Jake Roberts On The Injury That Forever Affected His Voice

Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts has opened up on the injury that would forever change how he sounds.

Roberts is instantly recognizable for his raspy voice that helped make him one of wrestling’s most chilling stars during the peak of his career.

On “Hey! (EW)” Roberts said that an injury would forever change his voice which was caused by Florida wrestling mainstay and former Olympian Bob Roop.

Roberts explained that Roop dropped a knee on his throat which would accidentally crush his vocal box and would change how the future WWE Hall of Famer sounded in promos.

Despite the injury, Roberts is pleased that his sinister voice helped elevate his career and went as far as to thank Roop for the injury to his vocal box.
