Jake Roberts has had a hall of fame worthy career, but he never managed to win a world championship.
WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked if he had any concerns over never winning a world championship in his career, Roberts said he didn’t and joked that he was glad he didn’t need to carry one of those titles around with a 50 pound snake as well.
“Not at all. My god, I’m grateful I did not have to carry that too,” Jake Roberts said. “You know, I carried a 50 or 60 or 75 pound snake around, and we’d be on the road for two and three weeks at a time, all your clothing, everything you gotta carry, the last thing I want is a 10-pound belt to carry around too.
“Would I’ve liked to have had a championship? Yeah, of course. That would have been something, but I had had several championships up until then, maybe not WWF Championship, but I’d had several Calgary, I had it in Louisiana and mid-south. I had it in Texas. I had it in different places around Mid-Atlantic. So I’d had my time with the belts. I mean, it was all right, I would have liked to have had the money that is associated with that belt. But how can I complain about a career that I had?”
