You know... in person, if you met Jake Roberts... the life he led, the upbringing he had, his career... some people might consider him pathetic today, but I swear to god... if he turned on me in an alley, I'd be scared shitless.
@officialvangcreative Titles haven't meant much of anything for a while I know. As Piper said, he pup people over all the time without ever wearing it. On a list of greatest ever, MANY have held the title I was just saying he was one of the few that didnt and still great. In ring, character and mic.
@pepsipaddy Who gives a shit? He wasn't there to compete, he wasn't there to win a title *cough* Hulk Hogan *cough* Bet you cheered for him when he came back to lumber around a WWE ring once more, though. The difference between someone like Jake, and someone like Hulk? Jake put Randy over
This was the last time I ever saw Jake"The Snake" Roberts in the WWE. He was one of my all time favorites when I first became a WWE fan. I seen the WWE for 21 years. I wonder how old Jake is now. He looks old to me in this video. I hope Jake " The Snake" Robets and The Macho Man Randy Savage will inducted in the Hall Of Fame this year.
@CaptainBones WWE put out a DVD on him back in 2005...you should really look into getting a copy of it...its called "Pick Your Poison"...great documentary...
@CaptainBones Oh OK cool...I believe he was almost offered a job on the creative/writing team for WWE (which would have been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to see what stories and angles he would have come up with)...But, unfortunately, his demons keep haunting him and keeping him from being sober...YouTube videos has been the only outlet I've had to keep track of him...On occasion he does do some independent shows & legend reunions (see if any are in your area so you could meet him)...
i have looked for this for ever, i love the snake, the music, and of course damien, ha i never even saw him perform cos im too young lol only 17 man wwe nowadays has nothing on the snake and all the older ones
Everyone talks about Macho Man and how he should be in the Hall Of Fame......I agree BUT so should Jake the Snake Roberts. No wordl title, however, he was amazing on the mic, prob the best at the time (besides Piper, nobody beats him from then). great character and was awesome in the ring.
@canadiens5 I disagree on Piper being the better promo man. In my opinion no one comes close to Roberts. He didn't have to shout and rant and rave to get his point across. He spoke softly and slowly, every word meant something and even then he chose them carefully. I like Piper but Roberts is on another level.
Jake Roberts worked my backyard wrestling show back in 2004. He was such an honor to work with. The ring we had was made out of milk crates, cardboard and we used cut hoola hoops tied together as ropes. At first Jake was a little apprehensive about wrestling on it, but a half a bottle of whiskey and half eaten bag of ritz crackers goes a long way! Jake saw those items, and we worked out a deal. I also roomed him (cot in basement). I have xpac booked next month I hope hes as easy to work with.
@Ellthom yea oh how so true, and how sad is that and how bad does it reflect on the pathetic group of wrestlers that wwf(i refuse to call it wwe...its BS im sry). jake has more talent in one finger than every wwf wrestler today has combined. i mean listen to that crowds reaction when he came out?!?!? that literally gave me chills and the man still knows how to work the mic...its a absolute travesty jake isnt in the HOF...jake is my all-time fav next to undertaker.
@Super122291 unfortunately, im pretty sure it was... :( next to the undertaker jake was and always will be all-time fav. i think hes easily a HOF'er and in the top 5 most impactful wrestlers ever...
I loved this ovation, especially how it was in his long time home state. It's really cool how the fans show their appreciation. Jake's documentary was crazy...something that I wouldn't wish on anybody.
Worked with Jake a couple years after this happened and I am happy to say he seemed in alot better condition than he did here.... I'll tell you something else... what a tall man...
timing is very important ... so true ... for example this video would have been much more enjoyable if the timing on the sound wasn't so horribly off
