20 Things We Learned From Joe Rogan's Podcast Interview With Jake Roberts

5. Jushin Liger Refused To Be In The Same Dressing Room As Jake

If any indy promoters ever book Jushin Liger and want to get a rise out of him, just mention that Jake 'The Snake' Roberts is cutting a promo on the same card. Don't be surprised if the Japanese legend then high-tails it out of the building to catch a quick flight. That's what he did during a tour of Australia in the mid-90s.

Liger told the local promoter in Melbourne that he couldn't share a dressing room with Roberts if the ex-WWF star was bringing a snake along with him. He's terrified of the things and demanded that he get a room to change that was on the opposite side of the building.

What happened next is like something out of a horror movie.

Jushin showered, came out and stood in front of a mirror drying himself. As if on cue, Jake's snake started rising out of the toilet behind him and looking around the room. A still-naked Liger ran out screaming down the hall, and Roberts told staff he'd lost his reptile.
