I like Jake as a wrestler but in my opinion he’s just bitter and envious of the success that Bret hart and Shawn Michaels had in their respective careers jake was self destructive he has no one else to blame for himself he could’ve became just as successful as they were but he couldn’t get rid of his demons
Jake had a lot of success. In the late 80s he was one of the most over guys in the company. At one point he was probably second to Hogan in terms of popularity. Shawn was never that over.
I think it's probably because Shawn Michaels, while very popular, has long seemed like the most unlikable person in wrestling. His character is basically a shoot.
Base on everything I know about Jake, based on the way other wrestlers and bookers talk about Jake, i would honestly assume he would have hands down the greatest wrestling podcast of all time. Im still feeling this podcast out, and it's good, i enjoy it.... but i feel like there's too many legendary questions going unasked. Idk what it is, but there is something out there just waiting too make this the biggest squared circle podcast of all time. I think Conrad and the way he lays out a show and has tons of research is honestly the way to do a Jake the Snake show.
A lot like those fans who call Kurt Angle Perc Angle, like how many wrestlers were using Percs before the wellness policy in WWE? he was in TNA then, but still
Jake doesn't like him because he's way shorter than Jake and Jake doesn't think wrestlers like Shawn or Bret should ever have been WWF Heavyweight Champion. Jake paid his dues before Shawn and is a cerebral kind of outlaw type who delivered great promos. Shawn was a pretty boy with more in ring ability. They just never clicked as friends.
@@dantecarroll2435I think the Christian thing was used just to repair his rep. I’ve always had the feeling it was a front. I could be wrong. The guy was hunting elephants a few years back, that ain’t cool
To me, being arrogant in one's abilities--no matter how gifted they are--just lessens their talents. The truly great ones know they are good but they don't let it go to their heads and become completely insufferable to those around them.
From all the shoots ive watched over the years, even from back when you had to torrent them... Nobody.., And i mean nobody has anything good to say about Shawn Michaels. And he's never done any shoot interviews or been one of the boys has he. He was gone for the company for what?... 4 years.. and came back when he bent his back in the right position and gained his smile again. And pretends to be now this holier than thou person from all the Sh*t he did from the decades past. Well ppl and GOD does not forget.
He actually did do a rf video shoot interview when he first retired it's from 2000 or 2001 if he never came back as a born again Christian and apologized to everyone he would definitely be known as one of if not the biggest prick in the history of the business I think the interview is on UA-cam I watched it on UA-cam a couple years ago
Short of an honest confession or catching them in the act (or seeing a genuine picture or video of them in the act), you really can't prove something going on between 2 people that way.
Bret Hart said that Shawn and hunter were barebacking their way to main events and accused them of being (The H bomb) in a shoot on RAW This was Bret’s best promo as a heel back in 97
Jake is SO much better without DDP staring at him with his wierd eyes 👀 [ddp has had too many face lifts, his eyes 👀 always look OPEN and the skin seems TIGHTLY stretched around his eyes]. Jake has no filter now, no more DDP eyballing jake anytime he insulta vince or one of hia boys
@@bryanmack4054Growing up in high school we had our own little clique that split apart over half of us starting to not like one other particular friend who had his own little circle loyal to him too. There was a 3rd friend in the middle who was the nicest guy in the world but he’d get annoying when he tried to play diplomat to both sides. I’m like stop telling me how misunderstood X is, I don’t like the guy and never will, end of story.
Nah, he’s still the same, at his core…just listen to stories from Hurricane, RVD, Dax…only major difference is that he’s drug free so it’s not as overt and in your face
I love Jake’s openness. Breath of fresh air
love you Jake, keep doing your thing, looking great!
I wish jake another 20 yrs
One of my favorite WWF wrestlers!!! Heard krazy stories about mr. Jake the snake
Gave Scott a lot of good years of living loved, was fckn awesome to see❤
“Went to his head a little bit?”
“A little bit my ass!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂

People seem to have an obsession on other wrestlers opinion of Shawn Michaels

A lot of people in the business like to treat Jake like he was the only one getting high back then!
IKR

I met Jake at a publix in Marietta. Great guy. Free meet and greet. Took a photo
I felt the same way... When they gave Shawn the push and the title, I stopped liking him
He was only around Scott Hall long enough to make him cry
He hasn’t changed, he just learned to hide it better.
Shawn should have been in Jake's bag because he was the real snake in the business.
They knew each other in Mid South.

What makes you think he thinks so highly of size?
Him and Vince were doing the ol in out in out. Thats why Shaun got away with everything
Good ol *backstage* politics lol
A clockwork orange reference that was a good movie
He’s just his boy toy !!
I tend to believe there could be truth to that too.
Nonsense
Never liked Shawn Michaels always seemed arrogant. Great wrestler though.
He admitted he used to be arrogant
Get off the Heart Break Kid's jock. You know you looooove his entrance song.
Like you said good wrestler scumbag person, he was like hogan bacstage a scumbag piece of s..t
He was arrogant long before he became a Christian
@@dantecarroll2435I think the Christian thing was used just to repair his rep. I’ve always had the feeling it was a front. I could be wrong. The guy was hunting elephants a few years back, that ain’t cool
Shawn was full of himself because he had unlimited in ring ability Shawn got arrogant yes but he knew how good he was
Crap
he was a POS and ruined careers... F HIM
To me, being arrogant in one's abilities--no matter how gifted they are--just lessens their talents. The truly great ones know they are good but they don't let it go to their heads and become completely insufferable to those around them.
Great reason. The guys that know they are talented and don't let it go to their heads are the true gems.
@@clickman443that would be true if Shawn ever had a bad match
Skinny Conrad at it again
😂Good one!
Marty Jannetty got screwed!
He kinda screwed himself though. But didnt he get the IC strap once? Thats a career achievment in my book.
Marty was the WWF intercontinental champion a few years after Shawn threw him out that window 😂

Jake is WAY older than Shawn. Why would he even be hanging around him?
JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS RIGHT ABOUT SHAWN ?
Something sexually was going on with Shawn and Vince McMahon I just can't prove it
I wonder if Nailz was telling the truth when he said Vince groped him…plus that shit went on for years with Garvin and Patterson anyway
@@bryanmack4054 if Vince McMahon was gay I doubt it if Nailz would be his type

@@Auroraeevee-m1q I can prove your breath stinks

Shaun Michael's got beat up at a bar in Syracuse, NY (My home turf). Rumor is he's an a$$ whole. Guess what? I'm still a fan

Yeah dude has toxic positivity
Shawn looks like shit these days also.
@@JihadBunnydick oddly, this is the first term I heard the term “toxic positivity “….kinda makes sense, since I’ve butted heads with people like that

HBK is a different guy now
Yeah he found god (Jesus) which is appropriate considering that both Pro-Wrestling and Christianity are both FAKE!!!!
Yes he found God
Nah, he’s still the same, at his core…just listen to stories from Hurricane, RVD, Dax…only major difference is that he’s drug free so it’s not as overt and in your face
So many wrestlers csn brag a out how they changed and got their life together, but nope can't accept shawn doing it.
@@GeorgeCarlinWasAGodOne day you'll find out Christianity is very real. For your sake I hope it's before your last God-given breath.
Jake rules !
michaels just seems not a nice person , bit of a trouble making ( backstage ) prat
