7 Most Evil Moments Of Jake "The Snake" Roberts' WWE Heel Run

7. The Betrayal Of The Ultimate Warrior

In the Summer of 1991, The Ultimate Warrior was having a tough time with The Undertaker and Paul Bearer, as they stalked him at every turn, even going so far as to lock him in an air tight casket during one memorable segment of 'The Funeral Parlour, which left Warrior openly afraid of "The Darkness" (no, not the band, although that would be understandable). Enter Jake Roberts, who reminded us that he knew just as much about the darkness as The Undertaker did, and he promised to share those secrets with the Warrior. The fans rejoiced at this alliance of two of wrestling's most beloved babyfaces. What followed was a series of bizarre tests for the Warrior, one of which included Jake coaxing him into laying down in the same coffin he almost died in, before slamming the lid shut and cruelly locking him inside once again. These tests all built up and climaxed with Jake locking the Warrior in a dungeon full of snakes and instructing him to open a box that sat amongst the serpents. The trusting Warrior warily made his way to the center of the room and opened the box...and was promptly bitten in the face by a King Cobra! As the Warrior slipped into unconsciousness at the feet of the waiting Undertaker, Jake grinned and reminded his fallen apprentice to "never trust a snake". Roberts had shown his true colors, and the era of "Trust Me" had begun. Unfortunately, in a strange twist, it was neither Jake or the Undertaker who would eliminate the Warrior from the WWF, but Vince McMahon when he fired Warrior due to legal issues, and the Jake/Warrior feud never got off the ground. Fortunately for Jake, a new victim was just around the corner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oBuUvlrgdM
