Jake Roberts on Ricky Steamboat Feud!

[@cacallis86]

for a person who did a lot of drugs he never wanted to hurt anyone (but him) that speaks volumes for me about the snake

[@snakemandeven]

Are you really believing this bullshit?

[@MrAitraining]

I've never heard anyone say (steamboat included) Jake ever tried to hurt them or fuck them over, so I absolutely believe this story.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

@@snakemandeven It sounds plausible, sir. Plus, I remember seeing Rick Steamboat after the DDT incident on the concrete a few weeks afterward. He still looked like a bus hit him😒

[@XxowendanxX]

I heard he got arrested in England for animal abuse. I believe they said he let one of those snakes starve to death. The article didn't provide any evidence but if it's true then I really don't like him.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

@@XxowendanxX He got a fine and some kinda verbal warning, Mr. Price. I remember when it happened years ago. The WWF was doing a European tour and stopped iver in the U.K. for several days. I believe it was in Manchester??

[@nguyendailam6703]

You can tell Jake respected Steamboat.

[@StuUngar]

Everyone respected Steamboat

[@adamglasgow9268]

100%

[@jonestraloma]

He respected the integrity of his finisher even more. They could have coordinated a better way. Camera angles for starters. I love Jake but he wqs stubborn as fuck about his finisher. He probably cringes at every wwe ddt after 98.

[@JasonNation72]

I remember Jake saying in another interview doing that concrete DDT on Steamboat was definitely the lowest point of his career because he held him such high regard. It's a miracle both lived to talk about it almost 40 years later.

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

I remember Bobby Heenan's commentary when Roberts delivered the DDT to Steamboat on the concrete. He said, "I smell pineapple juice." LOL

[@BIRISHPM]

Only The Brain could come up with that remark. Truly one of a kind.

[@Halloween111]

When I was in Jr High, two kids got into a fight that ended with the winner giving the losing kid (Who started the whole thing) a DDT on the floor of the hallway. Those floors were concrete under a real thin carpet. The kid went to the hospital for a while because of it and wore a neck brace for a few weeks after he came back.

[@jdspreest]

Jake is a legend, man. There'll probably never again be a wrestler like him.

[@jasondenham560]

Jake talking old skool wrestling is tremendous

[@jpm4444]

Jake was old school and wrestler safety was important to him. In another interview he said it's still a regret of his. He really liked Ricky and still feels bad about it.

[@GeorgeSquare]

It tells you what sort of team player and gentleman Ricky Steamboat was that he was willing to take that sort of damage/injury just to repay a favour to the booker to help the booker hold his position. You won't get many guys willing to do that, I bet.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Can't say I'd blame them considering the circumstances of the returned favor, sir. He's very fortunate he didn't end up permanently injured from the maneuver👌 There was an angel on his shoulder that day, or it'd doubtful he would be here today😒

I remember when Jake "The Snake" Roberts was in World Class Wrestling, along with the Von Erichs, Chris Adams, Gino Hernandez, and Iceman King Parsons. He tongue kissed a blonde valet before one of the matches, probably Precious, i don't remember, and i thought he was a real Badass. When he came to the wwf i was really excited. Good Times

[@htxoriginal8619]

Nobody does a better interview than Jake the snake or Ricky Morton

[@kevinp7300]

After all these years, now I know the true story about the DDT on the concrete. I couldn’t tell if it was real or not. But crap it was real on this occasion. The DDT was one of those moves that was scary to watch. Just like the pile driver. But Jake made a great heel that’s for sure!

[@glensobchyshyn7483]

Anyone that knows how to work knows you can do a DDT on any surface and be fine.

[@TheMegamario64]

Cena took a ddt on concrete :/

[@cherokeeanna969]

Jake-son!! not jackson

[@solank7620]

Anna Young Didn’t think of that. Would be funny if Ricky was calling him Jake-san, and to this day Jake thinks it was Jackson.

[@quentin3330]

Solan K lol..ya true. Anna makes a good point. Hmmm... maybe she's right. Interesting.

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Jake the snake Roberts is the old timer who if AEW were smart they would hire to teach the young guys ring psychology

[@MF-pm5dh]

"jackson. cmon, man! do it for me!" - steam boat -well. there's that. he asked for it. or actually, Demanded that shit with mad conviction lmao straight stupidity.

[@stevew6910]

If you watch the DDT you can see Jake was releasing the arm placement on the way down, So it didnt drive the head home , It gave Ricky a chance to block, But Jake was right, No dam way can a man sell it and block it, Steamboat at least needed a gel pad for a head band

[@nwojunkie]

Komodo dragon? that was a tiny alligator!

[@ricardorivera5854]

+Spellbinder When Steamboat first brought it out (during a WWF Superstars taping where he scared the crap out of Jake with it) it was a Komodo Dragon. But after that, Steamboat would show up with a baby Alligator instead. I don't know why though. Maybe the Dragon was too dangerous and the Alligator was easier to handle.

[@novusmundi]

+Ricardo Rivera Komodo dragons have a poisonous bite that paralyzes you. They are extremely dangerous when full grown.

[@nwojunkie]

novusmundi no they don't, their mouth is full of so much bacteria you literally start to rot after a few hours

Wait, I thought his wife was part of the Savage incident where he drove the bell into Rick's throat??

[@biggkoz]

If wrestling is not real why did Jake have to actually give him a DDT? Couldn’t he just have gone through the motions and pretend he hit his head on the concrete? It doesn’t make any sense.

Dead weight.

[@Opheggie54]

It didn't look like like there was any work involved that looks very real. Steamboat was barely conscious

[@HearBobbyRoar]

You can protect someone doing a DDT on concrete. Jake is full of shit. He just wanted to hold Ricky's head full on to protect his own gimmick. All you do is lighten the pressure on someone's neck when you take the back bump, which allows the person's head who is taking the DDT to slip out and not have their head driven into the ground, which is how everyone trying to protect someone delivers a DDT. Jake is full of shit. Ask any pro wrestler.

[@newblack766]

Jake couldn't sell DDT on floor? How. Is he pro
