10 Times Wrestlers Pulled Back The Curtain
8. Jake Roberts
An early example of WWE using the invisible camera rather than an on-the-scene interviewer, Jake Roberts' attempt to smash Miss Elizabeth in the face with a steel chair was a unique glimpse at the backstage area for the benefit of babyfacing a future company icon.
After a February 1992 Saturday Night's Main Event loss to Randy Savage seemed to finally put a bow on their on-screen rivalry, Roberts fumed on the other side of the curtain, weapon in hand. In the arena, Savage and Liz continued to switch places as they marched triumphantly to the back.
Vince McMahon's screams could do nothing to change the inevitable; one of them (Roberts didn't give a sh*t which) was going to eat one right in the face. Luckily for the happy couple, 'The Snake's former ally The Undertaker appeared to pull the chair away. 'The Deadman' hadn't just saved the Savages' skins, but made a powerful enemy out of his former friend. His turn would be cemented in a dominant WrestleMania victory just weeks later.
