The famous segment between Randy Savage and Jake Roberts, where Randy was bitten by Jake’s snake, on his arm is still etched clearly in the minds of fans.
On the Joe Rogan Experience, Roberts revealed how this angle might not have even happened, if he hadn’t given in to Randy’s demands to get bitten by his own snake first. This is what he said:
“I’m in the laundry room behaving myself not minding a soul. In fact, I believe I was cleaning the blackboards off and making it nice for everybody. Macho [Man] walks in and says, ‘Alright, brother we’re gonna do it tonight I guess, huh? There’s a story f*cking going around, we’re gonna get down and do it.’ I said, ‘Okay, sounds great.’ — ‘We gotta take care of a little business first.’”
Jake asked Randy what kind of business he wanted to take care of and was shocked at his reply.
“‘About the snake’ [Macho Man replied] — Yeah? ‘Has he been fixed or not?’ Fixed, you mean poisonous? He goes, ‘Yeah that might be a f*ckkin’ problem’ I go, ‘Randy, of course, he’s been fixed.’ — ‘Maybe he has and maybe he hasn’t, stranger things have happened in the WWE somebody wants the Macho Man’s WWE Intercontinental Title and you put a f*cking poisonous snake on him and the rest is history. Macho’s dead, Snake’s the champ’ [Macho Man said]. I’m like, ‘Dude, are you f*cking’”
“‘Jake, I’m just telling you this he has to bite you now.’ I’m like what? He goes, ‘If not we’ve got to go at it right now me and you!’ He’s up in my f*cking face with his fist and I’m like, f*ck man, what the f*ck is wrong with you? ‘Don’t play no f*cking games, Jake get the f*cking snake out!’ So I got the f*cking snake out and I’m like you psychotic motherf*cker I’m like any special place you want it to bite me like my d*ck?”
“He’s like, ‘Anywhere’s good. How about the leg?’”
Jake would then get his cobra out and get bitten in the leg for a few seconds. Unconvinced, Randy told him not to move or take an antidote for the obviously venomous snake. He made Roberts sit till for a while and then after being convinced, Jake said “Sorry I didn’t make you happy.”
