Flash Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 havent this posted anywhere which is quite surprising. 2day marks the end of an era, the era of the best heel in the wrestling & 1 of the best promo men ever. 2day marks the end of one of my heroes and idol, that man is none other then Jake "The Snake" Roberts. 2day he faces Sinn Bodhi in his retirement match. I wish both men good luck for the match & would like to say THANK YOU jake for everything you have done in this business & god bless you sir. What are memories of Jake, good or bad. Post vids at will
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 29, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 29, 2011 Try and give a clue as to the subject in the title please buddy. Does anyone expect Jake to stay retired? What else would he do?
Mock-The-Cross Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Jake the Snake, legend. End of. It's a bit shite that the match is not on a bigger stage though. I suppose he's got a little bit of sorrow with that from his addictions.
Beckham's Right Foot Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Does anyone expect Jake to stay retired? What else would he do? No. I don't know what else he'd do, but I am shocked he's still alive. Anyone know if he's stopped snorting coke off urinals?
HappyWanderer Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I suppose he's got a little bit of sorrow with that from his addictions. And starving his python to death too, hopefully.
Mr Mojo Rising Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I do not think there was a better heel in the early 1990's. Wonder if there is any chance of a Hall Of Fame induction?

The Wagon Man Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I bet you 1,000 snakes that this isn't his last match. Just out of interest, whereabouts is today's match taking place?

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 29, 2011 Paid Members Posted January 29, 2011 Hasn't he retired about 11 times now? If he really meant it he would do it somewhere better than fucking PWG.

I think the point is more that its at the WrestleReunion convention and PWG just happen to be running the featured show. Having your retirement match in front of a large number of your contemporaries and a good crowd doesn't seem like a bad idea to me.
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 According to his myspae page he, he's been aon a retirement tour and this is the end of it. Of ourse im sure if someone offered him $5000 he'd lace 'em' up again in a heartbeat. I am surprised that he's retiring though as from what ive seen over the last 7-8 years his match's have consisted of Opponent hits him Jake drops to the floor Jake takes kicking on floor opponent goes for finisher, Jake reverses and hits DDT, 1-2-3 end of match hardly a bump fest!, i'm sure most wrestlers could go on to 70 doing that routine. Looking at the way he huffs and puffs (just moving), his injuries, weight, and his less than healthy lifestyle (all those cigs alone will catch up to you, let alone the breeze block's sized rocks of crak he must haver racked up) i thinkn its justa case of it being too hard now. Truly a shame, personally i think his 92, Tuesday night in Texas Liz promo is one of the greatest promos of all time!
