In the latest episode of the podcast “The Snake Pit”, WWE Hall of Fame inductee Jake Roberts spoke candidly about the pressures he faced during his time working with The Honky Tonk Man and Hulk Hogan.
Here are some noteworthy parts from the episode:
Discussing the difficulty he had while collaborating with the Honky Tonk Man, Roberts confessed, “Yes, I was really tense. His actions most especially, really offended me. It was a challenging period, even more so when he struck me the way he did.”
Roberts also touched upon the physical injuries he sustained from Honky Tonk Man’s guitar shot. He revealed, “I was aware that I was injured… Looking back, I should have undergone the surgery immediately.”
Finally, on the speculation of whether he could outshine Hulk Hogan as the leading star, Robert stated, “I have the confidence that I have the ability to do so if I was provided with the chance. However, I was aware that the chance was not coming my way. I felt stuck in a limbo.”
