10 Most Memorable WWE Funeral Parlor Segments
4. Jake "The Snake" Roberts (All Of Them)
Jake Roberts was and still is a poet.
In a world of giants screaming at the top of their lungs, Jake rose above the noise with a whisper. He understood that speaking softly with a menacing tone could get people to LISTEN rather than just hear. Some of his best work is littered throughout the calendar year of 1991.
Fittingly, Roberts was the Parlor's most frequent guest. Whether he was grappling with the loss of Damien and startling Paul Bearer with his latest python Lucifer in May, threatening to reveal The Undertaker's vulnerabilities to The Ultimate Warrior in July, or gloating about the long con he had been working against Warrior in September, the result was always mesmerizing.
It's unfortunate that his own personal demons kept him from accumulating any hardware during his career, but maybe that's the point. Much like the delivery of his promos being the antithesis of the norm, Jake didn't really need any of it to cement his greatness.
