WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts took to an episode of his The Snake Pit podcast, where he discussed several topics, including Dick Murdoch.
Roberts said, “He was a redneck, that he was. Heavy drinker, a heavy drinker. But he could work when he wanted to. If he wanted to go out there and give you a match, he could give you one of the best you’d ever have. But if he wasn’t in the mood, forget about it. It was going to be horses**t.”
On Murdoch intentionally having a bad match:
“No idea, man. Evidently, he didn’t turn the switch on that day. But I’ve seen him do it many times. It’s like, you’ll get one out of ten that will be just f***ing horrible.”
