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 how Griff Garrison is a great guy to be around and how he is someone AEW should put their focus on.
Roberts said, “He’s a great guy to be around. So I can’t see him being hard to deal with. It just, it’s just something that’s going to take time. You know, you gotta focus on these people. You can’t put ’em out there one week and say, okay, show us what you got and expect a whole lot of anything. It just doesn’t work that way. You gotta put him in situations where he has to get over. That takes time. It also takes talent. You gotta feed him, somebody. You can’t work your way up the ladder without beating a few people. Exactly. In a singles match, he’d be fun to work with.”
Roberts also talked about how professional wrestling legend Earthquake was to get along with as well as how amazed and shocked he was when he found out how long he had been in the business.
“He was absolutely fabulous to get along with. Gentle, giant, for sure. And boy, ain’t we glad, ’cause he could kick some serious ass if he wanted to. I was amazed and shocked when I found out how long he had been in the business. He’d just gotten in. Yeah. He was, he was a rookie. And then I go out and do this angle with him. That’s the first angle he’d ever done. And I thought he’d been working for 10, 15 years to find out that he was a fucking rookie. Shocked me. Shocked me to no end, man.”
