WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including how he doesn’t like snakes at all.
Roberts said, “I don’t like snakes at all. They scare the piss out of me, and you never get used to getting bit. You know, if I shoved a cockroach in your ear, that would mess with your head, yeah, yeah, especially your ear.”
On why he chose snakes as his gimmick:
“Your parents tell you from the get-go, keep away snakes. And that’s ingrained in you. It’s sort of something that is taught to us from the very beginning, and kids dig it because mom and dad can’t stand it.”
On how many times he’s been bitten:
“15-20. Yeah, some of them are pretty nasty. I got one on the inside of my arm here it was 30 — it was a big reticulated python, he tore the hell out of my arm.”
