Mean Gene Okerlund interviews Jake Roberts about The Undertaker (03-08-1992)

He knew this was his last match with the company, and he still gave the buildup everything he had.

30 years later and this still gives me the chills straight to my skinny little spine. The absolute best storyteller of all time

Jake the Snake Roberts have the best promo

Jake Roberts learned to be an evil heel in Florida working with Kevin Sullivan and Dusty Rhodes

I had to watch this 5 times lol. Undertaker ministry of darkness doesn't have shit on Jake the Snake. He's the real deal. He's the evilest character in wrestling.

His promo got him destroyed

Macho man and Jake great promos

Tremendous. What an evil heel.

You know I've seen him conduct SO many interviews o'er the years, and in not a single one of them did Mr. Gene Oakland ever appear to be even remotely "Mean." Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact!

Honestly, I just do not know how on Earth Terrance got the idea in his head that, of all people, loveable old Genie was some kind of a meanie. 😕

Ruthless and sadistic I like it 🙂🐍

Jake calmly doing his promos is always more menacing than hollering into the mic. His message was always delivered crystal clear. Heel Jake was one of the absolute best to ever do it.

even gene was speachless at end lol thelook on his face when he walked away

I saw the length of this video and thought that it might drag on, nope! Flew right by. I hung on every word. Jake's a master

A little Snakepeare... genius

God I wish Taker had put Jake over

Loved him as a heel especially the second time.

If Jake had ever written a book...especially about the art of ring psychology and promos...no title would be more perfect than Snakespeare.

I will take that hammer and I will crush your stinkin' scull!! No one today can say it as convincingly as Jake said it....

Wrestlemania 8 is one of my all time favorite Wrestlemania's, it's in my TOP 5 Wrestlemania's of ALL TIME.... It's a VERY underrated Wrestlemania in my opinion

He scared me as a kid, and I still cheered for him.

The ultimate promo man!!

Jake was the most compelling wrestler to ever speak.

What a great program it would have been with Jake and Ultimate Warrior.

There's a lot in this interview from the real Jake Roberts ...

Who says they would win the gold for clubbing seals LOL comedy gold

Jake talking about cremations in the 1992 WWF!

Jake should of been the higher power. 😭

He literally knew the dark side

Man, tell me why Jake the Snake just now after 28 years finally made me realize Paul Bearer is a play on the word “pallbearer”... Lol you learn something new everyday!

He wanted everyone to hate him. He did it.

That's a pure evil heel right there. He actually threatened to kill Undertaker and Paul Bearer by burning them alive in a crematorium.

When wrestling was actually interesting

No way he could get away with saying that on tv today

Jake...the greatest what if story in all of pro wrestling. He could have been the greatest heel of all time by a distance. Psychology like no other....its different, like...its still real to me dammit but with Jake you dont really know because he has that darkness in him

This guy was great

Jake always cut them heart felt promos that makes u appreciate him more.

That look of disgust from Okerlund when Jake mentioned foreplay was a nice touch. Mean Gene knew how to work off the superstars.

Snakespere...nice jake

This epic heel promo was from the March 8, 1992 edition of Wrestling Challenge. But just a mere 6 days later, Mean Gene & Jake Roberts almost repeat the promo word-for-word during the March 14 edition of WWF Superstars of Wrestling. The latter is featured on disc 2 of Jake Roberts' "Pick Your Poison" DVD that was released in 2005.

Jake in his prime would've been money in the attitude era.

"If the winner olympics, had an event, I would win the gold medal." This the last sentence like jake Roberts before wm 8.

My all-time favorite

Clubbing seals for the gold 🏅. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Awesomeness 👍

I could imagine how much of a sick criminal he would be if he was like this in real life.. I'd get death threats for the clubbing seal line alone on the news, a talk show etc.

No body stands up to jake, they won't, not even stone cold

I'd watch them Olympics

TRUST ME!!!

"Snakespeare"...that's gold, would have been a terrific name for one of his reptiles. 🐍
