10 Times Wrestling And Animals Didn't Mix

10. Randy Savage Vs. A Snake

It's been said before and it's worth saying again - Randy Savage was a nutcase.

Whether it was cutting promos on cups of coffee, his turbulent relationship with Miss Elizabeth, or the rap album he released, nothing Randy Savage ever did made a lot of sense and it was hard to imagine what was going on inside the head of the Macho Man.

Especially when that head decided it would be a good idea to let a live snake bite him.

On an episode of WWF Superstars, Savage was on commentary duty when his rival, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, called him out to the ring. Savage made his way down and was blindsided by Roberts, who tied him up in the ropes before unleashing an actual cobra on the stricken Savage.

Whilst you might think that the WWF came up with a clever way to make sure Savage didn't get hurt by the reptile, you'd be dead wrong.

Savage - who, as we mentioned, was a nutcase - decided that the only way to make the snake biting him seem real was to have it actually bite him.

Yes, Randy Savage was once bitten by a snake on live TV.
