1. Jake Roberts Says He Didn’t Need The WWF Championship
During a recent interview with FOX Sports, WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts talked about “Resurrection of Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts” documentary, not winning the WWF Championship & more. Below are the highlights:
On The Feedback To “Resurrection of Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts”:
“The feedback from the movie is awesome, I’m now on the road doing comedy, I’m going into bars and speaking in bars and watching people push their drink back because I’m hitting home on them. We’ve been able to help a few people on their way to sobriety. We pull people out the bar scene, sit down with them and have a serious talk about addiction. It’s awesome. That’s what I’m here for. These are my people, man. These are the ones I was supposed to be here for.”
On Never Winning The WWF World Championship:
“I never won it, which I didn’t get any opportunities for either, that’s the reason I never won it. It is what it is. I feel like I never had a belt because I simply didn’t need it. I kind of walked my own walk, did my own talk, and it wasn’t something I needed to show up my Hall of Fame career. I was usually in different cities than Hulk Hogan was. They can explain it better than I can. I think I would have been a great champion, I think I could have put rear ends in seats, I think they could have done a lot worse than having me as a champion. You know, it’s alright with me. It doesn’t take away the sweetness. It really doesn’t.”
On Telling Vince McMahon That Steve Austin Would Become The Next Big Star Of The WWF:
“I’d been helping Steve for a while, and he would call me and tell me what was going on. I was a big supporter of Steve before anybody else was. In fact, Vince McMahon had told me that this guy is midcard at best. I disagreed with him; I said, this guy is gonna be your next ‘blow it out of the water’ guy. I hate when I’m right, but boy, I was right!”
On Not Liking His Feud With Sting:
“He was very lackadaisical, didn’t want to ramp it up. I didn’t enjoy it. Bottom line. I didn’t enjoy it. It’s one thing to go out there and tip your hat and go at it and try to have a great night. But when you go out there and you know the guy across from you just doesn’t have his heart in it, [get out]! It’s a shame.”
