[1992-03-08-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Interview: Jake Roberts

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Great interview with Gene to hype up Wrestlemania.

This was awesome and the term Snakespeare is 5*.

[Kevin Ridge]

Snakespear would be all over t-shirts these days. Olympic Gold Medalist in Seal Clubbing Jake the Snake Roberts.

[MikeCampbell]

Hitting the Undertaker was just a little foreplay, that's a little suggestive for 1992. As expected, Jake delivers the goods on the stick to set up the match.

[WingedEagle]

Good promo from Jake setting up the WM match against Undertaker.

[PeteF3]

Too bad that Jake's time with the WWF is winding down. I'd love to have seen what the supposed Bret/Jake post-WM8 feud would have been like. Jake talks about foreplay, seal-clubbing, walking hand-in-hand with Satan, crushing the Undertaker's skull, and roasting UT and Bearer in a gas stove, and sending them to Hell. Freaky as hell.

Jake Roberts might be the best ever at cutting these diabolical promos. The imagery used to describe what he was going to do to the Undertaker was incredible. A gold medal in seal clubbing!

[garretta]

Other than the term "Snakespeare", which was a stroke of genius, I didn't like this one very much. I like Jake when he's talking straight and hard, be it for good or evil. Hearing all sorts of flowery imagery and outlandish threats out of his mouth doesn't do a thing for me; in fact, it sounds like this promo was scripted for him so Vince wouldn't have to deal with him saying anything out of line so close to Mania. Clubbing baby seals? Roasting Taker and Percy on a funeral pyre? Give me a break. And where's the cobra? Is it still banned by Jack Tunney?

 

This feud has so much potential, but it looks like most if not all of it will go to waste.

[JKWebb]

Prowrestlingtees.com needs a "Snakespeare" shirt like yesterday.

Jake claiming to be more evil than Undertaker was interesting.  Was 'Taker a supernatural being yet by this point?  Or just a big guy with that gimmick?
