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 why he decided to become a heel in FCW.
Roberts said, “Just broken promises, man. Broken promises and the opportunity to go to Florida and try something new. You know, I’d never worked heel at the time. And going to Florida and being tagged up with Kevin Sullivan, I was definitely going to be a heel.”
On his opportunity to compete in FCW:
“Absolutely, 100%. I was excited, man, I was really excited.”
On why he went to FCW:
“Well, to be around Dusty [Rhodes], because I knew I could learn more there. And the opportunity to be heel, you know? And being promised the top spot.”
On how he ended up there:
“I just picked up the phone and called [Dusty].”
