Jake The Snake Roberts shed light on his memorable feud with the late Macho Man Randy Savage during their time together in WWE.
In an interview with WrestlingInc.com, Jake The Snake Roberts didn’t hold back, referring to Macho Man Randy Savage as a “psychotic son of a b**ch,” while also expressing his admiration for the talented wrestler.
When asked about his experience working with Savage, Roberts didn’t mince words. He described Savage as a “psycho” and admitted that Savage’s unpredictable nature posed challenges. Despite this, Roberts had a deep fondness for Savage and acknowledged his immense talent in the ring.
Roberts revealed a unique tactic he employed to handle Savage’s wild energy during their matches. He would consciously lean on Savage during the early stages of their bouts, gradually wearing him down. Roberts explained that once Savage began to tire, he became more receptive to the planned sequences and the overall flow of the match.
He’s a psychotic son of a b**ch, man. He was nuts. I love Randy to death but he was a psycho. You had to ground him. What I’d do is I’d go out and lean on him during the early part of the match until he got tired. Then, once he got tired, he was much more sensible in terms of what we were doing.
