Crow claims that she was Havoc’s “verbal punching bag” and that he took out his pressure on her. She also explains how it isn’t really his fault. Substance abuse is derailing his career, slowly but surely.

Jimmy Havoc is just the latest name to pop up in the list

The former WWE superstar is not the first wrestler to suffer from addiction and certainly won’t be the last. Jeff Hardy and Road Dogg Jesse James have been battling the same demons.
