10 MORE Wrestlers In Situations That Scared The Sh*t Out Of Them

Your sympathy is with IRS here.
Jake Roberts was a f*cking sensational heel in the summer of 1991, getting renewed life from a feud with Randy Savage after his initial planned run against the Ultimate Warrior was aborted after the latter's sudden departure. Terrorising the Macho Man and his new wife Elizabeth with a King Cobra, Roberts eventually set the serpent on Savage's arm in one of the cruellest - and most haunting - sights in WWE history. Ahead of that, he gleefully d*cked around with the devastating creature in a pre-fight promos such as these, but some of his colleagues were understandably a little less comfortable with it than he was.
This otherwise-typical Survivor Series shoutfest is undermined by IRS' petrified eyes. The closest to the cobra, he reacts every time in makes a sinister switch in his direction, unhelpfully guided by the antagonistic slaps from Roberts himself. Shyster just about gets his spiel out, but unease is disarming for viewers, let alone the other supposed villains in the room.
