Real legend here all the older guys in my family referred to Jake The Snake as one of their favorites, and given his unique character I can see why he sticks out in people’s mind add in the personal life story makes him that much more captivating…
I remember when i was a little kid in a day care. This new kid came jn the class room and his name was Jake. I started shouting jake the snake. Everyone started chanting it. Those events were inspired by this man.
But maybe he or several of the kids didn't think of the wrestler when they heard "snake", especially in daycare of all places. At least some of them thought you were looking down on him.
Those pains never stop hurting, fam. You just become accustomed to it. And cover it up and keep going. You have your days when it kicks your ass when the memories come back and you try to combat it. And you've got days that it never crosses your mind. But it always hurts. Especially when that person that did you so wrong is deceased and you never got the answer from them as to why they did what they did to you. You learn to operate in your disfunction. You learn that even if thriving is an impossibility, you'll at least learn how to survive.
@@antonioalvarez6852 Absolutely. Perhaps his tenure in WWF and more importantly his current sobriety are certainly positives to be VERY happy about. The fact that he's still alive is almost miraculous, given the lifestyle he's lived. Quite a few Wrestlers of his era don't usually make it to his age. Not saying a biopic wouldn't be engaging, but the man has lived thru ALOT of fucked up shit that no man should ever endure. Jake has been one my favorite wrestlers growing up. Criminally underrated talent in his prime. I would be the first in line to see a film based on his life.
I don't even like wrestling but I'm obsessed with the lifestyle and the stories of these guys who lived it. Some of the most fascinating and emotional stories, documentaries, and interviews I've ever seen have been old pro wrestlers.
Every pro wrestler thats married will tell you the exact same thing that jake said.. Im not surprised to hear it. Triple H said the exact same thing its hard to have a relationship when you are gone for most of the year.
Damn he’s right in the end, when you work on the road messing with all these women and then you go home it feels a little different that’s the honest truth. Most of us won’t admit it
@@RocknRobby yeah but working on the road, you go to a bar get girls then kick em back to where ever. The. You go home kids crying woman complaining about this and that. In your mind you be like yeah I’m ready to go back to work lol.
He’s talked about it for many years. Twenty years ago he just flat out said: you start with two women, then three, then one day you go home and can’t get it up with just your wife.
Jake The Snake may have been the most likeable heel in WWF history until Stone Cold came. Ironically, he was part of giving birth to Stone Cold's "Austin 3:16" line
@@adamprice3466yep… and from that era randy savage and demolition also had a lot of fans… orndorff did too at times….and going back into the past, there were others. Fans only know their little period where they watched and then exaggerate.
man jakes come a long way. when i use to do local shows back in the day we use to rap at wrestling shows. they had snake come in and he was high as hell on crack and not selling any of the moves. one of the other wrestlers flipped out on him. it ended up on tmz. it was just a really sad situation. ray rowe whose signed to the wwe was there we knew him when he was still underground he was a great dude.
Jake's life story is a sad one, his relationships with his daughter and father are just messed up and his dad was just a shitty person, especially looking at the circumstances under which he was conceived
Jake the snake vs Ricky the dragon , one of the best rivalrys ever . His snake was named DAMIAN lol .... he was awsome heel 🐍looks good n seems to be at peace with his demons now 🙏 pray that he is .
@@RideOrDieTV I f*** with Vlad interviews but this is one interview that really have me locked in I'm a 80s Nigga and this is one of my favorite wrestlers growing up I was so locked in and invested in this interview
To Jake's credit, he was a far bigger name, and a far better wrestler, than Grizzly Smith ever was
7 foot 400 plus pound pedophile is crazy
Grizzly who??
@@qbconnect2883 I think he said grizzly bitch? Never heard of him
And a better human being than Grizzly was. May his corpse rot in the pit of hell
That's how dad's pushed you harder back in those days so you can be successful
Jake The Snake is a LEGEND! 🐍
Facts 💯
@Loveitmanee a python or boa-constrictor at all times
Definitely a legend he entertained me through my childhood 👍
FACTS 💯... Doin the DDT on my lil brother got my ass kicked many times as a kid LMAO

Snake is looking good and clean. Glad to see him still with us, especially after his demons and so many wrestlers who are no longer here.
🙌🏾🙏🏾
Real talk. The fact that he is so open about his regrets can help other men. Great clip from start to finish.

@@poppinc8145 You are soft as cotton balls.
I imagine there are hundreds of thousands of dudes named Jake who got called Snake because of Mr Roberts. That's an icon.
Guys as transparent as they come. 👏🏻
With his dad being such a large man , I’m sure that was terrifying for his 12yr old victim
Its crazy after all these years...he still geels pain from what his father did
That’s called childhood trauma, it sticks with you all your life
He passed it down to his family tho the cycle continued.
This isn't even the hardcore stuff yet. His father was allegedly a pedophile/rapist and abuser. He was a horrible father and disturbed human being.

Awesome vlad..get more wrestlers for us 80s babies ...definitely would lovento here more of their lives coming up.
I would love to Kevin Nash on Vlad
Are you Jake Steed the porn star?
I’m a wrestling fan and Jake The Snake has a hell of a story if it wasn’t for DDP he said it on a documentary that he would be dead 💯
🎯💯
Great doc!
Much respect for the great Jake The Snake. Dropping that wisdom
Jake is the epitome of life , I wish him nothing but the best , he deserves it
Hollywood needs to get a top actor to play this guy in a biopic.
It would probably be the most tragic story ever filmed tbh. This dude has gone thru hell and back -_-
@@CDages I’m sure not everything in his life has been tragic.

The rumor is the movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke is based on Jake's life.
@@rhino3784 that film could apply to a few wrestler tbh....
This could get millions of views for this channel there's tons of wrestling fans.... who love old school wrestlers like Jake the snake
This will get more views than anything on here if he releases the entire thing.

I been a vlad Subscriber almost 6 years now. This is one of the most intriguing stories I’ve heard on here
He is a living legend
That will do it for a lot of us
One of the best to do it on the mic his mic skills were unmatched the way this guy cut a promo you had to believe him
Every pro wrestler thats married will tell you the exact same thing that jake said.. Im not surprised to hear it. Triple H said the exact same thing its hard to have a relationship when you are gone for most of the year.
Vlad be pulling off some crazy interviews. Like people you a really wanna watch but not even think about in the moment.
Damn he’s right in the end, when you work on the road messing with all these women and then you go home it feels a little different that’s the honest truth. Most of us won’t admit it
Any man that deals with multiple women experiences these feelings

Jake "The Snake" Roberts wore the coolest mullet back in the 80's! 😂
This man had a rough life and survived to entertain people. Perfect example of things can be worse

I ain't expect to see Jake on VladTV, lmfao. Best guest you've had on here. This is about as real as gets.
Jake Roberts is one of the best storyteller's in the business. He has a great mind for wrestling too. His gimmick in WWF was genius.
Darn Jake I feel your pain
Jake The Snake Roberts is one of best promo guys ever of his generation.
God couldn't you guys get him a more comfortable chair? Lol
Real Legend Got Nothing But Respect For This Men🐍
Thank god for ddp and the fact that he cared to save his friend!
Many people wouldnt step up like that. Jake looks good man
I can tell this is interview is gonna be amazing plus it’s one of favorite childhood wrestlers 🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let's goooooooooo one of my childhood favorite wrestlers

@@MyMg23 Well now I'm speaking to you...
@@ernestineballard4010 who were you speaking to on your first comment?
Jake the snake Robert is one of my favorite wrestler all time in wrestling
Imo, one of the first heels in the early WWF that people loved. He made it cool to be a heel.
JAKE DID AH GIVE DEM DI SNAKE 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jake's life story is a sad one, his relationships with his daughter and father are just messed up and his dad was just a shitty person, especially looking at the circumstances under which he was conceived
His dad got him messed up STILL. 😔
Legendary. Sorry to hear about your pops toxic attitude
The one! The only! JTS Roberts, my childhood hero, were lucky we still have Jake, alive and well
How can his dad ever call him shameless and gutless foh 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I either thought he was dead or I totally forgot about him. Glad to see he’s alive and looking good
JAKE THE SNAKE= LEGEND!
He too real for what he said at da end
😂 VLAD'S Okay pauses (OKAY...) cracks me up.
Jake was my favorite wrestler when I first learned of wrestling at 10 years old.
Just waiting for The Undertaker Questions but Jake is a definitely of a Legend.
And Andre, and macho man’s cobra bite, start of stone cold Steve Austin… definitely a legend
Jake, we still miss & love you in Shreveport.
👍🏻
This is GOOD. Awesome Vlad!!
Hands down the best promos still to this day
What a stand up dude One of my favorites
Parents please be involved with your children
Glad he's alive and well.
Jake the snake 🐍 is the man bring back the old school wrestling
Vlad got a legend in the house. The master of the DDT
what a legend
I remember reading about a wrestler saying they saw Jake in the Hotel lobby with 2 working girls in South Africa. I always remembered that.
Jake the snake vs Ricky the dragon , one of the best rivalrys ever . His snake was named DAMIAN lol .... he was awsome heel 🐍looks good n seems to be at peace with his demons now 🙏 pray that he is .
We love you jake, you was def better than your father
Definitely his dad's a pedophilic piece of sh!t
WOWWWWWWWW, What a Story. Props to GLAD for interviewing one of the greatest legends in WRASSLING!!!!!
JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Why is his story not made into a movie by now
Because pretty much everyone’s life would make for a good movie.
The "American Dream"Dusty Rhodes is my favorite wrestler.But this interview is Bonkers.Jake is a legend.
The end was hella funny lol
Sounds like Satan heard your prayers
Vlad you need to get more wrestlers from the 80s or the early 90s on your show
I will work on getting more 80s/90s wrestlers for Vlad. I got Jake/Vlad together.
@@RideOrDieTV I f*** with Vlad interviews but this is one interview that really have me locked in I'm a 80s Nigga and this is one of my favorite wrestlers growing up I was so locked in and invested in this interview
He should get HBK on!
@@hitek9too255 Shawn Michaels is not coming on VladTV

“ DDT DDT DDT DDT DDT DDT”
Thank you Vlad and Jake , for sharing this
I’m 41 and Jake the snake was and is wrestling royalty
I saw an interview of the "Late Great" wrestler "Bad News Brown." In that interview, he spoke highly of the talented Jake Roberts 'The Snake.'
Man was born behind the 8ball hard life you can hear it in his voice.. amazing he became a wrestling legend
I cannot complain about my Upbringing...😌😁😌😁😌😁
Jake with the DDT
Vlad when are you having Tray Deee, Gene Deal, BG Knocc Out , Earthquake back on?
Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪
Tray Dee don’t F wit Vlad no more
There's like 3 channels on YT that are obsessed with Tupac/Death Row and half their content is just that. Ask them.
@@smoovgee1434 Is that true? How do you know?
Funny thing is Grizzly Smith was a huge babyface.
R.I.P BTB SAVAGE
Remember watching Jake Roberts on television I watched so many times.
Ask him what he was doing in YoungsTown 😂😂😂
Jake is the man
Jack is the G.O.A.T
One of the best ever
He was the best on promos when he spoke u believed it man he was awesome
You the man Snake
💪 love this guy
I hope Jake forgave everyone that inflected pain on him.
Omg he was my favorite with Ms. Elizabeth ❤! What a blast from the past…
Ohh Yeaahh
That was actually Macho Man!
Bro ...his caption has nothing to do with damn near the whole clip 😂
One of a kind superstar.
Legend hall of famer Jake the snake
My Favorite Wrestler of All Time🐍
Facts Jake the snake legend ❤
LEGEND
Love Jake the 🐍 one of the last real ones and part of all our childhood's!
Hello Vlad. Please get Magnum T.A. It will be pure gold!! One helluva story, Sir.
The praying part wow. I can see why he calls himself the snake.
The DDT Man
When you’re father or whoever is messed up in head and shit it’s gonna be hard for them to be normal and not embarrass you and shit
Jake basically admitted that he sold his soul to the devil in order to succeed in Wrestling at the highest level. Wow. 😮
The devil is a lie
Definitely one of the people I used to look up to.
