Jake "The Snake" Roberts Shoot Interview 2013

www.gfqnetwork.com Jake The Snake Roberts, a legend in pro wrestling, talks about his continuing road to redemption. Shoot interview 2013

[@gordonhatherley5416]

Jake has, and always had, one of the best minds in the business, barr none. Plus his style was always believable, his psychology was unreal, and he was mesmerizing to watch. One of the best to never hold a world title, without a shadow of a doubt. It's too bad that he couldn't keep himself clean. Who knows how far he could have gone? Jake "The Snake" Roberts for HOF 2014!

[@MnMs002]

he went as far as he could ... he was too crude to get to the top... and too old to be a top star in attitude era so he was forever stuck in mediocrity...

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Sounds like Raven. They both have great minds but unfortunately, their drug problems didn't allow them to be writers. :(

[@SuperStrik9]

Best promo cutter ever. Everyone else is "wallowing in the muck of avarice".

[@sharona1981]

I love how honest and straight-up he is, and I respect his opinions. He always comes across as a really cool guy. I'd love to meet him someday-so much stuff I'd like to ask him.

[@shawnbliss]

Jake was one of my favorites growing up watching the WWF so glad you were able to bounce back 😀

[@billaroyamaha2]

Jake. Thank you for the professionalism, the years of fabulous story lines and the snake! I agree with you about the state of wrestling today. Mostly, I want to say, many of us have had our hard times. Love to see you bounce back and into yoga and helping people. Thanks Jake.

[@GeeCoach35]

His legacy is in tact. One of the top 10 overall wrestlers, top 10 talkers, a top 5 heal and a top 5 finishing move. Was delighted to hear he's getting his WWE hall of fame induction.

[@gustavojaxton7877]

Pro trick: you can watch series at kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@marcokashton8279]

@Gustavo Jaxton yea, I've been watching on kaldrostream for since december myself :)

[@kckc6578]

Top 20 maybe

[@cindyroo1957]

great interview Jake has always been honest upfront with his struggles .And has more knowledge which he learned the hard way .But his passion and desire will always be the path he choices .Sometimes bad sometimes good .But he is and will be one of the greatest in the wrestling world. love you Jake and so proud of all the challenges that you have faced and overcome. But you take nothing for granted. You lived what you lived through so much of what you speak of. and always back what you say .

[@TheManCalledStray]

Jake is by far one of my favorite wrestlers growing up. I see how much he's been through and how much has changed. Only increases my respect for the man. Big thanks to DDP for helping him on the path.

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

Really good interview, guys. Best interview of Jake.

[@BruiserBrody420]

jake worked my show in 2001 nice guy

[@bigdaddyGordo]

Wishing jake nothing but the best, always was and will be a fan, happy to see your doing well for yourself , take care and god bless

[@justfromg]

"When you're being abused, you learn how to lie real quick. You learn how to address a situation and know what you have to become to be safe." Sometimes I wonder if Jake got in the wrong profession... Such a great therapeutic activity for Jake to shed the truth about his dark past with complete honesty. I'm sure Mat Men and Jake mutually benefited from a great interview.

[@paul3fun]

the latest old school dvd they have for the old school is the best i've seen so far..Mid South Wrestling!! JYD, Jake , Ted D, Free Birds, Duggan, Hacksaw Reed, the whole video is OFF THE CHAIN!!!

[@ejbrewer9366]

Jake has always been my favorite since day 1 & still is!

[@AndrewZarian]

Thanks guys

[@PapaShawn70]

Jake is so honestly one of the best thinkers in wrestling business.

[@NzoWraith96]

Psychologists* :)

[@janiceprovetti2972]

I love Jake. He is so genuine and I'm so happy he is doing so well.

[@KINGOFOLDSCHOOL83]

Legend!

[@sageantone7291]

Is this the interview where he talks about Haku?

[@chrisbroderick4752]

Great interview. WWE needs Jake back...Best years in WWE history is from 85-92..Everything Jake says is right too. Vince bring back the guys that made your company.

[@nickcastrellon909]

I say give this man a final moment in WWE. I've followed his journey since it began and I am a user of DDP Yoga because of how it's helped Jake, Scott Hall and Arthur Boorman. Could you imagine the incredible crowd pop Jake would get if he comes down the aisle during the Rumble? Even better if DDP would escort him too? Man, that would be awesome and IT WILL up the PPV buyrates big-time.

[@jeffflair]

good stuff......JAKE 'THE SNAKE' ROBERTS.........nuff said !!!!

[@jaydawg261]

We all love you Jake!

[@MrMrMerrick]

God I miss the Jake the Snake character and miss cool characters like him and from his era,, I still watch wrestling to this day but cant help but feel that there is just something missing,, just my two cents, Peace!!!

[@PrepDogg]

Can't wait for his book

[@LTDANMAN44]

jake the snake was my favorite!!

[@CarlosSantiago-oi6nj]

Jake is honestly one of my favorites of all time, and I always liked is promos with Damian

[@oneme63]

Damn I wish he would write for a promotion. Full time.

[@andycarver297]

Dante from "Clerks" is doing shoots now?

[@ironmanxp2003]

I love Jake the snake. U raised me man

[@DrShankenstein]

[@RantinRonnie]

[@4NIGHT0WOLF9]

i love this guy i belive he can do material for tna or roh fcw or nxt

[@jakethemuss3]

Miracle he's still alive.

[@sageantone7291]

I listened to it. Heard nothing about Haku.

[@taproductions4377]

Jakes podcast would be awesome

[@mellindsay6969]

Be great to see jake and macho man in this years hall of fame!!!

[@jungleclimber2]

Great Amazing Interview Gotta Love Jake The Snake Deffo He Needs To Be In The Royal Rumble 2014 He's Over Come So Much He Deserves To Be In There & The WWE Hall Of Fame!! :)

[@Mundane05]

At what part of the video does he start talking about Haku?

[@Chasetherabbit100]

God Bless ya Jake.. .

[@ejbrewer9366]

Jake should do a podcast

[@guysfromqueens]

Thanks Guys for all the great comments!

[@bubbiesdad]

Kevin Sullivan, Ivan Kolloff, Ricky Steamboat. Roddy Piper, when he played the bagpipes before the match.

[@ianp751]

The best talker in the business, bar none.

[@Wyld45]

Those were the days that had me glued. The "Character" era. Sometimes smashing,sometimes goofy,but always entertaining. Jake was always tops with me,even more so than Hulk Hogan was. It will always be WWF with me, screw the "Wildlife Foundation",The Federation was the wildlife.

[@willwyatt]

yes it is jake, got his life back together by getting clean and ddp helped him do all that, ddp actually moves guy in his house and helps them get back together

[@chaoticdays]

If anyone notices when he speaks about Meng/Haku in this video then please let me know.

[@kenRoberts1984]

Hope he does get into the rumble

[@wellok5778]

Compared to the muscle bound monsters in wrestling, Jake is a small guy. But I saw him in London back in 2001 at a wrestling show and the man was pretty big...when compared to the average Joe...very tall especially

[@mrcclamp]

you're not opposing the point here. chrome's saying pretty much 'i hear that tna don't know what they're doing', then you comment in favour of this idea. what's your point man?

[@Chasetherabbit100]

AWESOME

[@Stuart267]

This man's been through hell. His sister being brutally murdered must have changed his mental state forever

[@mike000395]

God bless him. A good heart. Glad he hadn't given in.

[@sasser8487]

It's 5 years later, what's Jake up to now?

[@SlayerLumi]

where does Jake talk about Haku?

[@davecarpenter2517]

Great interview. I really liked the part when jake mentioned his abuse and the interviewer didn't press him on it. Most others would. That shows respect.

[@vdelrio999]

"prowrestling is not nor probably ever will be the same."

[@sicapat1]

is that ddp picture in the background?

[@Inediblehulk]

It's been 18 years since Roberts last eliminated a guy from the Rumble. No matter how many times I do the math, that seems impossible. But Roberts in 2014 seems perfectly obvious. Hell, bring back Godwinn, too. They can settle their score.

[@thefrequencyexchange]

Jake read my thoughts exactly on the current WWE product

[@jojst1]

Steamboat gets DDT'd on the concrete by Jake the Snake.... '86? classic!

[@gregodonnell1570]

Anyone on the search for haku stories?

[@BlackBerserkgasme]

How did you know that?!

[@Jridda10121]

Great job Jake

[@johnnyapplebot]

97-03 were better than those years.

[@macstar2010]

nice one!

[@thatbme35]

DDT. Best finish move ever!

[@impactplayer999]

If Jake comes out at the Royal Rumble 2014 i will lose my shit.

[@mrcclamp]

sorry, i was referring to a comment made my Gordon4life2487. What's your beef?

[@guysfromqueens]

[@sicapat1]

ddp is a class act

[@israeldeleon209]

DDP is a saint

[@elbob17]

You can just say interview. There is no need to use the word "shoot" anymore.

[@wilde1978]

that moustach is giving me the horn

[@vdelrio999]

Given there are several valid reasons why WCW or WWE rose and or fell during the Monday Night Wars, in my opinion, it's probably best and fair to all to say it was ultimately a fluke which has now run it's course. I don't want to watch TNA, WWE, or ROH no matter whom comes back; prowrestling is not nor probably ever will be the same.

[@c0uchsl0uch]

75 - 87 best years jake Roberts freebirds flair and the horsemen roddy piper cactus jack jyd maddog buzz sawyer hot stuff eddie gilbert

[@farseerflore9512]

You could just keep your mouth closed...there is no need to correct everyone on the internet anymore.

[@chrisbroderick4752]

Not Wrestling. He be a good writer of matches and he be good helping talent.

[@ChromeFamily]

Jake should call TNA... I hear they are in need of some creative ideas, if he's serious about doing this, and feels that WWE isn't his pace, maybe TNA would be?

[@jlarsena]

But where did all the leftovers from WWE go, when they were washed up? The WCW was mostly ex-WWE stars like Hulk Hogan who made $700 000 per pay-per-view, who wouldn't? In 1996 the WCW was loosing between 12 to 17 million dollars a year and lost 60 million in 2000, that's minor league in my opinion, there's obviously no viewers. By the time Hulk and Macho were hired, most of us were sick of them already. They had WWE's ex-writter Vince Russo too, so it's like a leftover WWE legends Co.

[@vdelrio999]

Right? And in the extremely unlikely event WWE, because Linda is bucking for another veiled Senate run, were to bring back DX and NWO, I probably wouldn't be compelled to watch it then. Things have changed and people, in and out of the business, have moved on.

[@dillestjamz8713]

31:00 , Right Randy Orton should have been the #1 Wrestler he has it all its just they dont give the pop, Fandango i saw a RAW a couple of weeks ago he is a good wrestler the gimmick gives him the pop he should take advantage of it ..... As for Cena.... Well its been 7 years with the same gimmick

[@jlarsena]

I agree, no one likes a monopoly except the people controlling it. TBH - I haven't watched any wrestling since the late 90s. All I was saying is the WCW was not managed very well if they're losing dozens of millions per year, with better ratings from 96 to 98. When I looked at WCW I saw a bunch of old timers, ex-WWE. The NWO was exactly that, bunch of washed up WWE legends and that was their best story and gimmick. WCW started with WWF legends, then WWE stole their new talent, I agree there.

[@donnietrumpler9832]

he mustve still been sleepin on ddps couch with hall

[@thatbme35]

You left out Mike jackson. Remember ? LoL

[@rogerscottburchett1]

I SEEM JAKE COULDNT EVEN PUT A SHOW ON

[@taproductions4377]

oxy fucked my life like crazy. only 20 now been addicted since 15. I use to get oxycontin 80s and oxycodone 30s for free by making out with a 70 year old lady lol

[@Airsoftcleaner]

The only Wrestler that had more Female fans than him was Rick Rude

[@paul3fun]

and in those 20 minutes all they did was talk right? LOL!!! it's a new generation of fans and they're not really wrestling fans...every now and then while channel surfing i see they have a show called divas, with the female wrestlers.. and they are more of playmates then wrestlers..Mola, Wendy Richtor, Sherry Martel etc...those were female wrestlers..it's a new generation now

[@stansizriak2173]

Love that crack click he does. Clean my ass.

[@jpayne3616]
