Celebrations were cut short, however, when Jake KO'd Macho with a post-match DDT and threatened wrap the King Cobra around his throat. Elizabeth's effort to protect Randy was futile, as the grinning Roberts told her to beg for her husband's life before suddenly grabbing a handful of Elizabeth's hair and yanking her to her feet.

You just don't put your hands on Elizabeth, you maniac! In recent interviews, Jake has made it clear that he regrets this spot because it caused a great deal of friction with Elizabeth's family.
