10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Mar 4)

3. Jake Roberts Never Respected Abdullah The Butcher

Thanks to the love of his fans and a lot of help from Diamond Dallas Page, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts has seen his life completely turn around. Less than five years ago, he was contemplating suicide, but has been given a second chance at life due to his involvement with DDP and his yoga program. This renewed vigour hasn't entirely mellowed Jake out, mind. On occasion, the snake is still capable of spitting some venom when he feels like it. The most recent recipient was Abdullah The Butcher, one of the most notorious hardcore wrestlers in history. Rarely did an Abdullah match go by without the big man bleeding. Indeed, claret was a huge part of his act. It was also uncommon for his opponents not to shed some plasma, too. The Hannibal TV YouTube channel hosted an interview with Roberts, during which he chastised 'The Butcher' for his in-ring methods. In Jake's mind, carelessly bleeding all over his peers throughout his career was unacceptable. Holding nothing back, Jake also went on to call Abdullah a "piece of sh*t" and claims he never respected the way he worked.
