– Jake Roberts was interviewed at www.RingTheBellRadio.com and talked about the origin of his gimmick. “I came up with the idea on my own. I was a Ken Stabler fan, he used to play for the Oakland Raiders. He was a wild child on and off of the football field. His nickname was “The Snake”. I always liked the name Jake, and during that time there was a TV show called Dallas. One of the characters on that show was JR. So I came up with Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts.” Roberts says he’s currently writing a book and creating some of his own DVDs.
