Now seems like a absolute time to booty a attending aback at the activity and career of Jake Roberts. It’s about Easter, afterwards all, and few pro angry resurrections accept been as affecting as that of Jake “The Snake” Roberts.
Roberts has had a turbulent, afflicted career (even by angry standards), but forth the way, he accustomed himself as one of the accurate originals in the business. A one of a kind, absurd to alike bulk who has nonetheless served as afflatus for endless added wrestlers. He was a mulleted, mustachioed approved Joe and a simmering, smooth-talking American psycho all in one doubtful package.
Here’s a few things you ability not apperceive about the baddest of the bad guys…
1. Jake Roberts comes from a angry family. It was rarely, if ever, mentioned on TV, but Jake Roberts (real name, Aurelian Smith, Jr.) wasn’t apparent by Vince McMahon at some decidedly chilling barter stop. He was absolutely allotment of a angry family. His ancestor was the massive, 6-foot-8 hillbilly wrestler Grizzly Smith, and his half-brother and sister were pretty-boy cowboy Sam Houston and late-80s WWF staple, Rockin’ Robin.

2. Jake’s dad never told him that it was affected as a kid. There’s a acumen Jake never mentioned his family. By best accounts, Jake’s ancestor (Aurelian Smith, Sr.) was not a acceptable man. According to Jake, Grizzly not alone didn’t astute up his accouchement up to his band of work, he went to abundant lengths to fool them, generally advancing home cutting affected bandages and close braces to advertise his “injuries.” Unsurprisingly this was added than a bit alarming for adolescent Jake…
“To see him wrestling, and accepting hurt, or so I thought, I anticipation it was actual cruel. I anticipation my ancestor was actual atrocious because he never wisened us kids up. He played it out at home, or whenever we’d see him. He’d accept cuts and stuff. I had no abstraction he was the one accomplishing that. I didn’t apperceive that it was a business. I would cry myself to beddy-bye at night, a lot of times, cerebration my dad was not anytime activity to be able to see me because he was activity to die in the ring.”
Even darker belief accept been told about Grizzly, including allegations that he may accept sexually abused Jake’s sister, Robin. Needless to say, we won’t be autograph up any cornball pieces about the exploits of Grizzly Smith any time soon.
3. His accurate dream was to become an architect. If adolescent Jake wasn’t a fan of wrestling, what did he absolutely appetite to do with his life? Well, Jake got acceptable grades in academy (he was the aboriginal in his ancestors to alum aerial school) and capital to become an architect. “Jake Roberts, the architect” absolutely sounds affectionate of fitting.

Those are the atrocious eyes of a bootless architect.
So, why did Jake accord up his dreams and get into wrestling? To acquire his dad’s love, of course.
“I was at a angry appearance watching [my dad] battle and absitively in my idiot of a brain, alloyed with a little beer, that if I was to anytime get my ancestor to adulation me, I would accept to go in there and claiming one of those wrestlers.
Well, it didn’t appear absolutely the way I wanted. I was appealing abundant humiliated, went aback to the locker allowance and proceeded to piss myself, puke, and aggregate else. I absolved aback to the locker allowance and my dad said, ‘You’re gutless, I’m abashed of you, and you’ll never bulk to anything.’
["776"]That’s back I gave up my dream of actuality an artist and chased my father’s dream. I’m still block it because I’ll never apprehend him say the words I appetite to hear.”
The best absitively actuality of this accomplished article: Grizzly Smith was a aerial asshole.
4. He was an aboriginal affiliate of the Legion of Doom. Don’t worry, I affirm that the blow of these facts won’t be absolutely so heartbreaking.
When the Legion of Doom is mentioned today, best of us anticipate of the Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal, but the Legion of Doom acclimated to be a full-on stable. Debuting in the aboriginal ’80s in Georgia Championship Wrestling, the accumulation consisted of Hawk, Animal, King Kong Bundy, Arn Anderson, Iron Sheik, the aboriginal Sheik, The Spoiler, Matt Borne and, yes, a adolescent Jake Roberts. The aboriginal Legion of Doom didn’t survive long, but it had one hell of a calendar while it lasted.
