On a recent edition of his “The Snake Pit” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts discussed the ECW product, his interactions with Paul Heyman, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his time in ECW and working with Paul Heyman: “You know, I was only there for two instances, and each time was just for a few hours. So as far as a lot going on there, there wasn’t much going on there. I spent more time with Paul Heyman at WCW. And Paul and I talked extensively about him managing me. So that was something that was tossed around quite a bit between us. And then I left.”
On the ECW product: “I thought it was a bit much, you know. Come on. Yeah, it was definitely a bit much. Princess Kimona Wanalaya, I thought that was a good one. Blue Meanie…great guy, great guy!”
On Tommy Dreamer: “Oh, he’s a great worker. Great worker. Hell, I DDT’d him one night [that he worked there].”
