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 its important for wrestlers to have a good relationship with commentators.
Roberts said, “Well, your commentator can make you or break you. You know, by saying small things and by saying big things. So just think about that for a moment. They can make you the second coming of Christ. They can do anything they want because they’ve got the power of that f***ing microphone. And if you got the microphone, you’re the one with the power. You can make what they are looking at. The biggest, baddest son of a bitch on the planet. Or you can make that guy a whimpering fool. But what do you say. So, yeah, you better have a relationship. I never I never nurtured a relationship with one of the announcers. I just kind of like call it where it is. But I never had a problem with anybody either.”
Roberts also talked about if there was a commentator who told his story the best.
“Yeah, Gordon [Solie] was very special. Jim Ross was very special.”
