Jake 'The Snake' Roberts Shoot Interview

[Barback]

Aurelian Smith, Jr. (born May 30, 1955 in Gainesville, Texas), is a second-generation American professional wrestler and the son of former wrestler Aurelian "Grizzly" Smith. He is best known by his ring name of Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

Roberts is arguably best known for his two stints in the World Wrestling Federation—the first between 1986 and 1992, and the second between 1996 and 1997—though he also wrestled in World Championship Wrestling in 1992 and the Mexico-based Asistencia Asesoría y Administración between 1993 and 1994 and again in 1997.

Throughout his career he was known for his intense and cerebal promos, his dark charisma, his extensive use of psychology in his matches, and has been credited for inventing the DDT, though that has been challenged. He is also credited with training the wrestlers Diamond Dallas Page and Raven, as well as teaching much about wrestling psychology to his on-screen enemies, Steve Austin and the Undertaker.

Jake was the shit......DDT you......and then go in the duffle bag and grab damien and throw the snake on top of them

 

[LeroyDibiase]

Man, I thought Jake had died. I swear that nigga really did know the devil cause he is cheating death. Steroids, alcohol, CRACK, and heavy drugs and this nigga is STILL kicking.

 

[Upgrade Dave]

If you never saw Jake before his time in WWF, then you missed some really good stuff, particulary his main event time in Mid-South for Bill Watts and Georgia for Ole Anderson.

 

[Curtwalk]

Whew!!!

I thought you was gonna say he had died

 

[marcvoi]

me too I thought this was about him dying ...

 

[THE GREAT ONE]

Well Considering Everyone That Has Died This Past 2 Weeks
It Would Seem About Right
Thank God It's Not

 

[Detroit's finest]

I though this was a Rest In Peace Post to him and his snake in a bag. He was a favorite of mine along with PAPA SHANGO.

Papa Shango? Okay, to each his own. Actually, I thought the gimmick and character could have been good but after the early push and big feud with the Ultimate Warrior, it was over. He did much better as the Godfather.

Dude who was Papa Shango was also that Godfather dude...

 

[KA$H]

Man, I thought Jake had died. I swear that nigga really did know the devil cause he is cheating death. Steroids, alcohol, CRACK, and heavy drugs and this nigga is STILL kicking.

Me too, I thought that this was gonna be some type of memorial to him...

Injury to Cena

Let me share with you my thoughts and speculations on why, how, and what is occurring with most of those injured. When the expectations are so high and the available qualified talent pool is so low, there will be those put into positions not ready to perform at the level presented. The product demands are so high and the talent unable to get the ring time to hone their skills that many are thrust into action whom aren't ready. When I say ready, it has nothing to do with physical prowess as the athletes today are in much better shape than those of yesteryear. It has to do with ability to deliver a psychological performance that entices the fan to buy and accept those in the ring.

All the athletes today can do moves not even imagine, dreamed, or CONSIDERED by those in the past. But consider this, we did not need to risk, chance injury to our opponent, or believe that a move made a match.

Those out there today chance crippling themselves and opponent with the thought that unbelievable move will make the match. At least that was it early on. But now they are sure that it will take several career and life risking moves that will get them the gold star of approval. Stated as plain as I can say it, it doesn't take a great wrestler to jump 20 foot off of a cage onto a table. It takes a complete idiot. Nor one to get a hit a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire, jump off ladder, or from the top rope to the floor, and so on and so on...

The short cut may get you to the finish line or a position wanted, but it won't keep you there. At some point, you must DELIVER as you can only top crap with more crap, for so long. Once exposed as crap or seen through as an idiotic stuntman, the trip down the ladder will be quick and unrelentless.

Bottom line, when you can no longer top your last death defying leap to purgatory, you'll be tossed to the side. If you think you're the only one who would risk crippling themselves for a shot at the big dance, you are a fool.

Don't be foolish and think should an accident (there aren't accidents) happen, they will find a different pony to run the race. Fact is more serious injuries have occurred in the last 15 years than in the previous 100 years. I'd guarantee it. Are the wrestlers today better than those of years gone by? Hell, no. It is a shame that none of the stars today will last unless they learn how to perform and capture people's imagination emotionally, not visually. That is where you separate the cream from the crap. Learn your business before you try to take the bull by the horns. Example, would you do heart surgery on your Mother while in the first year of medical school?

I watch today and see all of the blocked shots, misses, and unsuspected moves and I cringe. Learn your art, men and women. Sad to say but those day probably won't survive long enough to learn.

why oh why did jake the snake not get a intercontinental title run

 

[LeroyDibiase]

Jake knows so much about the wrestling business, I wish he'd get clean and TNA would hire him like they just did Mick Foley. This man has all the tools. Here's my favorite Jake clip.
