In the latest episode of Jake Roberts’ “The Snake Pit” podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer touched on the increasingly common trend of wrestlers enduring high-impact falls on the ring apron, known for being the most rigid part of the wrestling ring.
Excerpts from this podcast episode are available as follows:
Focusing on ring apron falls, Roberts had this to say: “It’s pretty mindless. Seriously, what are you subjecting yourself to that for?… Sure, I’ve landed flat on the apron before, but it’s certainly not something I’d advise.”
When asked about Goldberg, Roberts shared his point of view, divulging: “He’s a transient figure, mate. He never had the passion to be a wrestler nor did he ever want to be one. Over time, I gathered enough information to know I’d never want to pair up with him in the ring… He certainly nailed the look, though.”
Following are further details discussed on “The Snake Pit” podcast, episode number 135, titled “Ask Jake Anything 33”. The source video itself is available for viewing at the provided link.
