00:28z Jake the Snake Robbers.
00:30Look at the size of that huge snake!
00:33This is WWE's
00:35greatest moment.
00:36Enter, enter the snake pit
00:38if you dare.
00:40It's your son of a man!
00:43Oh my god, what the hell are you doing?
00:46Absolutely
00:47unbelievable!
00:49Welcome, baby, I'm against you.
00:56Welcome, everyone, to WWE's Greatest Moment.
01:00I'm Michael Cole.
01:01And in this edition, we're celebrating one of the most
01:03enigmatic superstars of all time.
01:06The WWE Hall of Famer,
01:08Jake the Snake Robbers.
01:10They say you can't always get what you want,
01:12but I've always been able to get what I need.
01:15The sheer awe of Jake is second to none.
01:18From the methodical walk to the ring,
01:21to the devastating DDT.
01:23And yes, the always feared
01:25bag with a literal snake inside of it.
01:28Talk about your boa constrictors.
01:30Take a look at that!
01:32Jake Roberts is a true master of mind games.
01:35And the spoken word.
01:36From his WWE debut,
01:38the Snake's captivating promos
01:40always left audiences in chills.
01:45Also going to be exciting to see
01:47newcomer right now to the World Wrestling Federation,
01:49Jake the Snake Roberts.
01:51When Jake first came on,
01:52you know, I was trying to get into the character.
01:55I really didn't know much about him.
01:57I was terrified of snakes.
01:59Always had been.
02:00But I wanted the job.
02:02Oh, for God's sakes!
02:04Jake Roberts!
02:05What in the world?
02:06Get that thing out of here!
02:08Just take it easy, Gene.
02:09If you're good to me, I'll make sure he's good to you.
02:12The guy's walking around with a 14-foot python.
02:17That's what you think is drawing you in.
02:20But with Jake,
02:23it's all his eyes.
02:25He's eyeballing me!
02:27To say I'm the sickest
02:29is just the admonition of reality
02:31because it's me.
02:32I mean, he was so strong as a character.
02:35He had that evil mean streak that was just all...
02:38You could just sense it about him.
02:39If you keep playing with snakes,
02:41you got to expect one thing.
02:44You're gonna get bit.
02:45It allowed me to get my character
02:48the dark side in.
02:50It allowed me to paint the picture
02:52how evil I was.
02:53That was the birth of Jake the Snake.
02:55The snake is gonna be here for a long time
02:57and it's something that everyone has to deal with.
03:03Jake the Snake Roberts was a character unlike any other.
03:06His fondness for the slithery serpents
03:08of the reptile kingdom
03:09gave him a psychological advantage over his opponents.
03:13Sooner or later, Damien...
03:16Damien, my friend...
03:17will strike.
03:19In 1987, Jake found a kindred spirit
03:22in rock icon Alice Cooper.
03:24Cooper famously used live boa constrictors at his concerts.
03:28We've always been bone breakers, you see.
03:30We were signed, sealed, witnessed on the day we were born.
03:33There was no surprise at WrestleMania III
03:35in front of a record-setting 93,000 fans
03:39that Alice Cooper would be in the corner of a serpent sidekick
03:42when he faced the Hockey Talk Man
03:44at the Pontiac Silverdome.
03:48Coming towards the ring and accompanied by Alice Cooper,
03:55Jake the Snake Roberts!
04:00Being on the same stage as Alice Cooper,
04:03a real nut for me, man.
04:04I mean, I was just overjoyed.
04:06The eyeballs that Alice Cooper brought in,
04:09you know, he was hot off MTV.
04:10His album was gold already.
04:12These guys have pulled out all the stops in this one.
04:17Oh, ramp! Oh!
04:19Right into the steel post!
04:21Sometimes celebrities get involved in wrestling
04:23and you're like, is this a natural fit?
04:24The Alice Cooper, Jake the Snake thing just, it worked perfectly.
04:28Uh-oh!
04:29Got him right in the corner!
04:30Oh, look at that!
04:31Look at that!
04:32Give me a break!
04:33That's gotta be a disqualification!
04:35He's holding on the ropes!
04:37Three, he got it!
04:38He got it!
04:38The Hockey Talk wins it!
04:41And of course, you know what was gonna happen
04:43with that big snake.
04:44It's gonna be throwing him in.
04:45Look at this!
04:46The mouth is fighting for his life in there!
04:49And it was a rush.
04:51Just the electricity, the energy from that ground.
04:54It hits you and it just...
04:57Talk about excitement!
05:02There's no question that Jake the Snake Roberts
05:04had charisma in spades.
05:06His words were often times more dangerous
05:08than his arsenal inside the squared circle.
05:10Trust me.
05:12One superstar to find that out
05:14was the million-dollar man Ted DiBiase.
05:17When he took the coveted million-dollar championship
05:20from the million-dollar man.
05:22If you want your million-dollar butt,
05:26bring your million-dollar butt
05:27and come and get it!
05:29DiBiase would try and reclaim his title
05:31against Jake on the grand stage of WrestleMania VI.
05:34But it was the words the Snake spoke before the match
05:37that sent shivers up the spines of the thousands
05:40in attendance at the Toronto Sky Dome.
05:45And now let's take you to Jake the Snake Roberts!
05:49The promos are the easy ones for me.
05:51The gift from above, I guess.
05:53Here we are at WrestleMania,
05:55and it's the biggest match of your career.
05:58Why?
05:59Because everything you stand for is on the line.
06:02Every time he does an interview,
06:04he does it in such a way
06:06He can either make you love him,
06:07or he can make you hate him.
06:09I'm going to make you beg, DiBiase.
06:11This time, you'll be the one that's humbled.
06:13This time, you'll be the one that's humiliated.
06:16And this time, you will be the one that grovels for the money.
06:20I knew I had to do something different.
06:22If people yelled at me, I didn't listen.
06:24So I thought, well, let's go the other way.
06:26Let's whisper.
06:27Make people listen.
06:28And it does.
06:29A victim of your own greed,
06:34wallowing in the muck of avarice.
06:39Longfellow couldn't have said it better.
06:41Still to come.
06:42Never trust a snake.
06:45If you feel like you're good,
06:47and if you really feel like you're good.
06:49It's almost okay.
06:50It's insane.
06:53Personal differences between Jake the Snake Roberts and WWE
06:56led to Jake leaving the company.
06:58No matter where he went,
06:59Jake the Snake Roberts left an undeniable impression
07:02on all who crossed his path.
07:04In 1992, during an episode of WCW Made Event,
07:08the icon known as Sting was fending off an attack
07:11from ravishing Rick Roode and Cactus Jack,
07:13when a new rival would shockingly slither into the arena
07:16with sinister intentions.
07:21Wait a minute.
07:22Who's that coming through the...
07:25Jake the Snake Roberts snithering into the ring.
07:29And now he's got the chance.
07:31I think sometimes you can work things out,
07:33but sometimes you can't.
07:35And we couldn't.
07:36So I left.
07:37Went over to the other guys.
07:40Jake Roberts doesn't even wrestle!
07:42And WC, that's what you're doing here!
07:43He had to get out.
07:45So he was gonna go to the greener grass.
07:47Oh!
07:48Circassian!
07:49It was clear then that everybody knew who he was,
07:51and it was a really cool way to make a debut.
07:53Roberts left Steele chair!
07:56Jake the Snake!
07:57The mess to the DDT!
07:59He dropped him on his face!
08:01The more impactful your debut,
08:02the more you give people something to talk about.
08:04Not another one!
08:05I went into the ring and hit Steele with two DDTs.
08:10Left him laying.
08:11Sting is hurt badly!
08:13At the hands of Jake the Snake Roberts!
08:15Even the wrestlers were shocked.
08:17People were freaking out.
08:18That evil!
08:19Devil like Jake the Snake Roberts!
08:21Sting needs medical attention.
08:22He needs it badly.
08:23It was just the last man to have that much heat.
08:26They were angry.
08:27Tragedy has struck the Stinger
08:28at the hands of Jake the Snake Roberts.
08:33It's common knowledge that snakes
08:35are most at home in dark places,
08:38preying on the weak for survival.
08:40In 1991, the Ultimate Warrior
08:42was engulfed in a rivalry with the Ominous Undertaker.
08:45Stand!
08:45And you're going to be scared!
08:46Oh, wait a minute!
08:47You're going to be scared!
08:50Oh!
08:50They're burying him!
08:52And turned to Jake the Snake Roberts
08:54for guidance through the dark side.
08:56What Warrior was about to find out
08:58is that sometimes, trust can be venomous.
09:04Now there, the Ultimate Warrior
09:05in his ongoing quest
09:07to understand his adversary,
09:09the Undertaker,
09:10has followed the advice of Jake Roberts.
09:12It was time for me to turn heel.
09:14What better person to do it than the Warrior?
09:16You wanted to know all about the Undertaker.
09:18You ask me.
09:19You've got to learn the Undertaker's way, brother.
09:21It's the dark side.
09:23Jake was a really great talent
09:25and there were no limitations
09:27to what you could do creatively
09:28between the two characters.
09:29and a piece to the puzzle.
09:31You've trusted me to this point.
09:33But you need to step inside this room
09:35because in this room
09:36there's a coffin
09:37and Lucifer sits waiting for you.
09:39He created something
09:41that no one ever done before.
09:42He scared people.
09:44Go for it.
09:44You'll find the answer
09:45in the center of the room, Warrior.
09:47I'll shed a little light on the subject
09:49for you there, big guy.
09:51Huh?
09:52What do you think about that?
09:53He just stomped his way into the room.
09:55What he did, man,
09:55those snakes were biting his ankles.
09:57Here, Warrior.
09:59Huh?
10:02Oh!
10:02Oh!
10:02No one could expect it!
10:05Oh!
10:05It's not about the Doctor Order!
10:07It shocked the hell out of people.
10:13Reach out for me.
10:15I'm a snake.
10:16Never trust a snake.
10:24Still the cop.
10:24Look at this!
10:25What's going on here?
10:26I lived with it.
10:28Now you've got to.
10:29First time in the World Wrestling Federation
10:31a blind call.
10:34In the 1980s,
10:36few rivalries got as personal
10:37as it did with Jake the Snake Roberts
10:39and Ravishing Rick Rue.
10:41The Ravishing one
10:42was the self-professed sexiest man alive
10:44and was convinced
10:45he was the desire of any woman
10:47who was in his presence.
10:48The ladies love the way I move.
10:52With full arrogance in tow,
10:54Ravishing Rick had the very image
10:56of Jake's wife, Cheryl,
10:58airbrushed on his tights.
10:59A move that sent the snake
11:01into a cold-blooded rage.
11:07Ravishing Rick Rue in action
11:09in the very same arena
11:10as Jake the Snake Roberts.
11:12Standing right here, Rue,
11:14waiting for you, man.
11:15Waiting for you to wear those tights
11:16just one more time.
11:19Make people connect
11:21with what you're trying to say.
11:23Keep it simple.
11:25Well, you can't get any more simple
11:27than somebody messing with your wife.
11:31What's he doing?
11:32He's tearing his tights off.
11:34Aw-ha!
11:35Cheryl Roberts!
11:37You hated him.
11:38You loved to hate him.
11:39He was the ultimate villain.
11:41You just wanted to see him
11:42get his butt kicked.
11:44Nobody wants your loved one's
11:46face on some man's crotch.
11:48He just did so many things
11:50to piss people off.
11:52Here comes Jake the Snake!
11:55I'm going to go out there
11:56and rip those off me.
12:00Oh!
12:01Oh!
12:02The Cubs coming down!
12:04Coming down!
12:05Coming down!
12:05Coming down!
12:06The way out!
12:07Down to his ankles!
12:09Oh, my God.
12:10The people are so happy.
12:11Now they're screaming
12:12at the top of their lungs.
12:13They dug them.
12:16Jake the Snake pulling those tights!
12:21Fear is but a four-letter word.
12:23And when it came to the eighth wonder
12:24of the world, Andre the Giant,
12:26many believed that there was nothing
12:27this seven-foot-tall monster
12:29of a man was afraid of.
12:30I'm not afraid of murder.
12:31But on an episode of Saturday Night
12:34Spade Event in 1988,
12:35the world would come to find out
12:37that at one point or another,
12:39everyone can be rattled.
12:42I want to see how Jake handles
12:45this situation, McMahon.
12:47Bobby Heaton's going to be
12:48in trouble here!
12:49Heaton was waiting for Andre
12:51to come down in ringside!
12:53Andre coming in!
12:57Andre's thrown by Hemmer
12:58where that's not fair!
12:59Andre is 500 pounds!
13:01I love working with Andre.
13:02He was such a performer.
13:04Wait a minute.
13:05Jake back up on his feet.
13:06He's coming back into the ring.
13:08And look what he had!
13:09He saw the people.
13:10He didn't step to the outside.
13:13Look at this!
13:14What's going on here?
13:15Andre is not moving in!
13:17So Andre is terrified of snakes.
13:19The only thing I think
13:20that brought any fear to that man.
13:22I think he's afraid, yes!
13:23He's terrified!
13:24I didn't think the giant
13:25wasn't afraid of anything!
13:27Moody!
13:28Oh no!
13:29Oh no!
13:29McCall on the giant!
13:31Look at this!
13:33Damien, this thing!
13:34Touching!
13:34It's choking Andre the giant!
13:37Andre going down!
13:38Jake was smart as hell.
13:40If anybody was going to find
13:41a weakness, it was him.
13:44Andre touching his chest!
13:46When he went down like he did
13:47and fainted the heart attack,
13:49it was gold.
13:50He didn't stop the Andre around!
13:53Twisting for the heartbeat
13:54pounding on the chest
13:55of Andre the giant!
13:56I had no idea
13:57that the giant was afraid
13:58of anything,
13:59but we certainly know
14:00what his Achilles heel is now.
14:03In the land of darkness,
14:05the snake is king.
14:06In the fall of 1990,
14:08Rick the model Martell
14:09would put that to the test.
14:10So don't be bold innocent.
14:16Martell's spreading right in the eyes
14:17with a peregrine!
14:19As Martell literally blindsided Jake
14:21with a vicious assault,
14:22Roberts was out for months.
14:24It wasn't an accident!
14:25I did it on purpose!
14:26Now you see me!
14:28Now you don't!
14:31Upon his return,
14:32the snake didn't just want revenge.
14:33He wanted Martell to feel the world
14:36the way he had.
14:37Without vision.
14:39I lived with it!
14:40Now you've got to!
14:41It's real simple.
14:42A blindfold?
14:43Yeah, slip it on brother.
14:45The blind leading the blind.
14:47The two were set to face off
14:48on the grand stage
14:49of WrestleMania 7
14:50in one of the most unique matches
14:52in WWE history.
14:54A blindfold match.
14:59First time in the World Wrestling Federation
15:01a blindfold match.
15:03The blindfold match was one of my favorites.
15:07I did so much by doing very little.
15:09The crowd 100% trying to help Jake the Snake.
15:12They brought the fans into the ring
15:14and it's almost like the fans were warning
15:17the wrestlers of what was going on in the ring.
15:19That's not fair!
15:21They should let Martell wrestle without the hood,
15:24keep his eyes shut,
15:24and just work on the honor system.
15:26We gelled together so well
15:29and we knew right away
15:30what one was thinking
15:31and it was fantastic.
15:34Drops an elbow
15:35but nobody there.
15:37Oh!
15:38Martell realized he had a hole
15:40of that ominous green bag
15:41that contains Damien.
15:43I remember hooking his head.
15:45Oh! Jake found him!
15:46DDT got him!
15:47And the people just...
15:50But can't he find him to cover him?
15:54Oh, no!
15:56What a tremendous matchup!
15:58Your winner, Jake Roberts!
16:03Up next is our final two moments of the countdown.
16:06Ooh! What a clothesline!
16:07What will take the number one spot?
16:09Drink this, Jake Roberts!
16:10Look at that!
16:12You never know when a snake will bite first.
16:15And in the case of the Macho Man Randy Savage,
16:17that certainly rang true.
16:19During the wedding reception of Savage
16:21and his new bride, Elizabeth,
16:22an unwelcome guest crashed the party.
16:24Oh!
16:26Oh!
16:27Oh!
16:28Psychological warfare had begun
16:30as the vile Jake Roberts would torment the newlyweds.
16:32And in one of the most twisted moments in WWE history,
16:36Jake showed just how serpentine he could be.
16:41Jake Roberts all over Randy Savage!
16:44Tied him up in the ropes!
16:45Come on, Randy!
16:46Get out of there!
16:49Oh, no!
16:51Drink this, Jake Roberts!
16:52Look at that!
16:53I still get a little too excited for that moment
16:55whenever I watch it.
16:56I can't go any further than that,
16:57but I...
16:58I shouldn't feel guilty, but I don't.
17:00He's got it too close to him!
17:02Keep it away from him!
17:03Look!
17:03That snake is...
17:04Wait a minute!
17:05The snake is ready!
17:06The snake is fighting it!
17:07The snake is fighting it!
17:10The snake is mowing on the arm!
17:12A brandy savage who's helpless tied in the ropes!
17:16When the snake bit Randy's arm,
17:19we were in disbelief.
17:21The snake would not release.
17:23Something's going wrong here!
17:25This is not supposed to happen!
17:27Blood's starting to come out.
17:29I grab the snake and pull on it,
17:30but the snake won't let go.
17:32I tug it or anything, he won't let go, man.
17:33Now it's been, you know, 15, 20 seconds,
17:36and the people are getting really weird, you know,
17:38with people reacting.
17:39Jake Roberts shaking the snake!
17:42As the snake digs deeper and coming on!
17:45This is not supposed to happen!
17:47Finally, I had to pry the jaws apart
17:49and got the snake to let go.
17:51Randy Savage is in trouble!
17:53That was probably one of the best moments of my career.
17:57It shocked Randy.
18:00And it let the rest of the world know
18:02that Jake Roberts will do anything
18:05to get your attention
18:06and get where he wanted to go.
18:09Jake Roberts has snapped his sack!
18:14And it's now time for our number one moment
18:16as Jake the Snake Roberts slithered his way
18:19into the psyche of audiences everywhere.
18:22Ricky the Dragon Steamboat was the ultimate hero,
18:25much to the snake's dismay.
18:27Steamboat was the superstar that had the good looks
18:30and the support of fans worldwide.
18:32When I walk out there or during the match,
18:34they're chanting my name or they're clapping for me.
18:36I love it.
18:37The snake was set to take on the dragon
18:39on a 1986 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event.
18:43What transpired would be one of the most vicious moments
18:47in WWE history.
18:52Hello, everyone!
18:53Welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event!
18:55They came to me and said, Jake, here's what we want.
18:57We want you to DDT Steamboat on the floor.
19:00And I told him I couldn't do it.
19:02That was going to be something very, very serious
19:04because it had never happened before.
19:06All those DDTs were in the rain.
19:08And we argued, finally, he just said,
19:09I know I can do it. I can block it.
19:11I can get my hands down.
19:12Don't worry about me.
19:13Say hello!
19:14Hey, off the rope now!
19:16Ooh!
19:16What a clothesline!
19:18And he kept begging,
19:19let's do it.
19:20Let's do it.
19:21Finally, he's fine.
19:22Let's do it.
19:23He's not!
19:24Oh, no!
19:25Hey, Steamboat, that's using your head!
19:27Oh, my goodness!
19:31I like it.
19:32Steamboat, unconscious!
19:34His head hit.
19:35It made the most horrible sound.
19:38I wasn't ready.
19:39And consequently, my head hit the cement and swelled up.
19:46Incompletely out.
19:47To try to pick up 220 pounds that's completely out is a job.
19:53Steamboat totally out of it!
19:54Unconscious!
19:56And I pushed him and rolled him in.
19:57I came into the ring.
19:59They're starting to send people from the back out there to check.
20:03Could have cost me a career.
20:04I think the dragon is out!
20:06Very lucky that I didn't kill him.
20:08He's my most favorite guy to work with.
20:11Had great matches with him.
20:12And we went out and put on some damn good performances.
20:15I'm looking concerned for the face of everyone in his capacity proud.
20:19There's no question that Jake the Snake Roberts has left behind a legacy that still foils tightly around the heart
20:25of professional wrestling.
20:27Well, that'll do it for this edition of WWE's Greatest Moments.
20:30I hope you've enjoyed this look back at the very best of the one and only Jake the Snake Roberts.
20:35Thanks.
20:36Thanks.
