WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts recently discussed a variety of topics on his DDP Snake Pit podcast.
Roberts joined AEW in March 2020 and was paired with Lance Archer right away. However, due to health issues and Archer’s work in Japan, the WWE Hall of Famer hasn’t been seen on television in months.
During the podcast, Roberts stated that he would love to assist AEW talent with promos.
“There’s not much interaction with the younger talent. There are a few guys at AEW that welcome me being there. Everyone is kind, don’t get me wrong, but that’s it. I’d like so much more,” he said. “I wish AEW would use me in a position where I was helping people with interviews because I do know how to do that and I can certainly help a few people that are struggling, and there are a few that struggle. You can always get better on interviews, you’re never great. Dory Funk once told me, ‘If you ever think you had the perfect match,’ and this is how I feel about interviews, ‘then you should go backstage, take off your trunks, take off your boots, put them in a pile, spray lighter fluid and burn them. You don’t deserve to be in the ring anymore if you think you’ve had a perfect match. There is no such thing as a perfect match, you can always make it better.’ Same thing with interviews.”
