WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts took to an episode of his Snake Pit podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including wrestlers using the DDT.
Roberts said, “I thought it was great, you know? I just hate it when they don’t do it right, okay? So watch some film, guys. Figure it out. It’s not that hard. So there’s only one or two people that do it right. Oh, yeah, I’ve known those feelings for a long time. I’m good [with people using it].”
On Adrian Adonis using the original DDT before he did during their time in the WWF:
“He used the original DDT before I did in the WWF. He was using it as his finisher. And when I came in, that was one of the deals that got him off my f**king finisher. That’s mine.”
How Dutch Mantell had a good mind for the business as a booker:
Roberts said, “Yeah, he had a good mind for the business where he could book.”
