Jake the Snake Roberts V WHO (WWF 1996)

[DAPDave]

Who?

[bLuDcLoT06]

ahahah what kind of entrance music does who have?lolol

[MyNational88]

3:27 DDT

[Reychelo79]

As soon as I saw that gut, i knew it was Anvil

[plenchful]

I remember reading somewhere that Vince called this guy 'Who' just so he and Lawler could do the Abbot & Costello "Who's on First?" routine during his matches. I wouldn't doubt it. Vince is notorious for making the commentators do really stupid comedy during play by play. Michael Cole, for instance. Not to mention his constant harassment of JR.

[nitro5432]

was this wrestling? a fat beer belly guy "punching" a drunk drug addict until he gets a fake win with his only 1 move?? this is sad.

[neverwuz01]

who's this guy?

[990axel]

i love jim

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Who had entrance music?

[MarcZERO1980]

Acorrding to Vince Russo 'Who' was a rib on Hulk Hogan.Also there was planned a tag team partner for 'who' called 'What'.

[birdmantd]

A preview of their great Heroes of Wrestling encounter.

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Who = Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart

[LeaderOfTheFlock]

@JeffTheFutureJaros Exactly he could've at least shave the body hair

[77danigga]

any real wrestling fan would know that was anvil under the mask

[kingofthewrld97]

@77danigga that was exactly what i thought as soon as this clip started

[reivenlocke]

If Neidhart and Ric Flair made a tag team, would they be called "WooWho"?

[2TEG]

@reivenlocke

hahahahaha

[PabloMGP]

@reivenlocke Hahahahahaha

[17NJDevilsfan]

@reivenlocke LOL

[tastyfleshopopo]

Nacho Libre!!

[samoanfun11]

Good thing I never saw this gimmick, growing up I saw more stranger gimmicks than this...i.e. Giant Gonzales, Aldo Montoya (this one stuck out more, because I saw this gimmick more than any other), Dean Douglas.

[MrAac1984]

WHO and Jake were hitting the stem before this match. Thats why the match only lasted 4 mins. Thats a long time not to suck the glass dick!

[PCnoobcakes]

Must of had a very succesful career with a name like who...

Kid: Mommy i want to go watch WWF live!

Mom: Who do you want to see?

Kid: Yes

Mom Aye?

[TDogg1379V2]

lol Who's Entrance Music

[KittColby]

Who really highlights the problem with Take That gimmicks. Either they're too subtle and nobody gets the reference or you end up with gimmicks like Fake Diesel and Fake Razor Ramon which everyone rolls their eyes at.

[12crestedgeckoboy]

3:10 so funny

[TheMet60]

i think who is jim nidheart

[Fireproofretz]

@TheMet60 you are right

[SES881]

lol " who is the ring "



[SpeakingOfWrestling]

@SES881 lol yep that character was kind of created for the amusement of the who-word. Who won the match?

[SnakeMan227]

I saw this back in '96 and just shook my head. Anvil...Anvil...Anvil....

[RF81]

anvil must have shaved his beard showed up for work, and they gave him the mask.

[darksorcerermusic]

jake the snake looks so happy to be out there. *sarcasm*....that dude was lucky to even get a break years ago...he wasnt a great wrestler...wasnt technical..wasnt strong of buff..... what sorta life would he have had without wrestling??? ...probably a nice office job without the coke, booze, premature balding and depression....

[josep3r3z]

@darksorcerermusic

sorry but jake roberts was a great matt technition

[zZHighTimeZz]

@darksorcerermusic The guy had presence, he came up with the DDT a move at the time that had great impact, he didnt have a massive moveset but he could could wrestler, he was great on the mic and i can remeber every segemnt and promo the guy did and thats something i cant say about alot of wreslters. Maybe Jake having an abusive farther and his sister being a murder victim was enough to hit the bottle and drug addiction yet unlike alot of bitter ex wrestlers hes never blamed the wwe.

[MystikWizard]

I wanted to bad to hear the full song. I don't think they've ever shown a complete entrance from any of Who's 2-3 matches he had.

[FrenchCapone]

its fake dumbo

[outlaw87100]

Yes, obviously a crackhead drunk who doesnt give a fuck about his fans is a hero

[outlaw87100]

Jake isn't fucking charismatic.. he's a drunk cracked out piece of shit.. stop giving props to this scumbag!!!! WTF kinda heroes do u ppl have anyway?

[MrRocked123]

@outlaw87100 Obviously better ones than you :)

[bo0tsy1]

@outlaw87100 Glenn Beck, DUH!

[nhlalwenhlezondo]

I wonder WHO that guy was under the mask, lawls!

[SuperBillythepoet]

Jake the Snake vs Jim Neidhart...

[MrKerwin79]

yes ,, this is jim "advil " as hart foundations

[apolanco602]

who for hall of fame

[therrydicule]

The good thing about "who" - it made Russo quit WWF for WCW... Which might have made easier the attitude era.

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule It made who quit for wCw??

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk Russo was to become the head of creative in wwf, but when he saw that it bring him the idea not to renew his contract in 1999... Which was a good thing for the wwf and the attitude era because that guy was just a bit crazy and needed censorship - he is the guy who named David Arquette as the champ

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule He gave WHO the championship?!

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk No, not who, who never been the world champ... David Arquette been... He also give it to Jeff Jarrett and Ddp.

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule Who did he give it to?!

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk That's what the fans said...

[michaelisajerk]

Who's that yellow guy?

[aed7161989]

@michaelisajerk Exactly.

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk So, you are asking who's who?

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule I'm asking who's in the ring!

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk Well he is ;)

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule Who is?!

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk Yes, literally, who is Jim Neihart, and he is on first base.

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule Who's on first? Who went to jail?

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk Would you prefer having a corn dog?

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule Who? Me?

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk No, I'm asking Abbott and Costello.

[michaelisajerk]

@therrydicule Who let them in the building?

[therrydicule]

@michaelisajerk Jerry Lawler and Vince McMahon, and the next thing they told me is that Watt was on second, Idontknaw on third base and that their short staff was I don't care...

[ChubberGlump]

Neidhart was in great shape here and they put him under a fucking jobber mask gimmick

[ateammember6]

i dont know why they just didnt let Jim The Anvil Neidhart be himself..At this point in time it would have been cool if we could have seen Owen Hart vs The Anvil with Owen as the heel and Anvil as the face..there were alot of potential matches that they could have had over the years and Owen vs Anvil or just Jake vs Anvil could have been some of them

[mason000]

Boy, look at Who. He's a burly man. You could even say he's built like an anvil.

*rimshot*

[michaelisajerk]

@mason000 Who are we supposed to look at?

[11668899]

did Jake the Snake Robert put the Snake on WHO at the end?

[CombatSportFan]

I always loved the Who gimmick. I don't know why, but I did.

[eshepard]

did the anvil get the snake on his chest?

[vinbroccoli]

A drunk, out of shape, balding, coked out Jake still has more charisma than 95% of the current WWE roster.

[AceDagger1]

@vinbroccoli Agree

[WillFoSkill]

@vinbroccoli Wrong.

[TheRealBlackula]

@vinbroccoli I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! PREACH BROTHA PREACH!!!

[ianhitman]

@vinbroccoli no he isnt. he's an embarrassment. A toothless, smelly alcoholic isnt charismatic. Its disgusting.

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

@vinbroccoli wtf does going bald having to do with charisma?

Secondly its quite a common fact that most people get more charismatic and entertaining while under influence. So your statement is kind of erroneous.

[chokeonthatcockBITCH]

@SpeakingOfWrestling If his statement made no sense it wouldn't be thumbed 25 times retard. What are you going bald and take offense? lol try Rogaine bro. A balding drunk old crackhead isn't exactly the picture of charisma, yet he had it. Charismatic generally = young, energetic. Hipster. That's the point. Your statement is worth about as much as a piece of used toilet paper after wiping Jakes ass. Sorry you are going bald at age 20 man. Damn them genetics!

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

@chokeonthatcockBITCH HAHA! 25 people makes a right? thats what you say? I mean I could easily find 25 who would say that nazis should run the world. I could find 25 000 people claiming that insults and physical assaults are the best way to solve problems. I could easily find 25 people claiming Jesus Christ lives in a soap box on Sesame Street. I could also find 25 people believing everything in wrestling is real.

[irongoatball]

@SpeakingOfWrestling I could easily find 2.5 million people that find you boring as fuck!

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

@chokeonthatcockBITCH Now I dont expect you to realise this post hoc ergo propter hoc argumentation fallacy. Kind of funny how most huge wrestling stars have been balding; see Hulk hogan, Macho Man, Stone Cold, The Rock, Kurt Angle, the Undertaker, Batista and John Cena and Randy Orton. So take your 25 people and why dont you create your own religion as well. After all you are 25 people so you GOT TO be right. Ps. I aint going no bald, your penis is bald.

[wrestlingluva]

Does anyone have WHO's theme? I've been searching everywhere...

[JonathanVonErich]

Poor Anvil. :(

[aaronfowlowmusic]

I remember this, I remember his first appearance, and it only took me a couple of minutes to figure out it was Jim Neidhart.

[Inediblehulk]

Definitely no classic.

[Bah2]

1:05...nice bulge..don't remember Jim having a bulge like that....ggrrr

[steadyed]

looks like Jim enjoyed this one ;-)

[tornadotp]

Who? Is he on 1st????

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Who = Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart

[lhwchamp]

....... that SummerSlam sucked

[jamesfam861]

Yes it was! I forgot what Jim Neidhard did, but he was in line for a big push at the time, and he messed up. Jim Neidhart and Owen heart were suppose to be tag team champs when Owen won the King of the Ring. I think he messed up that by using drugs

[Fartingbellybutton]

@jamesfam861 That's Right.

[RNC200711]

Was "Who" a punishment for Jim Neidhart or something?

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

@RNC200711 Vince Russo claimed it was actually supposed to be a rib on Hulk Hogan, believe it or not.

[landrykkb]

@JeffTheFutureJaros Given the colors of Who's mask and tights,that makes perfect sense to me now it was a dig at Hulk Hogan.

[filthiestfish]

@RNC200711 I dont get it because this Who character was presented in the summer of 1996 and Neidhart had last appeared in the WWF in January 1995, so not sure if he did sign a new contract and had no idea what they were going to do with him

[Fartingbellybutton]

That's Jim Neidhart.

[dbostick82]

Who's music sounded worse than Aldo Montoya's.
