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 WWE using Zeus to work with Hulk Hogan and if he was jealous because of it.
Roberts said, “What a lucky motherf***er. That’s what I thought… Sure. I was jealous a little bit.”
On whether he got to know Zeus and why the locker room resented him:
“Sure didn’t. He kind of did his own thing. Man, he had his own locker room. You know, he was getting carte blanche, man. So I didn’t fit… Yeah, people — I think everybody resented it.”
On understanding why WWE did the storyline:
“Sure it was [smart business]. He’s selling tickets for the theater, man. He’s trying to spark interest for it, you know? It was great business on Vince’s part.”
