Jake Roberts Gets Charming | Hey! (EW), 7/23/23

[@dom-fell]

Jake just rolling with every bit of RJ's nonsense is a beautiful thing

[@LazarheaD]

Such a pleasant conversation.

[@nevarstormdragon]

In fairness Jake comes from a time when Improv was a huge part of being a wrestler when giving promo's/interviews and not knowing exactly what would be asked or said.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@ljavwa3459]

​@@nevarstormdragonHe also comes from a time when the work in the ring itself was improv....

[@SirRavixofFourhorn]

@ljavwa3459 No it was not research Randy Savage and you'll realize even back then wrestlers planned spots.

[@SentinelBayReviews]

We all should build DDP a shrine for saving this man. Such a charming guy, so happy to still see him around.

[@erictate5135]

And the good lord saved Jake the snake to

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

I'm sure his kids would he was charming too....all his time he was cracked out

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@ownknow8161]

*G-D SAVED Aurelian; NOT DDP.*

[@SirRavixofFourhorn]

@ownknow8161 It's fine that you belive in what you believe in but I didn't see God let Jake into his house rent free for years while also allowing him to slip up and go into relapses for his addiction multiple times. While then getting him even healthier then he had been in years and off of drugs successfully like DDP did. No offense to God but it seems like he took a walk when it came to that. Ddp is the closest thing living to a Saint that we have today bar none. He did the work and as usual God takes the credit.

[@happytimes10191]

I love how Jake is relaxed and having fun with this interview.

[@prufrock1977]

One of the very few to play it straight with RJ. But it worked.

[@How1M]

Yeah

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@RipcordVids]

The one time I got to meet Jake, I told him how out of anyone from when I watched as a kid, he scared the absolute shit out of me, and how I appreciated that now as an adult. He smiled, leaned in and put his arm around my shoulder, and just said "that was the whole fuckin point, brother"

[@SOL1DSNAKE420]

That's awesome

[@GraphixJunkie]

I've missed seeing Jake in AEW. It has been nice seeing him active again with Lance Archer. Archer deserves a push.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS dude.

[@joeyz5577]

💯 I thought he should of beat Cassidy for the belt when they popped back up!

[@fredhellsire115]

Would totally dig to see the Muderhawk with Jake have a well-deserved push or even win a title \m/

[@Tiny67]

​@@cliffordjackson3definitely. Imo, Lance Hoyt, aka, archer, should be next AEW champion.

[@GreatestOneDestroyer]

It’s mind blowing how often they build him up only to lose all the big matches

[@PhotonBeast]

Ha! Jake's impression of Randy was top notch! :) Also, RJ was clearly having so much fun and seemed a little starstruck. It was a great wholesome vibe!

[@ElfRightsActivist]

If you don't hate Joe Rogan, Jake's appearance on his show was fantastic. He tells some Macho Man stories and does his impression. Its good stuff!

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@Machtimus]

Jake felt right at home in the chair. Love seeing Jake with a smile R.I.P. John Tenta

[@erniedotson9887]

These last several episodes have been great, Jake was such a funny and entertaining guest.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS dude.

[@Wannabe_Baby]

I love how Jake was on board with everything. I got the feeling RJ liked him a lot.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@mikestarr6634]

RJ is just really funny. He likes everyone.

[@eddiegoofball]

"You couldn't find a cobra that knew how to work?" RJ kills me. Loved this one.

[@Michael8olden]

This was legit the best Hey EW by a country mile Jake has IT was IT,and always will be IT.The charisma in this video is off the charts by both participants thanks AEdub.

[@joehogan8234]

2nd Best. Arn Anderson was the best so far.

[@deddy2339]

Jake Roberts is a treasure.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@badaimrage5633]

The fact that Jake can roll with it and laugh is something I never thought I would ever see... I'm still stunned and REALLY happy how he has changed.

[@ryanbest9445]

I loved that Jake went along with everything, such a GOAT

[@hypieharry7307]

Very good interview and Jake played along with it perfectly. I loved the opening line "I have some lozenges if you need one" 😂😂😂

[@MisterGravelrama]

I had to watch this three times because I was laughing over the following jokes each time. No hyperbole, this is the NEW, best Hey EW episode ever. "Magnifico!"

[@mrbluesteen]

Nantucket in the Fall is Beautiful!! 💚

[@ThatGumYouLiked]

Seeing Jake smiling and lucid and thoughtful is really really beautiful. Everyone deserves redemption.

[@Metaldad87]

"you couldn't find a snake that knew how to work?" That had me rolling lol Great interview I love how Jake is just playing into it completely. Yes he was one of the best talkers because he didn't yell so you actually had to listen close and pay attention to his promos so you really knew what he said.

[@wstine79]

I like how Jake The Snake would do a promo very quiet and calm yet menacing. It was as effective as his snakes biting his opponents.

[@jimbo_1312]

Honestly, his chilled out promo style was such a nice break from all the pomp and overly shouty brother brother promos of the era.

[@sampleoffers1978]

Funny when he's talking natural every sentence is blood curdling, but when he reads copy it's hey cool them hammer whispers Baldwin

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@DadansterGfaqs]

This may be the best episode yet! Jake and RJ just worked so well together and seemed to have genuine fun.

[@markell60]

So glad to see Jake doing so good...the man is a true LEGEND & has won the biggest match he can win.. against his demons & the hand he was dealt in this life. Keep up the GREAT job Mr.Roberts, you got life's championship belt.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@Hopeless-Worth]

jake turning red and holding his laugh after "I will not bite it" does it for me, looks like he had a lot of fun with this

[@wilhelm2608]

Man, I just love Jake so much.

[@ryanzsiros9617]

RJ this is one of the best things aew is doing lol. Every episode is better and better hahaha thank you for the entertainment 😂

[@WriteNowandLater]

Jake looked like he had fun doing this show. - "Nothing is more beautiful than Nantucket in the Fall." 😄

[@Phyrrax]

Good to see him well and kicking. I really enjoyed his presence in the early AEW days and was a bit worried that we havent heard from him in such a long time. Much love, Jake.🐍❤

[@NernySim]

“Vern” training the snake that bit Jake…..to damn funny!!!

[@drmgiverdrmgiver5335]

The second Nantucket was perfect and actually made me want to go. That guy could sell anything.

[@Djiehh]

I love Jake Roberts like barely any other person I've never met in my life. He's comes across like he's the nicest person imaginable.

[@HombreGermany]

"I liked Avatar better when it was called FernGully" I'm dead! 🤣🤣🤣

[@markcarroll2257]

Love seeing this side of Jake

[@nailsandny6894]

This was fantastic! Jake didn’t miss a trick with RJ!

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@Michael_Raymond]

"Why didn't you get a snake that knew how to work" is one of the best interview questions I've ever heard. Absolutely fucking sent me

[@Primetime210]

This is the most funniest interview ever. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was laughing all the way. Keep up the amazing work

[@joe_krogan]

God bless jake. He may be old now, but his wit is sharper than a razor.

[@frenchcookie42]

Love RJ and Jake both knowing what cbt stood for and having to clarify "no no, the other one."

[@filmskoolfulci9183]

This is honestly beautiful to see Jake having fun here.

[@josiahwillis1680k]

"Why are you afraid to twirl" Heyyy bro RJ is hilarious but Jake's face 😂🤣

[@robertgarcia9070]

Never have I seen Jake the Snake this happy and smiling. I thought he was always angry at the world.

[@FatherJacksBrick]

This is one of the best shall we say “improv” episodes with Jake. 😂

[@_Pauper_]

Jake is a wrestling treasure. So happy he is still here.

[@JohnnySabu]

One of my favorite episodes of Hey EW! Jake was hilariously charming and glad to see he is in good and healthy spirits.

[@RANDOMLOOPGENERATOR]

Thanks DDP and thanks AEW, it's truly heartwarming to know Jake is still amongst it and striving, the journey he's been through in life would have ended many of us long ago...

[@therealmccoy269]

Jake is still sharp! Hes a funny dude. Good to see him better and in good health.

[@Deadseelife]

Fucking lost it at …”just like jazz.” It’s the shit that RJ mumbles under his breath that shows his absolute comedic genius. Love you, RJ!

[@ChrisSuswal-de9tj]

In RVD's podcast he responded to a fan who was "concerned" about Rob's lungs due to his voice. RVD, a cannabis connoisseur as you all know, defended his lungs saying they've been checked out and hes good. The deed sound is due to "wrestlers voice." The way Jake describes being hit in the throat I think I finally get it

[@stone2k]

10:16 I need to figure out how to get "shoes off in the house" to play when my front door opens!

[@DrLynch2009]

I have never seen RJ smile that much in an interview like he did in this one. He was truly fanboying.

[@tonypaul9481]

"how many zoos do you have?" "I got em everywhere" lmaoo Jake is hilarious

[@marleensrain]

i love this one too lol WE NEED A DDP EPISODE

[@Jamvaan]

"When you see Sting in the hallway, do you ever just apologize?" "Never." I love it.

[@cliffordjackson3]

BRUH😂.

[@NowUndefined]

I loved this so much! Thanks to Jake for taking time to entertain us and RJ, as professional as ever

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@canderia]

It's great to see Jake happy and healthy.

[@michaelnugent9758]

Hell yeah

[@michaelnugent9758]

Jake is still so sharp! RJ is the man, as well. Love the dude!

[@chrisbg99]

Knowing all of Jake's trouble around the turn of the century it is great to see him looking well and having fun doing what he is doing. This episode was great. Showed off the great wit with his relaxed demeanor. You can tell that RJ didn't have to do much work for this one.

[@SOL1DSNAKE420]

Holy shit I've NEVER in my life seen Jake smile this much on camera

[@scottamann2445]

RJ interviewing the veterans is the best! Seeing my childhood heroes having so much fun is amazing.

[@iandavidson5236]

It's so amazing to see absolute legends of wrestling just sit there and embrace RJ and his humour!

[@docholliday7226]

RJ - "Back to Bob Roop, this guy really saved you" Jake - "He gave me a push" 🤣

[@deansullivan212]

Honestly i could listen to jakes theme then watch this hes the GOAT

[@micahstwistedtattooco.8625]

Great interview. You do a very good job.

[@skogen_takeheimens]

Dude I’m 30 years old and Jake the snake Roberts is still on my tv 😂😂😂 I’m very blessed to have grown up to see him and sting wrestling when I was a kid

[@joeplem5329]

Thank you DDP for saving this man's life!!!!

[@dhag72]

i must say, Jake does a great Macho Man impression! that was spot on lol. also he looks to be in pretty good shape! good on him, no oxygen etc. atta boy

[@lady_pam40]

This was awesome! Loved Jake sarcasm of saying “Hey…” This became a personal fav episode. Well done❤

[@TolerancEJ]

Love the episode! Excellent dialogue back and forth. Very entertaining. I felt that Jake was genuinely amused as well. He’s likely heard every possible question throughout his years of being interviewed, until this moment.

[@armysheep75]

These interviews are great... this one is greater er est..

[@maverickvankennen1250]

Absolutely blessed video. Thank you

[@HeadlockHeel]

"I liked Avatar better when it was called Fern Gully" 😆 Factually correct 👍

[@Mil_Buri]

Thought Jake wasn't going to be around much longer with his last health scare. So good to see him and he looks like he's in good health again. One of my favorites of all time.

[@SenorAzazel]

I wish wrestlers would talk like *Jake The Snake* when they do promos because when he talked he had your attention with everything he said

[@peterflagle5446]

It’s the eye contact and the low voice. You pay attention to every word and every word mattered.

[@Misconduct24]

Lance Archer has done a few promos that way.

[@ForTheLoveOfAudio]

Imagine RJ City and Narduar the Human Serviette interviewing one another...

[@charlieochoa1861]

Loved the jokes and references 🤣

[@GemSquash96]

This was absolutely delightful, and it's so good to see Jake doing well He seems like he had fun with this

[@CallumRSU30]

Some of the most fun and enjoyable episodes have been with the "old guard", I'm talking J.R., Arn Anderson and now Jake!

[@lostnthenoise]

Stone Mountain is one stone. All the rest if the mountains are Stones Mountain. And now I'm humming.Street Fighting Man. And now you are too.

[@patrickjohnson1649]

8:35 1991, Had Killer Promos against Randy Savage. Trust Me.

[@dice_fumbler]

Jake's still laid back and cool. He's a Legend.

[@tommydeamon7657]

That cobra bitting randy was awsome talk about a priceless moment tgat might never ever be toped

[@adam2O]

Jake “the snake” Roberts is one the best pro wrestlers in the ring and on the mic. Absolute legendary career. Even gave the Austin 3:16 gimmick to Stone Cold.

[@stevadore]

“Please no cilantro” got me real good.

[@jansmitowiczauthor78]

Jake was one of the guys that most influenced me as a young kid to love wrestling on an *emotional* level. Whether loving him as a badass babyface or being utterly terrified by his heel work, I was utterly MESMERMIZED.

[@ShadyDBZ4]

5:53 OMG!! Jakes Randy Savage impersonation was awesome right! Ooooh yeeeeah!!!

[@Powerball247]

Finally we’re back to decent episodes longer then 4 minutes.

[@michaelwarholak6241]

This has honestly been my favorite one to date. It’s been incredible seeing Jake get to be such a character. So glad to have him with us still.

[@rkbranded]

This man is a treasure! Absolutely wonderful seeing Jake looking vibrant and joyous.

[@DCXCoorexDakarCoore]

Jake the snake is a Legend!!!! 💯🔥❤

[@ADOTGDOT1987]

Love that Jake has been active in the wrestling business despite all his hardships. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@graefx]

That was incredible. Jake is unflappable

[@Mandy_Savage]

I adore Jake so much. He's the absolute best

[@joeutofka4215]

jake the snake being forced to reference fern gully.... my new favorite thing!

[@powertrip25]

Played Snake Jazz from Rick and Morty through all of this lol

[@karolmoore1076]

Met Jake for a photo op a few years ago. He was the sweetest man! So endearing! Still one of my fave wrestlers of all time.

[@workedfool]

Jake is such a trooper bless him

[@herzfeldji]

Growing up in the 80's Jake was my absolute favorite. I remember my grandfather taking me to my first wrestling event when he was going against Earthquake. I am so pleased to see him surviving his addictions and making it out the other side and thank you DDP for helping along the way.

[@gonzalezjason143]

Glad to see jake in good spirits

[@chriswillis1585]

Bob Roop and Jake in Mid-South - GREAT TIMES,

[@prufrock1977]

My favorite when I was growing up. This was a treat.

[@BrentAlanRoss]

Love Jake, this was awesome. I got to meet him in Pittsburgh a couple of months ago. His tour he is doing is fantastic.
