Jake Roberts Calls Pro Wrestling A Crazy Business To Get Into

WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts took to an episode of his The Snake Pit podcast, where he discussed several topics, including the challenges of being a young pro wrestler.

Roberts said, “Yeah it was rough, man. I mean — I don’t know, man. Either you love it or you don’t. And for me, there was such a passion inside of me, I didn’t have a choice. I had to wrestle. Just to feel like I was breathing. Without wrestling, I was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Because my mind and my heart were just so into wrestling thing. I wanted to be very successful. I wanted to be twenty times better than my father. I wanted to achieve things he never did, and I was able to do those things.”

On wrestling being a crazy business to get into:

“It was a crazy business to get into. It was a foolish business to get into. You had to be a goddamn fool to get into it. But for some, it worked out beautifully. And it still does for a handful of guys. All I can tell you is, look at The Rock. There’s something you can go for. I mean, tell me he’s not successful.”
