are promised. However, they aren't. They are entitled to everything they were promised with their contribution. You want to know why people are expecting something in return? It's because they were promised something in return. The fact of the matter is that Scott Hall & Jake Roberts had someone set-up an account, ask for funds, with the promise of perks and haved failed to deliver their perks. It's their responsibility. It's an entirely different argument about whether people should have donated, but they have a right to be pissed when they contributed funds with the promise of perks.. yet haven't gotten them. Period. EDIT: However, you take a look at Scott's timeline.. he's re-tweeted people within the past few days about them getting their phone call from the project. So, yeah. I'm not familiar with the page but did they promise it to be done by a certain date? Because if not they have no grounds to be pissed... they'll get it when they get it. For now they should be happy that their money made a difference for a wrestler they care about.

I had actually forgotten about it until I received my t-shirt and autograph. It's actually a cool shirt too.

Sounds like the guy took a horrible approach to getting a resolution to his problem and the Bad Guy carved him up.

I met Roberts two years ago at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, and to be honest, he was a total bunghole then, was miserable to all of the fans, to the point whrre a lot of people waiting in line to see him, to either buy an autographed photo of him, or get a picture taken with him, were leaving his line seeing how rude he was, and going to Jim Duggan instead, who was beside him and ing awesome. Roberts was also apparently prety rude with the expo volunteers. Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ted Dibiase, Virgil, Kiarny, and Honky Tonk Man were all there, and with the exception of Tonk, all were fantastic to meet. Honky wasn't bad, he was just kind of irritable. He was also a bit of an ass to the volunteers, but he was really good with the fans. Just seemed grumpy more than anything. But Jake was miserable. After knowing what Jake has always been like, and meeting him,I'd never give him a cent This was the same event where I met him. How much was it for a picture with Honky's belt? $80 or something? Crazy. Also I didn't see anyone in line to see Virgil haha, poor lonely Virgil

I used my cell phone, and an expo volunteer took the pic. It was the very first day, and right after it opened, so the wrestlers literally had nobody there basically aside from about a dozen of us, so maybe they gave it me cheaper to ensure they made something. I didn't get any autogtaphs or anything, just went up, talked to each of them for a bit, and got a picture. All of them charged me $10, except Virgil, who wanted $15. Sadly, the person who took the pics was shaking pretty badly, so the pics aren't too great, but still, I wasn't too upset.

I'm still trying to figure out why honky poses with his own WHC Belt,when he NEVER held a World Championship of any kind!
you think he'd use a replica IC Belt instead...

Sorry but anyone who gives Scott Hall or Jake Roberts money should know better. Enough said right there. The fact that Hall has been released from WWF, WCW and WWE more times than I can count says MANY things, 1 of those things is "unreliable". He can never get his sh*t together so this doesn't surprise me. Especially when the other dude demands crack to turn up for an Indie show...No thanks

The guy made millions and if he needs money he obviously is going to blow whatever you give him. The same goes for Jake really. Also, if you have to miss a rent payment to give charity money then that's on you. I think your own personal bills and livelihood should come first. I'm not saying what Hall and Jake did is right because it's not at all. I'm just saying people should know better and anyone who doesn't is stupid. and bingo was his name-o
