Jake Roberts – ‘I Was Never A Fan Of Bret Hart Or Shawn Michaels’

On the latest episode of his “The Snake Pit” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts discussed a myriad of topics pertaining to professional wrestling.

Roberts declared that he was neither a fan of Shawn Michaels nor Bret Hart during their time as main event stars in WWE.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On why he wasn’t a fan of them: “Neither. What for? Better performer? Shawn. Bret just gets dull at times. His interviews aren’t up to par. I don’t think what they should be for what position he held. I think his interviews were poor at best.”

On their in-ring styles: “They were part of that era that quit selling things, you know, and just did everything. I will give it to Bret that he did wrestle a lot more than Shawn. Bret to me, I’m gonna get myself in trouble here. He just wasn’t a champion to me. There I said it. Neither one of them. Styles, size, everything, they were much smaller than what we’ve been accustomed to. Neither one of them looked like Bruno (Sammartino).”

On neither guy being a huge draw for WWE: “That’s what I think it was. Shawn didn’t set anything on fire either.”
