Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,384 --> 00:00:02,419
Cold blooded-
2
00:00:02,419 --> 00:00:04,721
From Stone
Mountain, Georgia-
3
00:00:04,721 --> 00:00:05,822
-ferocious-
4
00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:08,825
-weighing 249
pounds-
5
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:10,560
-sinister.
6
00:00:11,294 --> 00:00:15,432
Jake "The
Snake" Roberts.
7
00:00:16,499 --> 00:00:18,335
The similarities
between Jake "The Snake" Roberts
8
00:00:18,335 --> 00:00:21,805
and the serpent nickname he
possesses are uncanny.
9
00:00:21,805 --> 00:00:23,940
You don't play
around with people like me,
10
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:27,043
because people like me, we just
don't play.
11
00:00:27,043 --> 00:00:29,546
Today, we look
back at the iconic career of
12
00:00:29,546 --> 00:00:31,514
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
13
00:00:31,514 --> 00:00:33,850
Look at the
size of that huge snake.
14
00:00:33,850 --> 00:00:36,987
This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.
15
00:00:37,754 --> 00:00:40,090
Enter into the
snake pit, if you dare.
16
00:00:42,325 --> 00:00:44,427
If you smell--
17
00:00:44,427 --> 00:00:45,228
Oh, my God,
18
00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:46,763
what the hell are you
doing?
19
00:00:46,763 --> 00:00:49,699
Absolutely
unbelievable.
20
00:00:49,699 --> 00:00:51,635
Hulkamania is
here.
21
00:00:58,608 --> 00:00:59,543
Welcome,
everyone,
22
00:00:59,543 --> 00:01:01,411
to WWE's Greatest Moments.
23
00:01:01,411 --> 00:01:04,381
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole, and in this
edition, we're celebrating one
24
00:01:04,381 --> 00:01:08,018
{\an8}of the most enigmatic superstars
of all time,
25
00:01:08,018 --> 00:01:11,788
the WWE Hall of Famer, Jake "The
Snake" Roberts.
26
00:01:12,622 --> 00:01:14,724
They say you
can't always get what you want,
27
00:01:14,724 --> 00:01:16,826
but I've always been able to get
what I need.
28
00:01:18,194 --> 00:01:20,530
The sheer aura
of Jake is second to none.
29
00:01:20,530 --> 00:01:25,869
From the methodical walk to the
ring, to the devastating DDT,
30
00:01:25,869 --> 00:01:29,472
and yes, the always feared bag
with a literal snake
31
00:01:29,472 --> 00:01:30,807
inside of it.
32
00:01:30,807 --> 00:01:32,776
Talk about
your Boa Constrictors,
33
00:01:32,776 --> 00:01:34,778
take a look at that.
34
00:01:34,778 --> 00:01:37,247
Jake Roberts was
a true master of mind games,
35
00:01:37,247 --> 00:01:38,982
and the spoken word.
36
00:01:39,616 --> 00:01:43,787
From his WWE debut, the Snake's
captivating promos always left
37
00:01:43,787 --> 00:01:45,789
audiences in chills.
38
00:01:48,525 --> 00:01:51,328
{\an8}Also going to
be excited to see newcomer
39
00:01:51,328 --> 00:01:52,495
{\an8}right now to the World
Wrestling--,
40
00:01:52,495 --> 00:01:54,097
{\an8}Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
41
00:01:54,097 --> 00:01:55,665
{\an8}When Jake first
came on, you know,
42
00:01:55,665 --> 00:01:58,101
{\an8}I was trying to get into
the character.
43
00:01:58,101 --> 00:02:00,170
I really didn't know much about
him.
44
00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:03,006
{\an8}I was terrified
of snakes, always have been,
45
00:02:03,006 --> 00:02:04,908
{\an8}but I wanted the job.
46
00:02:04,908 --> 00:02:08,678
Oh, for God
sakes, Jake Roberts,
47
00:02:08,678 --> 00:02:09,946
what in the world?
48
00:02:09,946 --> 00:02:11,581
Uh, take- get that thing out of
here.
49
00:02:11,581 --> 00:02:12,849
Oh, just take it
easy, Gene.
50
00:02:12,849 --> 00:02:15,886
If you're good to me, I'll make
sure he's good to you, huh?
51
00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:18,221
The guy's
walking around
52
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:19,956
with a 14-foot python.
53
00:02:20,857 --> 00:02:27,130
{\an8}That's what you think is drawing
you in, but with Jake,
54
00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:28,932
{\an8}it's all his eyes.
55
00:02:29,032 --> 00:02:29,833
Look at it.
56
00:02:29,833 --> 00:02:31,568
That-that thing is eyeballing
me.
57
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:34,104
To say I'm the
sickest is just the admonition
58
00:02:34,104 --> 00:02:36,072
of reality, because it's me.
59
00:02:36,072 --> 00:02:39,376
{\an8}I mean, he was so
strong as a character.
60
00:02:39,376 --> 00:02:41,711
He had that evil mean streak
that was just all,
61
00:02:41,711 --> 00:02:43,513
you could just sense
it about him.
62
00:02:43,513 --> 00:02:45,582
If you keep
playing with snakes,
63
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:49,686
you got to expect one thing,
you're gonna get bit.
64
00:02:49,686 --> 00:02:54,424
It allowed me to get my
character the dark side in.
65
00:02:54,424 --> 00:02:58,461
It allowed me to paint the
picture, how evil I was.
66
00:02:58,461 --> 00:03:00,130
That was the birth of Jake "The
Snake".
67
00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:02,098
The Snake is going to be here
for a long time,
68
00:03:02,098 --> 00:03:04,100
and it's something that
everyone has to deal with.
69
00:03:08,171 --> 00:03:09,573
Jake "The Snake"
Roberts
70
00:03:09,573 --> 00:03:11,208
was a character
unlike any other.
71
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:14,177
His fondness for the slithery
serpents of the reptile kingdom
72
00:03:14,177 --> 00:03:17,347
gave him a psychological
advantage over his opponents.
73
00:03:17,347 --> 00:03:19,883
Sooner or later,
Damian,
74
00:03:21,084 --> 00:03:23,620
Damian, my friend, will strike.
75
00:03:24,421 --> 00:03:27,657
In 1987, Jake
found a kindred spirit
76
00:03:27,657 --> 00:03:30,093
in rock icon Alice Cooper.
77
00:03:30,093 --> 00:03:33,563
Cooper famously used live Boa
Constrictors at his concerts.
78
00:03:33,563 --> 00:03:35,832
We've always
been bone breakers, you see.
79
00:03:35,832 --> 00:03:37,601
We were signed, sealed,
witnessed on the day
80
00:03:37,601 --> 00:03:38,835
we were born.
81
00:03:38,835 --> 00:03:40,136
Yeah.
82
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:41,338
So, it was no
surprise at WrestleMania III,
83
00:03:41,338 --> 00:03:45,342
in front of a record-setting
93,000 fans that Alice Cooper
84
00:03:45,342 --> 00:03:48,778
would be in the corner of the
Serpent Sidekick when he faced
85
00:03:48,778 --> 00:03:51,815
the Honky Tonk Man at
the Pontiac Silverdome.
86
00:03:55,218 --> 00:03:57,220
{\an8}Coming
towards the ring, and
87
00:03:57,220 --> 00:04:05,262
accompanied by Alice Cooper,
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
88
00:04:06,796 --> 00:04:08,732
Being on the
same stage as Alice Cooper,
89
00:04:08,732 --> 00:04:10,800
a real night for me, man.
90
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,103
I mean, I was just overjoyed.
91
00:04:13,103 --> 00:04:15,272
The eyeballs that
Alice Cooper brought in.
92
00:04:15,272 --> 00:04:18,508
{\an8}You know, he was hot off MTV,
his album was gold already.
93
00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:20,210
These guys
have pulled out all the stops
94
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:21,344
in this one.
95
00:04:24,047 --> 00:04:27,350
Oh, ran, whoa, right into the
steel post.
96
00:04:27,817 --> 00:04:29,419
Sometimes
celebrities get involved in
97
00:04:29,419 --> 00:04:31,555
wrestling, and you're like, "Is
this a natural fit?"
98
00:04:31,555 --> 00:04:33,256
The Alice Cooper, Jake "The
Snake" thing was
99
00:04:33,256 --> 00:04:35,592
more than perfect.
100
00:04:35,592 --> 00:04:36,626
Uh-oh.
101
00:04:36,626 --> 00:04:37,460
Got it, right
in the corner.
102
00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:38,495
Oh, look at that.
103
00:04:38,495 --> 00:04:39,462
Look at Hart.
104
00:04:39,462 --> 00:04:40,497
Give me a
break.
105
00:04:40,497 --> 00:04:42,465
That's got to be a
disqualification.
106
00:04:42,465 --> 00:04:43,700
He's holding on the ropes.
107
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:44,501
Three.
108
00:04:44,501 --> 00:04:44,935
He got him.
109
00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:46,303
He got it.
110
00:04:46,303 --> 00:04:47,671
The Honky Tonk wins it.
111
00:04:48,672 --> 00:04:50,173
And of course, you
know what was going to happen
112
00:04:50,173 --> 00:04:52,742
with that big snake, it's going
to be thrown on me.
113
00:04:52,742 --> 00:04:54,311
Look at this.
114
00:04:54,311 --> 00:04:56,746
The Mouth is
fighting for his life in there.
115
00:04:56,746 --> 00:04:58,248
And it was a
rush.
116
00:04:58,248 --> 00:05:00,850
Man, it just, uh, the
electricity and the energy
117
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:02,986
from that crowd, it hits you.
118
00:05:02,986 --> 00:05:04,654
And it just pow.
119
00:05:05,755 --> 00:05:06,790
Talk about
excitement.
120
00:05:10,427 --> 00:05:11,962
There's no
question that Jake "The Snake"
121
00:05:11,962 --> 00:05:13,864
Roberts had charisma in spades.
122
00:05:13,864 --> 00:05:16,366
His words were oftentimes more
dangerous than his arsenal
123
00:05:16,366 --> 00:05:18,869
inside the squared circle.
124
00:05:18,869 --> 00:05:20,337
Trust me.
125
00:05:20,337 --> 00:05:22,105
One superstar to
find that out was
126
00:05:22,105 --> 00:05:24,307
"The Million Dollar
Man" Ted DiBiase-
127
00:05:26,476 --> 00:05:27,777
when he
took the coveted
128
00:05:27,777 --> 00:05:30,413
Million Dollar Championship
from The Million Dollar Man.
129
00:05:31,181 --> 00:05:34,084
If you want your
Million Dollar belt,
130
00:05:34,084 --> 00:05:37,120
bring your Million Dollar butt
and come and get it.
131
00:05:37,988 --> 00:05:39,222
DiBiase would
try and reclaim
132
00:05:39,322 --> 00:05:42,659
his title against Jake on the
grand stage of WrestleMania VI,
133
00:05:42,659 --> 00:05:45,395
but it was the word The Snake
spoke before the match that sent
134
00:05:45,395 --> 00:05:49,099
shivers up the spines of the
thousands in attendance
135
00:05:49,099 --> 00:05:51,535
at the Toronto SkyDome.
136
00:05:54,738 --> 00:05:55,906
{\an8}Right now,
let's take you
137
00:05:55,906 --> 00:05:58,375
{\an8}to Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
138
00:05:58,375 --> 00:06:00,176
{\an8}The promos were
the easy ones for me.
139
00:06:00,176 --> 00:06:02,379
Big gift from above, I guess.
140
00:06:02,379 --> 00:06:05,549
Here we are at WrestleMania, and
it's the biggest match
141
00:06:05,549 --> 00:06:07,150
of your career.
142
00:06:07,150 --> 00:06:08,585
Why?
143
00:06:08,585 --> 00:06:11,488
Because everything you stand for
is on the line.
144
00:06:11,488 --> 00:06:13,356
{\an8}Every time he
does an interview,
145
00:06:13,356 --> 00:06:16,593
{\an8}he does it in such a way, he can
either make you love him,
146
00:06:16,593 --> 00:06:18,461
or you can- he can
make you hate him.
147
00:06:18,461 --> 00:06:20,697
I'm going to
make you beg, DiBiase.
148
00:06:20,697 --> 00:06:23,266
This time you'll be the one
that's humbled.
149
00:06:23,266 --> 00:06:25,735
This time you'll be the one
that's humiliated.
150
00:06:25,735 --> 00:06:29,940
And this time, you will be the
one that grovels for the money.
151
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:31,208
I knew I had to do something
different.
152
00:06:31,208 --> 00:06:33,343
When people yelled at me, I
didn't listen, so I thought,
153
00:06:33,343 --> 00:06:35,378
"Well, let's go the other way
then.
154
00:06:35,378 --> 00:06:39,583
Let's whisper, make people
listen," and it does.
155
00:06:39,583 --> 00:06:44,120
A victim of your own greed,
wallowing
156
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,423
in the muck of Everest.
157
00:06:48,725 --> 00:06:49,960
Long fellow,
couldn't have said it better.
158
00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:53,530
Personal
differences between Jake
159
00:06:53,530 --> 00:06:56,499
"The Snake" Roberts and WWE led
to Jake leaving the company.
160
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:59,369
No matter where he went, Jake
"The Snake" Roberts left an
161
00:06:59,369 --> 00:07:02,539
undeniable impression on all who
crossed his path.
162
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:07,577
In 1992, during an episode of
WCW Main Event, The Icon known
163
00:07:07,577 --> 00:07:10,013
as Sting was fending off an
attack from "Ravishing" Rick
164
00:07:10,013 --> 00:07:14,251
Rude and Cactus Jack, when a new
arrival would shockingly slither
165
00:07:14,251 --> 00:07:16,820
into the arena with sinister
intentions.
166
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:22,025
{\an8}Wait a minute.
167
00:07:22,025 --> 00:07:23,226
{\an8}Who's that coming through the--
168
00:07:24,728 --> 00:07:26,129
Jake "The Snake" Roberts
169
00:07:26,129 --> 00:07:30,367
slithering into the ring, and
now he's got the chair.
170
00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:32,903
And sometimes
you can work things out,
171
00:07:32,903 --> 00:07:36,172
but sometimes you can't, and,
uh, we couldn't, so I left.
172
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,576
{\an8}I went over to the-the other
guys.
173
00:07:39,576 --> 00:07:42,379
Jake Roberts doesn't
even wrestle in WCW.
174
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:43,647
What's he doing here?
175
00:07:43,647 --> 00:07:46,183
{\an8}He had to get out, so
he was going
176
00:07:46,183 --> 00:07:47,784
{\an8}to go to the greener grass.
177
00:07:47,784 --> 00:07:49,052
{\an8}Oh, short
clothesline.
178
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:51,054
{\an8}It was clear then
that everybody knew who he was,
179
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:53,456
{\an8}and it was a really cool way to
make a debut.
180
00:07:53,456 --> 00:07:55,859
Roberts with that
steel chair.
181
00:07:55,859 --> 00:07:59,429
Jake "The Snake", the-the master
of the DDT.
182
00:07:59,429 --> 00:08:00,964
And he dropped him on his face.
183
00:08:00,964 --> 00:08:02,332
{\an8}The more
impactful your debut,
184
00:08:02,332 --> 00:08:04,768
{\an8}then the more you give people
something to talk about.
185
00:08:04,768 --> 00:08:06,269
Not another one.
186
00:08:06,269 --> 00:08:07,671
And oh.
187
00:08:07,671 --> 00:08:09,105
I went into the
ring and hit Sting
188
00:08:09,105 --> 00:08:11,741
with two DDTs, left him laying.
189
00:08:11,741 --> 00:08:13,777
Sting is hurt badly
at the hand
190
00:08:13,777 --> 00:08:15,612
of Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
191
00:08:15,612 --> 00:08:17,013
Even the wrestlers were
shocked.
192
00:08:17,013 --> 00:08:18,315
People were freaking out.
193
00:08:18,315 --> 00:08:20,016
That evil,
devil-like
194
00:08:20,016 --> 00:08:21,618
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
195
00:08:21,618 --> 00:08:23,954
Sting needs medical attention,
and he needs it badly.
196
00:08:23,954 --> 00:08:26,189
Just a blast,
man, to have that much heat.
197
00:08:26,189 --> 00:08:27,657
They were angry.
198
00:08:27,657 --> 00:08:30,193
Tragedy has struck
The Stinger at the hands
199
00:08:30,193 --> 00:08:32,429
of Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
200
00:08:34,297 --> 00:08:36,900
It's common
knowledge that snakes are most
201
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:40,937
at home in dark places, preying
on the weak for survival.
202
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:44,107
In 1991, the Ultimate Warrior
was engulfed in a rivalry with
203
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:45,876
the ominous Undertaker.
204
00:08:45,876 --> 00:08:48,211
Yes, and you're
going to be scared.
205
00:08:48,211 --> 00:08:49,312
Oh, wait a
minute.
206
00:08:49,312 --> 00:08:51,147
No, from behind.
207
00:08:51,147 --> 00:08:52,315
You're going to
be scared.
208
00:08:52,315 --> 00:08:53,250
No.
209
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:54,584
They're burying
him.
210
00:08:54,584 --> 00:08:55,819
And turned to
Jake "The Snake" Roberts
211
00:08:55,819 --> 00:08:57,287
for guidance through
the dark side.
212
00:08:57,287 --> 00:09:01,358
What Warrior was about to find
out, is that sometimes trust
213
00:09:01,358 --> 00:09:03,026
can be venomous.
214
00:09:05,662 --> 00:09:08,098
{\an8}Now then, the
Ultimate Warrior in his ongoing
215
00:09:08,098 --> 00:09:11,301
{\an8}quest to understand his
adversary, The Undertaker,
216
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:13,904
has followed the advice of Jake
Roberts.
217
00:09:13,904 --> 00:09:15,539
You know, it was
time for me to turn heel.
218
00:09:15,539 --> 00:09:17,674
What better person to do it than
the Warrior?
219
00:09:17,674 --> 00:09:19,776
You wanted to know all about the
Undertaker.
220
00:09:19,776 --> 00:09:21,111
You ask me.
221
00:09:21,111 --> 00:09:23,346
You got to learn the
Undertaker's way, brother.
222
00:09:23,346 --> 00:09:24,714
It's the dark side.
223
00:09:24,714 --> 00:09:27,684
{\an8}Jake was
a really great talent, and there
224
00:09:27,684 --> 00:09:29,819
{\an8}were no limitations to what you
could do creatively between
225
00:09:29,819 --> 00:09:31,821
the two characters.
226
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:33,790
Final piece to
the puzzle.
227
00:09:33,790 --> 00:09:35,825
You've trusted me to this point,
but you need to step inside this
228
00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:38,094
room, because in this room is
that coffin and Lucifer
229
00:09:38,094 --> 00:09:41,565
sits waiting for you.
230
00:09:41,565 --> 00:09:44,267
{\an8}He created
something that no one
231
00:09:44,267 --> 00:09:45,268
ever done before.
232
00:09:45,268 --> 00:09:46,570
He scared people.
233
00:09:46,570 --> 00:09:47,804
Go forth.
234
00:09:47,804 --> 00:09:49,973
You'll find the answer in the
center of the room, Warrior.
235
00:09:49,973 --> 00:09:52,776
I'll shed a little light on the
subject for you there, big guy.
236
00:09:52,776 --> 00:09:54,044
Huh?
237
00:09:54,044 --> 00:09:55,612
What do you think about that?
238
00:09:55,612 --> 00:09:57,981
He just stomped his way into the
room when he did that,
239
00:09:57,981 --> 00:09:59,683
and those snakes were
biting his ankles.
240
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:03,920
Ultimate Warrior, huh?
241
00:10:04,621 --> 00:10:06,456
Oh, not what you expected?
242
00:10:06,456 --> 00:10:09,859
Oh, it's not what the doctor
ordered, is it?
243
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:11,795
It shocked the hell out of
people.
244
00:10:16,066 --> 00:10:17,534
Reach out for me.
245
00:10:18,101 --> 00:10:19,236
I'm a snake.
246
00:10:19,736 --> 00:10:21,238
Never trust a snake.
247
00:10:27,377 --> 00:10:30,113
In the 1980s,
few rivalries got as personal as
248
00:10:30,113 --> 00:10:32,182
it did with Jake "The Snake"
Roberts
249
00:10:32,182 --> 00:10:34,017
and "Ravishing" Rick Rude.
250
00:10:34,017 --> 00:10:35,285
Come on, boy.
251
00:10:35,285 --> 00:10:36,553
The Ravishing
One was the self-professed
252
00:10:36,553 --> 00:10:39,456
sexiest man alive and was
convinced he was the desire
253
00:10:39,456 --> 00:10:41,858
of any woman who was in his
presence.
254
00:10:41,858 --> 00:10:46,363
The ladies love the
way I move.
255
00:10:46,363 --> 00:10:48,164
With full
arrogance in tow,
256
00:10:48,164 --> 00:10:51,334
"Ravishing" Rick had the very
image of Jake's wife, Cheryl,
257
00:10:51,334 --> 00:10:52,569
airbrushed on his tights.
258
00:10:53,470 --> 00:10:57,140
A move that sent the Snake into
a cold-blooded rage.
259
00:11:00,777 --> 00:11:02,979
{\an8}"Ravishing"
Rick Rude in action in the very
260
00:11:02,979 --> 00:11:06,249
{\an8}same arena as Jake
"The Snake" Roberts.
261
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:07,617
I'm standing
right here, Rude,
262
00:11:07,617 --> 00:11:08,818
waiting for you, man.
263
00:11:08,818 --> 00:11:13,056
Waiting for you to wear those
tights just one more time.
264
00:11:13,790 --> 00:11:17,494
{\an8}Make people connect with what
you're trying to say.
265
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:19,262
{\an8}Keep it simple.
266
00:11:19,896 --> 00:11:24,134
{\an8}Well, you can't get any more
simple than somebody messing
267
00:11:24,134 --> 00:11:25,602
with your wife.
268
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:26,703
What's he
doing?
269
00:11:26,703 --> 00:11:28,038
He's tearing
his tights off.
270
00:11:28,038 --> 00:11:29,239
Oh.
271
00:11:29,239 --> 00:11:30,774
Cheryl Roberts.
272
00:11:31,508 --> 00:11:32,709
{\an8}You hated him.
273
00:11:32,709 --> 00:11:33,977
{\an8}You loved to hate him.
274
00:11:33,977 --> 00:11:35,378
{\an8}He was the ultimate villain.
275
00:11:35,378 --> 00:11:38,648
You just wanted to see him get
his butt kicked.
276
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:41,218
Nobody wants
your loved one's face
277
00:11:41,218 --> 00:11:42,352
on some man's crotch.
278
00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:46,656
{\an8}He just did so many things to
piss people off.
279
00:11:47,390 --> 00:11:49,226
Here comes Jake
"The Snake".
280
00:11:50,427 --> 00:11:51,394
I'm going to go
out there
281
00:11:51,394 --> 00:11:53,129
and rip those off of him.
282
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:57,100
Oh, oh.
283
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:58,735
The tights coming down.
284
00:11:58,735 --> 00:12:00,337
Pull them off.
285
00:12:00,337 --> 00:12:02,839
Pull them all the way off down
to his ankles.
286
00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:05,775
Oh, my God, the
people were so happy.
287
00:12:06,509 --> 00:12:08,778
Now they're screaming at the top
of their lungs.
288
00:12:08,778 --> 00:12:10,080
They dug that.
289
00:12:11,014 --> 00:12:13,650
Jake "The
Snake" pulling those tights.
290
00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:18,421
Fear is but a
four-letter word, and when it
291
00:12:18,421 --> 00:12:21,057
came to "The Eighth Wonder of
the World" Andre the Giant,
292
00:12:21,057 --> 00:12:23,493
many believed that there was
nothing this seven-foot-tall
293
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:25,328
monster of a man was afraid of.
294
00:12:28,031 --> 00:12:29,633
But on an
episode of Saturday Night's Main
295
00:12:29,633 --> 00:12:32,969
Event in 1988, the world would
come to find out that at one
296
00:12:32,969 --> 00:12:36,039
point or another, everyone can
be rattled.
297
00:12:38,808 --> 00:12:41,745
{\an8}I wanna see how
Jake handles this situation,
298
00:12:41,745 --> 00:12:42,646
{\an8}McMahon.
299
00:12:43,813 --> 00:12:44,781
{\an8}Bobby Heenan's
gonna be in trouble here.
300
00:12:45,582 --> 00:12:46,583
Heenan was waving-
301
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:49,452
for Andre the
Giant to come down in ringside.
302
00:12:49,452 --> 00:12:52,022
Andre coming in.
303
00:12:52,989 --> 00:12:54,224
Andre struck The Hammer.
304
00:12:54,224 --> 00:12:55,225
Boy, that's not fair.
305
00:12:55,225 --> 00:12:56,026
Andre is 500 pounds.
306
00:12:57,027 --> 00:12:59,262
I loved working
with Andre.
307
00:12:59,262 --> 00:13:00,130
He was such a performer.
308
00:13:01,431 --> 00:13:02,265
Wait a minute,
Jake back up on his feet.
309
00:13:02,732 --> 00:13:04,100
He's coming back into the ring.
310
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:05,535
And look what he has.
311
00:13:05,869 --> 00:13:07,070
Oh, this ought
to be good.
312
00:13:07,070 --> 00:13:08,705
Heenan, Heenan
stepped to the outside.
313
00:13:09,439 --> 00:13:10,307
Look at this.
314
00:13:10,307 --> 00:13:11,875
What's going on here?
315
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:13,577
Andre is not moving in.
316
00:13:13,577 --> 00:13:16,046
So, Andre was
terrified of snakes.
317
00:13:16,046 --> 00:13:18,348
{\an8}The only thing, I think, that
brought any fear to that man.
318
00:13:18,815 --> 00:13:19,616
I think he's
afraid.
319
00:13:19,616 --> 00:13:20,517
Yes.
320
00:13:20,517 --> 00:13:21,651
He's terrified.
321
00:13:21,651 --> 00:13:23,520
I didn't think the giant was
afraid of anything.
322
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,388
Moving-- Oh, no.
323
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:26,423
Oh, no.
324
00:13:26,423 --> 00:13:27,557
It's all on the giant.
325
00:13:27,557 --> 00:13:29,993
Look at this.
326
00:13:29,993 --> 00:13:31,461
Damian, the snake, clutching.
327
00:13:31,461 --> 00:13:33,196
It's choking Andre the Giant.
328
00:13:34,064 --> 00:13:35,265
Andre going down.
329
00:13:35,699 --> 00:13:37,100
{\an8}Jake was smart as
hell.
330
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:40,904
{\an8}If anybody was gonna find a
weakness, it was him.
331
00:13:41,938 --> 00:13:43,740
Andre clutching
his chest.
332
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:44,975
When he went
down like he did,
333
00:13:44,975 --> 00:13:47,410
and feinted the heart
attack, it was gold.
334
00:13:48,144 --> 00:13:50,413
Heenan slapping
Andre around,
335
00:13:50,947 --> 00:13:51,915
listening for a heartbeat.
336
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:54,417
Pounding on the chest of Andre
the Giant.
337
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:56,753
I had no idea that the giant was
afraid of anything,
338
00:13:56,753 --> 00:13:58,588
but we certainly know what his
Achilles heel is now.
339
00:14:01,524 --> 00:14:04,027
In the land of
darkness, the snake is king,
340
00:14:04,027 --> 00:14:06,429
and in the fall of 1990,
Rick "The Model" Martel
341
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:08,665
would put that to the test.
342
00:14:08,665 --> 00:14:10,233
So, don't be
pulling this--
343
00:14:13,537 --> 00:14:15,639
Martel sprayed
him right in the eyes
344
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:17,073
with that Arrogance.
345
00:14:17,073 --> 00:14:19,176
As Martel
literally blindsided Jake
346
00:14:19,176 --> 00:14:21,678
with a vicious assault, Roberts
was out for months.
347
00:14:22,145 --> 00:14:22,979
It wasn't an
accident.
348
00:14:22,979 --> 00:14:24,347
I did it on purpose.
349
00:14:24,347 --> 00:14:27,217
Now you see me.
350
00:14:27,217 --> 00:14:28,652
Now you don't.
351
00:14:29,419 --> 00:14:30,954
Upon his return,
the Snake
352
00:14:30,954 --> 00:14:32,656
didn't just want revenge.
353
00:14:32,656 --> 00:14:35,659
He wanted Martel to feel the
world the way he had,
354
00:14:35,659 --> 00:14:36,960
without vision.
355
00:14:37,494 --> 00:14:38,662
I lived with it.
356
00:14:38,662 --> 00:14:40,230
Now you've got to.
357
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:41,464
It's real simple.
358
00:14:41,464 --> 00:14:44,134
A blindfold, yeah, slip it on, brother.
359
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:46,269
The blind leading the blind.
360
00:14:46,269 --> 00:14:47,938
The two were set
to face off on the grand stage
361
00:14:47,938 --> 00:14:50,774
of WrestleMania VII in one of
the most unique matches
362
00:14:50,774 --> 00:14:54,344
in WWE history, a
blindfold match.
363
00:14:58,582 --> 00:15:00,650
{\an8}First time in
the World Wrestling--,
364
00:15:00,650 --> 00:15:02,552
{\an8}a blindfold match.
365
00:15:03,253 --> 00:15:05,689
The blindfold
match was one of my favorites.
366
00:15:05,789 --> 00:15:08,892
We did so much by doing very
little.
367
00:15:08,892 --> 00:15:10,627
The crowd
100% trying to help
368
00:15:10,627 --> 00:15:12,028
{\an8}Jake "The Snake."
369
00:15:12,028 --> 00:15:14,497
{\an8}They brought the
fans into the ring,
370
00:15:14,497 --> 00:15:17,300
and it's almost like
the fans were warning
371
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,336
the wrestlers of what
was going on in the ring.
372
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:20,937
That's not fair.
373
00:15:20,937 --> 00:15:23,673
They should let Martel wrestle
without the hood, keep his eyes
374
00:15:23,673 --> 00:15:27,010
shut and just work on the honor
system.
375
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:29,646
{\an8}It gelled
together so well, and you knew
376
00:15:29,646 --> 00:15:32,849
{\an8}right away what one was thinking
and it was fantastic.
377
00:15:34,184 --> 00:15:37,187
Drops an
elbow, but nobody there.
378
00:15:37,754 --> 00:15:41,858
Oh, Martel realized he had a
hole on that ominous green bag
379
00:15:41,858 --> 00:15:43,860
that contains Damien.
380
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:45,061
I remember
hooking his head.
381
00:15:45,061 --> 00:15:46,396
Oh, Jake
found him.
382
00:15:46,396 --> 00:15:47,430
DDT.
383
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:48,431
Got him.
384
00:15:48,431 --> 00:15:50,300
And the people
just whoa.
385
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:54,337
But can he find
him to cover him?
386
00:15:54,337 --> 00:15:56,506
Oh, no.
387
00:15:56,506 --> 00:15:59,009
What a
tremendous matchup.
388
00:15:59,643 --> 00:16:01,745
Here is your
winner, Jake Roberts.
389
00:16:03,747 --> 00:16:04,881
{\an8}You never know
when a snake will bite first,
390
00:16:04,881 --> 00:16:07,617
{\an8}and in the case of the "Macho
Man" Randy Savage,
391
00:16:07,617 --> 00:16:09,819
{\an8}that certainly reigned true.
392
00:16:09,819 --> 00:16:12,389
During the wedding reception of
Savage and his new bride,
393
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:15,258
Elizabeth, an unwelcomed guest
crashed the party.
394
00:16:15,258 --> 00:16:17,227
I'm going to
save the ribbon.
395
00:16:18,762 --> 00:16:20,497
Psychological
warfare had begun,
396
00:16:20,497 --> 00:16:23,433
as the vile, Jake Roberts, would
torment the newlyweds.
397
00:16:23,433 --> 00:16:26,369
In one of the most twisted
moments in WWE history,
398
00:16:26,369 --> 00:16:29,906
Jake showed just how
serpentine he could be.
399
00:16:32,943 --> 00:16:35,212
{\an8}Jake Roberts
all over Randy Savage.
400
00:16:35,212 --> 00:16:36,613
{\an8}Tying him up
in the ropes.
401
00:16:36,613 --> 00:16:37,881
{\an8}Come on,
Randy.
402
00:16:37,881 --> 00:16:39,816
Get out of there.
403
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:42,018
Oh, no.
404
00:16:42,485 --> 00:16:43,620
Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
405
00:16:43,620 --> 00:16:44,888
Look at that.
406
00:16:44,888 --> 00:16:46,423
I still get a
little too excited for that
407
00:16:46,423 --> 00:16:47,791
{\an8}moment whenever I'm watching.
408
00:16:47,791 --> 00:16:50,193
{\an8}I can't go any further than
that, but I-I-I should feel
409
00:16:50,193 --> 00:16:51,461
{\an8}guilty, but I don't.
410
00:16:52,095 --> 00:16:53,296
He's got to get
close to him.
411
00:16:53,296 --> 00:16:54,664
Keep it away from him.
412
00:16:54,664 --> 00:16:56,366
That snake is trying--
413
00:16:56,366 --> 00:16:57,667
Wait a minute, the snake is--
414
00:16:57,667 --> 00:16:59,536
Oh, the snake is biting him.
415
00:16:59,536 --> 00:17:01,771
The snake is biting him.
416
00:17:01,771 --> 00:17:05,342
The snake is mowing on the arm
of Randy Savage,
417
00:17:05,342 --> 00:17:08,044
who's helpless,
tied in the ropes.
418
00:17:08,612 --> 00:17:10,213
{\an8}When the
snake bit Randy's arm,
419
00:17:10,213 --> 00:17:13,149
{\an8}we were in disbelief.
420
00:17:13,149 --> 00:17:15,218
The snake did not release.
421
00:17:15,819 --> 00:17:17,654
Something's
gone wrong here.
422
00:17:17,654 --> 00:17:19,322
This is not supposed to happen.
423
00:17:19,856 --> 00:17:21,191
Blood's starting
to come out.
424
00:17:21,191 --> 00:17:23,293
I grab the snake and pull on it,
but the snake won't let go.
425
00:17:23,293 --> 00:17:26,096
I tug on it, it won't let go
now.
426
00:17:26,096 --> 00:17:28,098
And now it's been, you know, 15,
20 seconds.
427
00:17:28,098 --> 00:17:30,467
Man, the people are getting
really weird, you know?
428
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:31,935
With people reacting.
429
00:17:31,935 --> 00:17:34,838
Jake Roberts
shaking the snake, as the snake
430
00:17:34,838 --> 00:17:37,741
digs deeper into the arm.
431
00:17:37,741 --> 00:17:39,809
This is not supposed to happen.
432
00:17:40,377 --> 00:17:41,811
Finally, I had
pried the jaws apart
433
00:17:41,811 --> 00:17:44,781
and got the snake to let go.
434
00:17:44,781 --> 00:17:46,016
Oh, no.
435
00:17:46,016 --> 00:17:47,217
Randy Savage is
in trouble.
436
00:17:47,217 --> 00:17:49,352
That was
probably one of the best moments
437
00:17:49,352 --> 00:17:50,854
of my career.
438
00:17:50,854 --> 00:17:56,126
It shocked Randy, and it let the
rest of the world know
439
00:17:56,126 --> 00:18:00,230
that Jake Roberts will do
anything to get your attention
440
00:18:00,230 --> 00:18:01,698
and get where he wanted to go.
441
00:18:02,499 --> 00:18:04,067
Jake Roberts
has snapped.
442
00:18:04,067 --> 00:18:06,102
He's-he's sick.
443
00:18:07,938 --> 00:18:10,473
{\an8}And it's now
time for our number one moment.
444
00:18:10,473 --> 00:18:13,543
{\an8}As Jake "The Snake" Roberts
slithered his way into the
445
00:18:13,543 --> 00:18:17,180
psyche of audiences everywhere,
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
446
00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:22,419
was the ultimate hero, much
to the Snake's dismay.
447
00:18:22,419 --> 00:18:24,054
Steamboat was the superstar that
had the good looks and the
448
00:18:24,054 --> 00:18:26,423
support of fans worldwide.
449
00:18:26,423 --> 00:18:28,725
When I walked
out there or during the match,
450
00:18:28,725 --> 00:18:30,293
they're chanting my name or
they're clapping for me.
451
00:18:30,293 --> 00:18:31,728
I love it.
452
00:18:31,728 --> 00:18:33,697
The Snake was
set to take on the Dragon on a
453
00:18:33,697 --> 00:18:36,867
1986 episode of Saturday Night's
Main Event.
454
00:18:36,867 --> 00:18:40,470
What transpired would be one of
the most vicious moments
455
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:43,540
in WWE history.
456
00:18:46,977 --> 00:18:47,811
{\an8}Hello, everyone.
457
00:18:47,811 --> 00:18:49,212
{\an8}Welcome to Saturday
Night's Main Event.
458
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:50,347
{\an8}Like he'd tell
me, and he'd say, "Jake,
459
00:18:50,347 --> 00:18:51,748
{\an8}here's what we want.
460
00:18:51,748 --> 00:18:55,285
We want you to DDT Steamboat on
the floor."
461
00:18:55,285 --> 00:18:56,953
And I told them I couldn't do
it.
462
00:18:56,953 --> 00:18:58,288
{\an8}That was
going to be something very,
463
00:18:58,288 --> 00:19:00,457
{\an8}very serious because it had
never happened before.
464
00:19:00,457 --> 00:19:02,492
All those DDTs were in the ring.
465
00:19:02,492 --> 00:19:03,526
And we argued.
466
00:19:03,526 --> 00:19:04,794
Finally, he just said, "I know I
can do it.
467
00:19:04,794 --> 00:19:06,096
I can block it.
468
00:19:06,096 --> 00:19:07,297
I can get my hands down.
469
00:19:07,297 --> 00:19:08,532
Don't worry about me."
470
00:19:08,532 --> 00:19:09,532
He's hanging
onto those--
471
00:19:09,532 --> 00:19:10,433
wait a minute.
472
00:19:10,433 --> 00:19:11,334
Off the rope now.
473
00:19:11,334 --> 00:19:12,569
Oh, what a clothesline.
474
00:19:12,569 --> 00:19:15,272
And he kept
begging, "Let's do it.
475
00:19:15,272 --> 00:19:16,139
Let's do it."
476
00:19:16,139 --> 00:19:17,374
Finally, I said, "Fine.
477
00:19:17,374 --> 00:19:18,542
Let's do it."
478
00:19:18,542 --> 00:19:19,976
He's not--
oh, no.
479
00:19:19,976 --> 00:19:21,378
Hey, Steamboat.
480
00:19:21,378 --> 00:19:23,113
That's using your head.
481
00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:24,915
Oh, my
goodness.
482
00:19:26,816 --> 00:19:27,984
I like it.
483
00:19:27,984 --> 00:19:29,886
Steamboat
unconscious.
484
00:19:29,886 --> 00:19:32,122
When his head
hit it, it made the most
485
00:19:32,122 --> 00:19:33,957
horrible sound.
486
00:19:34,424 --> 00:19:36,960
I wasn't
ready, and consequently, my head
487
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,464
hit the cement, and pfft, it
swelled up.
488
00:19:41,865 --> 00:19:43,366
He was
completely out, and to try to
489
00:19:43,366 --> 00:19:48,205
pick up 220 pounds that's
completely out, it is a job.
490
00:19:48,205 --> 00:19:50,340
Steamboat
totally out of it.
491
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:51,942
Unconscious.
492
00:19:51,942 --> 00:19:54,144
And I pushed him
and rolled him in.
493
00:19:54,144 --> 00:19:56,213
I came into the ring, they're
starting to send people
494
00:19:56,213 --> 00:19:59,082
from the back out
there to check.
495
00:19:59,082 --> 00:20:00,617
It could have
cost me a career.
496
00:20:00,617 --> 00:20:02,419
I think the
Dragon is out.
497
00:20:02,419 --> 00:20:04,621
Very lucky that,
uh, it didn't kill him.
498
00:20:04,621 --> 00:20:06,857
He's my most favorite guy to
work with.
499
00:20:06,857 --> 00:20:10,460
Had great matches with him and
we went out and put on some damn
500
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:11,895
good performances.
501
00:20:11,895 --> 00:20:13,463
The look of
concern on the face of everyone
502
00:20:13,463 --> 00:20:15,098
in this capacity crowd.
503
00:20:16,533 --> 00:20:17,767
There's no
question that Jake "The Snake"
504
00:20:17,767 --> 00:20:21,371
{\an8}Roberts has left behind a legacy
that still coils tightly around
505
00:20:21,371 --> 00:20:23,740
{\an8}the heart of professional
wrestling.
506
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:25,909
{\an8}Well, that'll do it for this
edition of WWE's Greatest
507
00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:27,043
{\an8}Moments.
508
00:20:27,043 --> 00:20:29,312
{\an8}I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at the very best,
509
00:20:29,312 --> 00:20:32,382
{\an8}the one and only Jake
"the Snake" Roberts.
