Jake Roberts may not have held any gold in the WWF, but the man carried a trophy of his own. Damien, his pet snake, was brought to the ring for nearly all of Jakes matches, and after torturing his opponents with the reptile upon his victory, Roberts would raise Damien high for all to see. However, that wasnt the only trophy held by Jake The Snake during his time in the Federation. Roberts would hold the Million Dollar Championship briefly in 1990. Although, the title belt was an unsanctioned championship in the world of the WWF. Furthermore, Jake never defeated Ted DiBiase for the strap of gold and diamonds. Instead, he stole the belt and kept it in his canvas sack along with Damien, daring the Million Dollar Man or his bodyguard Virgil to try and retrieve it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMGqcPW0Zdw At WrestleMania VI in Torontos SkyDome, Jake went toe-to-toe with Ted DiBiase. Not only did DiBiase defeat Roberts, but Virgil would successful steal the Million Dollar Championship back during the course of the contest. Roberts would get the last laugh, however, as he laid out both Virgil and DiBiase after the match. He then proceeded to give away thousands of the Million Dollar Mans money to spectators at ringside.
