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 potentally teaming up with Cactus Jack.
Roberts said, “There was potential there, for sure.”
On Mick Foley asking him for advice early on in his career:
“Yeah, he was. He was asking for my opinion on stuff to see. What do you think? Thought about this. Thought about that. You know, he was a young guy wanting to learn, man. He was hungry.”
How he loved Foley’s in-ring style, but feared for Foley’s life and health:
“I loved Mick’s reckless work, but I feared for his life and feared for his health. I don’t know what kind of man I’d be if I saw somebody setting somebody on fire. If I didn’t say stop, what kind of man would I be? Pretty much a big asshole, you know? Don’t set him on fire. Oh, go ahead, set him on fire. He’ll be all right. No. He won’t. And that was my only I’m not knocking him and what he was doing. I just feared for his health and his well-being.”
If he saw World Champion potential in Foley as Cactus Jack:
“No, not as Cactus Jack.”
