WWE Hall of Famer Jake โThe Snakeโ Roberts took to an episode of his Snake Pit podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including the effects of chops in pro wrestling.
Roberts said, โWell, I would watch (Roddy) Piper and (Ric) Flair go to the ring. And I watch him, five minutes into the match theyโve already got blood blisters on him. By the end of the match, those blisters had been busted. So theyโre bleeding from the chest. Their chest with a Raw piece of meat. That was a nightly thing with Wahoo.โ
On being with Scott Hall at the accountability crib:
โIt was a pretty serious time, man. You know, he was having a hip replacement, trying to get sober. I was trying to get sober, having shoulder surgery. So it was pretty serious moments. There wasnโt a lot of fun and games, we were both fighting itโฆ We could have been closer. We could have been closer. We didnโt get to the brother stage.โ
On questioning spots being called:
โWell, Iโve had situations where somebody calls something, and I questioned it. You know, โWhat the f**k is that?โ And it was with Hercules Hernandez. We were in Oakland, California. And I got him in an armbar and he just said, โBra, Iโm going to shoot you off, and hit you with my flying blah, blah, blah.โ Iโm like, โWhat the f**k is that?โ He goes, โI donโt know yet. I made it up.โ And he shot me off; f**k, man. He did some type of flip type thing. He caught me in the head with his knee. I went down like, โGod damn, Weโll never do that again.โ The next day, heโs on crutches. Heโd hurt his knee hitting my bone head.โ
