JAKE ROBERTS SAYS FANS WON’T REMEMBER 85% OF TODAY’S WRESTLERS IN A DECADE
During an appearance on the Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg podcast, Jake “The Snake” Roberts said that fans today won’t remember the today's in a decade.
“They don’t listen to me at all. Their idea is like, ‘I got a fat f*cking contract and we’ll ride this.’ I get it. 10 years from now, half those guys — you won’t even remember their names. I say 85% of ’em — you won’t even remember their names because they’re flash in the pans and they don’t have any character.”
“Jake ‘The Snake’ has not been in the ring since 1997, 2000? That’s 20-something years, and I’m so friggin’ busy now, man, I’m barely keeping my head above the water. I’m being buried with people wanting me to do things. I don’t see these young kids doing signings, and you know why? Because nobody knows who the f*ck they are. They go, ‘oh wait, I’ve seen him on TV.’ And then they see how little they are. Holy shit, they’re really blown away then.”
Jake is without question a legend in pro wrestling his promos were among my favorite as a kid and even helped me correct my stutter, I think he makes some valid points here though but it may be that there are just so many "Top Guys" today.
