The list of guys like Jake Roberts,Mr Perfect,Rick Rude,Million Dollar Man who should have won the tile can all blame Hogan. Why do you think none of them ever had programs with him when they were the top heels in the business,cause Hogan knew that they could take away from his spotlight. Why did Hogan only fued with guys like Earthquake,Sgt Slaughter,Andre cause he could easily out work them.
Bottomline Hogan is at fault for much of the crap that went wrong back in the 90's
LOL Jake would sometimes use Pink Floyd lyrics in his promos ("Goodbye Cruel World"). In one of his heel promos he used lyrics from "One Of My Turns". :-p
i think roberts was so successful as a heel because he is really like that in real life,. sly and unpredictable and dark... with his crack pipes, prostitutes and God knows what else...
That segment sales close to the wind of being complete Wrestlecrap and yet Jake Roberts alone makes it genuinely scary. The man was a genuine bonafide talent.
it was around 1991. Yes Jake sided with Taker and they formed an "Unholy Alliance"...until the Saturday Night's Main Event match between Jake and Macho Man Randy Savage. After the match, Jake was backstage and attempted to`hit either Savage or Miss Elizabeth, whoever came through the curtain first, while he was about to swing, Taker stopped him
Jake got pissed at Taker and turned on him, thus completing Taker's turn from heel to face. They met at Wrestlemania VIII. Taker defeated Jake The Snake
This was in 91 prior to Summerslam during the summer months of July and August. He was aligning himself with the Undertaker, but in early 92 at the Royal Rumble that year, they feuded and met at Wrestlemania 8, which was at the Hoosierdome in Indianapolis and that marked the beginning of the Undertaker as a face and Jake left WWE and went to WCW that year and feuded with Sting at Halloween Havoc, before he left there
It is kind of funny when you think about it. THe Jake Roberts Warrior feud went no where the Jake Roberts Earthquake Feud went no where, and I believe their was some short livid feud with Undertaker which essentially went no where.
Would have been interesting to see how the Jake vs Warrior feud would have turned out. Alas, Warrior got himself suspended for a drug violation, so they had to bring Savage out of retirement far too early to take his place.
wrestling was so damn good back in these days im so glad i got to watch wrestling at its very best when i was a kid and not the rubbish wwe has become today
thank you for posting this. I remember the day i seen this when I was just a kid, had always thought this episode, and I know the entire funeral parlor show that ran previous to this episode... verbatim.
Jake Snake wasn't the best wrestler or wasn't built the best either, but he's one of the most intimidating and one of the best on the mic. He's one of a kind and inspired the Attitude Era of the WWF and beyond.
Yeah when he was in ECW but Jake the Snake was wrestling before ECW started Don't get me wrong I'm a die hard ECW fan, but you have to give props to the Snakeman.
You just have to know in your heart that if WWF stuck with these kinds of storylines in the late 90's, WWF would've folded over 10 years ago in the face of WCW and, especially, ECW.
Ya know, this kind of thing wasn't as bad as stuff like "Doink" and "Adam Bomb". The internet ruined it all, since we now know what everything is. Back when the fans didn't know, that could have been a real snake for all we knew...now, we are "smart" enough to know that there is no way they would risk using a real snake. Just like "wildmen" and masked men from Parts Unknown. Somehow, the guy has to be paid, right? He has to get to the arena somehow, right?
Funny as hell. Gene, so cool and collected. "Gee, how is he?" Then again, what's not heroic about a guy with face paint, tassels that cut blood flow to and from the arms, and gym shorts to boot?
