just subbed , huge wwf wwe fan since 1986 , i know mark wont remember this , or maybe he will , but it was either Rock Bottom ,or Monday Night Raw here in Vancouver , 1999 , 2000 i beleive , but me and my best friend Shawn we went to YVR airport and we got to see the Undertaker , walking past customs security , right beside us where we were waiting , and Undertaker had a security guy , he was about 5 foot 8 bull 350 solid pounds , he stuck his arm out and said no pictures, anyways we still laugh about the whole thing , Taker looked tired but he did say whats up , so that was cool , cheers PK Vancouver

[@epa316]

Undertaker became a "good guy" by stopping Jake from hitting Elizabeth with a steel chair, and then, on the Funeral Parlor, Jake straight up asked him, "Whose side are you on?" Undertaker said, "Not yours!" He was cheered from then on.

[@Supreme_Valentine]

His run from 1990 to 95 doesn't get enough credit due to that being a down period and some of his opponents. That match with Yokozuna at Royal Rumble 1994, had no right being as good as it was given the style of the match.

[@aidanlynn]

Jake was honestly lightyears ahead of his era. He didn't have angles and matches, he told stories. And his character was so brilliant; balancing out the creepy dark-side with a normal realistic person. Jake The Snake wasn't a make believe monster from a fantasy story. He's that weird uncle or neighbor who doesn't seem quite right and who's house you'd be nervous to go to on Halloween.

[@JeremiahEcks777]

And it turns out, in real life, Jake Roberts wasn't quite right!

[@darinfry1543]

​@JeremiahEcks777 and for good reason sadly. Good to see him doing well finely here later in life

I always said Jake was your mom's biker brother with a snake pet that the rest of the family hated but you grew up thinking was the coolest guy ever.

[@JeremiahEcks777]

@@darinfry1543 True. Grizzly Smith was a piece of work. He's only remembered for being 'Jake's Dad' whereas Jake is remembered for being one of the legit greats. He's a guy that the other greats say is great. Like Taker.

[@dr.floridamanphd]

What modern fans call storylines the old timers call angles. And Jake most definitely had matches. But the storytelling aspect was done in the ring back then. The promos were short, sweet, and to the point. Their whole purpose to build the angle around the program (the guy he was working with) so you’d go to the house shows. That’s where they made their money and why they worked 300+ days a year. Unless you were Hulk Hogan and then you worked 600 days a year because you were flying back to Japan everyday and crossing the international date line 😂 But I agree. Jake was a master craftsman who elevated everyone he worked with. He even made the job guys look good!

[@VinlandicSoul]

“By the time I got to the ring, My match was half over!” That line killed me 😂😂

[@markmonroe652]

Jake was a face more than he was a heel in WWE. He was a heel in 1986, then 1987-mid 1991 he was a face, then finished his last 8 months in WWE as a heel.

[@rabidsalvation9021]

[@jermaineivey4699]

My fave WM (partly due to the amazing banter with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan) and Bret v Piper definitely is one of my fave all time matches

[@miraclesage8622]

Taker is quite humble to not include himself in his mount rushmore of wrestlers. He was extremely influential to many wrestlers today and important to the legacy of wrestlemania.

[@kellijones6481]

It’s like what Taker said about Paul Bearer when he was talking about his Mount Rushmore of wrestling managers. Undertaker IS the whole mountain. When you look at the eras of the WWE over the past three and a half decades and the top guys in that company, from Hogan/Savage, to Bret/HBK, to Austin/Rock, to Cena and eventually today with Roman Reigns, there’s been one constant and that’s The Undertaker. He’s in a category all by himself

[@brettpritchard265]

I sort of feel like Taker doesn't go on most people's mount rushmores; not because he's not good enough but that he's the Undertaker, the phenom. I truly believe that in the history of wrestling and the minds of most wrestling fans he stands apart independently and has a whole mountain to himself.

[@mecha2001]

Then Jake locking your hand in the coffin, hitting you with the chair as you stalked him dragging the coffin. The match itself, Heenan sold that match so well on commentary.

[@stephenblack5425]

I lot of people wanted Jake the Snake to be the sinister higher power of the ministry instead of Vince.

[@newageassholes]

Would have probably got the ministry hooked on meth and cocaine.

[@q.h.s5051]

As well it should’ve been. The corporate ministry basically ruined the Ministry gimmick for many people including Taker himself (from an old interview I found). I love Ministry Taker so much but going from destroying the entire corporation to joining forces with them makes zero sense. The group was designed to kill the corporation and anyone else in their way and that’s what it should’ve stayed as

[@noname-wz5ww]

....um....no...that was never a thing...if by "a lot of people" you mean Z E R O people, then yes.."a lot of people" wanted jake in the ministry.

[@NLaBar]

During that time period, Jake needed help from a higher power himself… don’t think he could’ve played one on tv while in that headspace

[@waseemasghar3159]

True, he did get up, but still took him 20-30 secs to get up from both and Jake didn't go for the pin. Great way of still protecting the DDT.

Jake actually was a Prototype of Undertaker. It didn't matter whether they were babyface or heel- people were fans of them anyways because of his character and gimmick. My very first actionfigure was Jake(still have it) not Hulk Hogan or Warrior even though I was a huge of them as well. Jake had Damian and Undertaker had Paul Bearer. Both gimmicks worked perfectly with each other.

[@undertaker4700]

Great stories and Taker is on my Rushmore as the top reason for wrestling heritages being what it is now. He made sure that wrestling is respected and professional at all times. Plus, he's the greatest keyfab character of all time. He represents what a hardwork represents. He earned everything he got. He made himself what he is today and no one can take away that from him. A legendary career that can be told to generations to come. Always thrive to better and never be content.

[@binkymagnus]

Jake Roberts is the all time greatest promo. the fact that he carried a recorder around with him like a songwriter or journalist shows you where his head was and how seriously he took it. as for Jake as the first actually scary guy, you have to understand the escalation of violence that was in the DDT. so much of wrestling was punches, kicks, submissions, clotheslines. Jake's DDT was like watching a snuff movie. my mom actually tried to ban WWF in our house twice, when Jake laid the DDT on Ricky Steamboat and when Jake sicced that snake on Macho Man (that was on Saturday morning btw, when kids were watching in their PJs!). Jake was pure malevolence.

Ultimate Warrior was my guy until the Dead Man came along. I was 10 years old when Taker stuffed the Warrior in that casket on the funeral parlor. Yooooo that had me in tears. lol However, there was something about that Undertaker character that was very intriguing. Even as a super bad guy I just had to watch him wrestle and see his creepy promos. Taker turned face on SNE 1992. They didn't air that back stage incident with Jake until next Saturday on Superstars. When I think of classic Undertaker moments from that era it has to be when Jake showed up at the funeral parlor and slammed Taker's hand in the casket. Taker slowly stalked Jake back to the locker room with his hand stuff in the casket. Sick!!!! I missed those days. I would love to meet Taker at a signing one day. The Mfn G.O.A.T imo

Old school wrestling will never be topped and everyone should go back as Mark says" the match is half over before I get to the ring" because wrestling isn't about the in ring, but the whole story from beginning to end, every layer, every chapter and the ride you are taken on..

the match between Jake and Undertaker was being built long before the Survivor Series 1991, this is when the WWF had long range visions. The seed for the WM8 match were being planted in the summer of 1991 during his feud with the Ultimate Warrior.

I watched it when it happened. People liked Undertaker, and wanted a reason to cheer him. It is very exciting to see him save Miss Elizabeth.

I have 2 mount rushmores. the 1st one is status and fame and helping put pro wrestling main stream. That list goes 1. Hogan (peak years 1984-2006) 2. Ric Flair (peak years 1981-2006) 3. Steve Austin (peak years 1996-2003) 4. Randy Savage (peak years 1(1985-2000) you see how with the exception of Austin who had a more electric 7 year stretch than arguably anyone else, the other three's prime was basically their entire careers. They were never out of style or off. My other mount rushmore is mainly dedicated to charisma, coolness, and in -ring ability. it goes like this: 1. Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig 2. Razor Ramon Scott Hall 3. Bret Hart 4. Undertaker.

I WISH Randy was still alive so he could be on Taker's show. That would be such an amazing caste

Given what I know about Jake the Snake, I'm impressed he even made it to wrestling, let alone achieve what he achieved in terms his legendary status. His story is one of my favorite redemption stories.

[@insertgoodname4809]

Jake's promos were legendary. Arguably the best ever committed to film.

[@IwantMOOREDemi]

Jake's promo for this match was one of the best of his career. "The DDT is where it lies Big Man" great line from Jake.

[@ThePhenomm]

Jake was probably the only 1 at the time to fully turn Undertaker face.

The 80s era for wrestling and starting the wrestlemanias was the best thing that could have happened to the WWF. Been to some of the greatest matches back then and being to a Saturday nights main event was thrilling as a teen back in the day. I think the downfall to wrestling was taking the roids out of wrestling. It was like taking hot air out of a ballon and just watchit fizzle down.

That was my first wrestlemania. I had been a wrestling fan, but really didn’t pay attention to the WWF that much in the 80s and less Hulk Hogan was on TV but me and my friends and all of our parents none of them really watch WWF. It was always WCW but in 1991 a lot of WCW guys were popping up on WWF TV and a lot of us started watching WWF along with WCW at the time. I wouldn’t say wrestlemania 8 is ever going to make anyone’s top five best wrestlemania of all time or anything like that, but it was always one of my favorites. How the stadium looked, the atmosphere, and even though it was a main event and the actual main event wasn’t the greatest match, it had a lot of star power. And honestly as a kid back then I really couldn’t tell you if it was a good match or not. It was just wanting your favorite wrestler to win the match. You didn’t care how pretty it looked. You were just emotionally invested. Now today it’s all about trying to get Dave Meltzer to suck you off and there’s no emotion at all involved. But that wrestlemania eight Had so many legends on it that were still in their prime, some of them were getting towards the end of their prime. Some of them were just hitting their prime, some were right in the middle, but you had Hogan, Flair , Savage, Sid , Undertaker, Jake Roberts, HBK, Tito Santana, Brett Hart , Piper , etc. god I miss those days.
