Jake Roberts Reveals The Reason Why He Didn’t Work WrestleMania XII

Jake “The Snake” Roberts made his WWE return in 1996, yet he didn’t make an appearance at WrestleMania XII despite partaking in the Royal Rumble and the King of the Ring finals that year.

Speaking during a WrestleMania XII watchalong on AdFreeShows, Roberts revealed that he wasn’t in the proper physical condition to compete at WrestleMania. He said,

“The biggest problem was I was out of shape. It was all on me. I was 40-50 pounds overweight.”

Roberts stated that he wished that he had asked for six months to get in shape instead of making his return at the Royal Rumble that year. Roberts was eventually released from WWE the following year.
