Jake Roberts names his favorite opponent of all time, while also noting how his snake biting Macho Man ‘tickled the hell out of him.’
Throughout Roberts’ legendary career, he faced off with some of the biggest names in pro wrestling during his peak, including the likes of Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat, as well as several more. He was also no stranger to iconic moments, having his snake bite ‘Macho Man’ in an iconic segment.
While speaking to the Rival Room Sports podcast, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts was asked who was his favorite opponent during his tenure in WWE.
“Well, it’s a two-edged sword there. I kind of like the Macho Man things. That’s my favorite moment. That snake bite, man. That just tickled the hell out of me. Right? But my favorite opponent would probably be Ricky Steamboat. Yeah, we just had great chemistry together. It was like a chess match in the ring. It was a lot of fun for me.”
Last month, Roberts would announce his exit from All Elite Wrestling, you can read more about that here.
