WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including where his love of doing wrestling promos came from.

Roberts said, “I don’t remember how it all came about. Promos for me were a game, they were fun. And if anything is fun, you’ll spend more time doing it.”

On spending all his time writing promos instead of going out after shows:

“Not me. I was wherever I was at. I had a pen and paper and I was thinking about doing a promo, writing down ideas.”

On where he got inspiration from:

“Books, movies, music, all the above. I love Ozzy Osbourne stuff. I love Pink Floyd stuff. I love Rolling Stones, of course, and The Who, they had some good stuff.”
