10 Surprising Cameos By WWE Wrestlers In Cartoons
3. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts - Lucas Bros Moving Co
Lucas Bros Moving Co is an animated comedy starring the sibling duo of Kenny and Keith Lucas. The show revolves around the work-shy antics of the brothers as they attempt to run a moving company, getting themselves in a number of wacky, psychedelic scenarios along the way. Several of which involve an appearance from Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.
As a megastar of the '80s wrestling boom, Jake Roberts is one of the most well-known grapplers in WWE history. Despite this fact, his appearances outside of the wrestling realm are surprisingly slim. However, as part of Lucas Bros Moving Co, Jake became a recurring character, appearing on several episodes throughout the first two seasons - most notably episode one, titled "DDT".
In the episode, the Lucas Brothers are hired to shift a heavy, oak bed - complete with bed dweller - and enlist the help of the slippery Jake 'The Snake' Roberts for assistance. When 'The Snakeman' unwittingly unleashes "DDT" on Brooklyn in the aftermath, the Lucas Bros are tasked with reversing it's effects.
The Lucas Bros' love of wrestling is subtly reiterated in each episode, with several wrestling posters decorating the walls of the twosome's apartment. There are also countless references to Bret Hart throughout, so keep your eyes peeled for 'The Hitman' if you decide to give the show a watch.
