Why did Jake Roberts make such a big song and dance about backing away when Scorpio Sky went to the top rope during the ladder bout? The legend visibly threw his hands up in the air, turned his back and told the referee he wouldn't interfere.

The ref then warned him. Again, why?

This was a ladder match, so there was no DQ. Also, Jake got involved in proceedings a bit later on anyway, so this didn't make any sense.
