7 Most Evil Moments Of Jake "The Snake" Roberts' WWE Heel Run

Looking back at when "The Devil Himself" was at the absolute top of his game.

To a new generation of fans, the name Jake Roberts has unfortunately become synonymous with words like drugs, alcohol, addiction, rehab and...erm, yoga. All of this can be seen in the recently released "The Resurrection of Jake The Snake", the critically acclaimed documentary that was released on iTunes last week after a well-received theatrical run. But, before all of Jake's personal problems became public and threatened to define him, he was one of the greatest talents in the history of WWE. And for a very short time, he was also one of the company's most hated and despicable heels. In just nine months, while performing as one the most vile and truly evil villains in wrestling history, Jake racked up one disturbing moment after another as he antagonized legends such as The Ultimate Warrior, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker. Jake helped redefine what a wrestling heel could be, shocking audiences with his dark and devious antics. So with the documentary reminding everyone of Jake's contribution to the visit, let's revisit what is such a short - but unforgettable - chapter in Jake's long and storied Hall of Fame career, and highlight the genius and the talent that The Snake possesses, far beyond any personal problems he endured.
