10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (6 Sept)

2. Jake Roberts Joked He'd P*ss On Mick Foley At 'Mania 22

Back in the mid-90s, Jake Roberts was attempting to resuscitate his career by battling personal demons and sobering up. One day, he told Mick Foley that "the Lord had given him strength for one beer". That solitary drink turned into many, and Jake ended up so intoxicated that he p*ssed on Foley later in the night.

Yup.

Years later, Mick was preparing for a dangerous brawl with Edge at WrestleMania 22. He told an enthralled Starrcast crowd that the pair began discussing how they'd do their iconic Spear spot from the ring apron through a flaming table. That's when Jake rocked up to tell Foley he'd pee on him again if he couldn't extinguish the flames himself.

Yup x 2.

To recap, Roberts had already urinated on Mick once and jokingly offered to do so again if Foley's life was in danger. Mercifully, it didn't come to that, and Jake could keep his 'Snake' in his pants. What a mental image for Mick to have as he sold the fire.
