WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts recently spoke with Sports Illustrated about WWE and more. Here are the highlights.
On WWE’s booking of Roman Reigns:
“They’re shoving Roman down everybody’s throat, and that’s not working too well,” said Roberts. “It’s a shame because he’s a great athlete and a great guy, but they went at it the wrong way.”
On possible working in WWE as an agent:
“It doesn’t look like I’m going to get the opportunity to help any of these guys, though I wish I would,” said Roberts. “I’m more than available, but they’ve got their little formula they want to stick with.
“If they did bring me back, I’ll be the first to say, I’d probably do something really stupid and piss everybody off. I’m really stuck on the way I believe, so if someone wasn’t listening to me, I’d probably give him a, ‘What if?’ and throw something out there that would get a charge out of everybody.
On Bray Wyatt:
“I love the guy,” said Roberts. “I’ve talked to him quite a bit, and I wish I could spend some time with him. I saw him at one Raw taping, and he was having a hard time coming up with an interview. I said to him, ‘Are you serious, man? With everything you have to work with?’ We sat down and, within five minutes, he had about six months of interviews lined up.
“A lot of times, when people are demanding so much from you, you start trying to think, ‘Well, what should I change to meet that?’ That’s the wrong way to think. Don’t change a damn thing. What got you to the main event is what you were doing.”
