- WWE Hall Of Famer Jake 'The Snake' Roberts says Andre The Giant wasn't actually so scared of snakes that he eliminated himself from the Royal Rumble, he couldn't care less! #wwe #wrestling #andrethegiant #royalrumble
A lot of people don't realize Andre loved the idea of playing hurt or weak.
He just needed it to be believable, so when he had a chance to do something that would seem like it actually scared him he was all about it
i wonder if the reason why he was so willing to play the weak or scared giant was to make it so he'd seem more relatable?
@203arbour9 I think it's because he was such an incredible talent, not just in the ring but as a showman in the early half of his career. And a lot of the stuff he did especially after he was locked in with WWF just showcased him as an unstoppable Force. Things like this gave him the opportunity to just step out of that role, without damaging his character.
Snakes are also the perfect excuse for ANYONE to “break” their Macho/Stoic character too lmao which, to your point, is why it made it so great - because it’s believable.
@french6013 exactly.
I think he loved breaking the expectations of people about him as a giant wrestler.
Someone would think at first sight he was just a scary and fearless man all but it would never expect those moments of vulnerability and humanity coming from someone like him out of nowhere.
Obviously these moments of weaknesses didnt apply when dealing with other big guys because he wanted to make sure he was the only giant in the ring.
Every Andre story genuinely feels like a fairy tale
This one is easy fairy tale; say that a dead guy got bit and another dead guy noticed it. No one can prove he's lying. Classic wrestler's style of lying.
You guys are perfect examples of someone having a Lotta meat in them & on them....around them" down the hatch....up the hatch..,.just sayin....who knows right?....😁
@@Black-bn6icI mean makes for a story tho sometimes we just want the wild
To be true
Does anybody want a peanut?
@@Black-bn6ic
Yea no doubt
RICK: Hey boss, you got a pair of fangs stuck in your shoulders.
ANDRE: HAHAHA! Would you look at that.
When I look at Andre - it's in awe and reverence. When I look at Rick Rude - it's just sheer charisma and talent. (Dude was one my favorite wrestlers back in the days next to Perfect and Piper)
@@JoshuaSantell big fan of Ric Flair. Just didn't feel like making a list. And he goes without say, I mean c'mon he is a sixteen times champion (it's more). But Yup Flair is "The Man"
I read that in Andre's voice.
Pythons have teeth not fangs definitely not 2 inches long.
Read both lines in each voice lol love it
Andre had a lot of meat on him, and a lot of beers in him
pause
@@whataguyproductions1222ur prof👍🏻
And a lot of wine
Pause
What do you mean by that 🤨🤨
This generation was just full of Legends, what a time to grow up in.
Andre got bit, the snake got drunk.
😂😂
When someone is asked 'Who is on the Mt. Rushmore of wrestlers,no one ever says Andre. I'm not sure why. What he did for 30 years was unmatched. Long before there were 100's of tv stations to promote wrestling he was helping to sell out wrestling events through word of mouth everywhere he went.
Nearly everyone says Andre
@mycore3557 Apparently, you don't watch many videos of wrestlers answering this question. 🙄
@@mycore3557 No, everyone says Undertaker, HBK, Flair, Hogan, Rock, Austin. Andre is never brought up.
@@TripleFourSC Undertaker always mentions him...
First name Hulk Hogan mentioned, literally the very first name without any hesitation
Those bites on Randy Savage were different
Lmao I never forgot how Jake says “I paintbrushes the snake right before so he would be pissed got” 😂
macho man thought jake was after him and he only agreed to let the snake bite him if jake himself got bit first of course which he did.
The other factor is obvious: Andre was WAY bigger than Macho man.
That snake is a Cobra and not a Python and that bite Macho Man Ranfy Savage
Different snake brother. That was a King cobra that Jake was using. The two pythons had got old. Damien and the albino python. Macho man told him to let it bite Jake first behind curtain to ensure it wasn't poisonous.
It’s hard seeing these legends get old 😢
Yes, but better than them no longer being here to be getting older. Especially a guy like Jake, who was in a very dark place years ago from which it seemed unlikely that he would pull out, every year since his recovery he probably appreciates more than the average person. So many of the guys of his generation didn't make it past 50 or even 40...
Im glad jake is still around most of his peers are gone
That's so badass, 2 inch snake fangs in your shoulder. And didn't even notice, started playing cards until someone pulls out the fangs they noticed in your shoulder.
Fake story. Pythons dont have fangs and they sure as sh*t don’t have two inch teeth that fall out either.
The weekly shows were used to tease Jake catching someone with the snake. But they would always get away. So when it would finally happen the crowd would go bananas.
"then the crowd go banana" - Pat Patterson
Then Pat would grab your banana. @@AdamTheDroog
I love what you’re doing interviewing these guys it’s good to get these stories out into the wild. You know they are getting up there in age. .. you’re a great interviewer
The fact that Andre didn't know he'd been bitten by Damien is crazy 🤪
Jake the snake rocking the Wigan Warriors rugby league training top!! What a guy!!
Also wrestled once wearing a 1980s Wigan away shirt.
Yeah I wondered about that!!
Just seen it and replied, a month too late lol.
that's not the training kit. that is a one of a kind, specially made for him. it's snake skin pattern. there is an article all about it on the "Love rugby league" site. 🍒⚪💪
The fact that Andre isn't afraid of snakes but Jake is... Mind-blowing 😮
Funny plot twist lol
When you’re basically plastered 24/7
you’re probably not going to feel 2 inch long python fangs entrenched in your shoulder.
Andre sold that Snake phobia 💯 %
Even Damien was traumatized by Andre the Giant 😂😂😂
😂 Macho Man was afraid of snakes for real, omg the Rogan podcast where Jake tells that story is hilarious
Rick rude helping andre is cool😂
André apparently really liked Rick Rude
@rangelo8908 that's really cool to know ! Andre seemed to have great respect for talented wrestlers like rude. Thanks for sharing that!
@@basitquraishi6388 But he really disliked Macho & Warrior 🤣 it's funny all the Heenan family guys were pretty good friends
What a story.
And amongst the 3, Jake is the only one here to tell the story.
Who would’ve thunk it?
Jake’s blood could probably cure a lot of things.
Jake was the first big name wrestler I ever saw wrestle in the 80s ... I mean at an event
I grew up watching both Andre The Giant & Jake the Snake Roberts.They're both absolute legends!
I remember watching this angle as a teen and thought Andre was having a heart-attack. He played that so well. The way he was yelling for Bobby was perfect.
How did Jake has a legitimate fear of snakes while has pet snakes inside and outside of wrestling?
The batman syndrome..
The way I understood it, Vince convinced him if he took the gimmick he'd become a huge star. So he put up with it thinking it was the best chance he had. He didn't win any major championships in WWE but he is fondly remember as one of the greatest ring psychologists of all time and is in the hall of fame.
@marcpower4167 Hit the nail on the head. Jake was deathly afraid of snakes but cocaine, alcohol, money, and fame were much more convincing. I got to meet him a few years ago, and this was my favorite thing to find out. It was right before his documentary so wasn't common knowledge.
Fun fact : Randy Orton got his herpetophilia from Jake Roberts.
You know andres a tough mfer when you hear this story and think “aww I hope the snake was okay” 😂
Don’t worry, fake story
Pythons don't have fangs so thats total BS
They have some teeth that help hold prey. They are small but do look like fangs.
He said 2 inches long
@jdk1302 That's very possible. The Burmese python at the zoo I used to work at had some very large rear fangs. Look up a photo of python skull.
@@josephjerrell3488 yeah except pythons teeths are not 2 inches
Front or back none of them have 2 inch teeth
Not even anacondas have 2 inch teeth
Jake is lying for sure
Damn people give jake a break man doing Kfabe you new fools are not wrestling fans and don't see the rib on the fanboy host😂
Plot twist: Pythons don't have fangs. But it's WWE anything can happen 😂.
They 100% have fangs 😅
@@boogietwoshoes5737 No they don't?
Andre couldn't be bothered by such petty love taps.
Sorry--- Retics and Burmese pythons, DON'T HAVE "fangs". A 14 foot Burmese literally has 1/16th of an inch teeth to grab and hold onto its prey. When they bite, the feeling is called "angry Velcro".
Exactly...Jake has always been an unreliable storyteller.
Exactly!!! Jake is full of shit as.much as Hogan
QUIT EXPOSIN THE DAMN BUSINESS
They stapled them in the snake
Thankyou
Andre has got to be in Heaven now because every story I hear it seems like he was one of the most beloved, caring, compassionate and friendly people you would ever want to meet
That poor snake lol if i was getting flung around like that id be pissed and stressed tf out
❤
Yeah I'm not seeing a lot of animal rights coming from the pro wrestling/ actors. Not saying they were all garbage people, but lots were I'm sure.
Justice for Damien
@@thisisisabella3634 Wtf u talking about? Jake cared for his pets
A snake doesn’t feel emotional attachment to anyone. They don’t form bonds. They basically just run on instinct. A snake I would say would cope better than say a bear that actually can cope better in stressful situations like being tossed in a wrestling ring. Sure snakes can get stressed. But they can cope with a lot more then an animal that doesn't just run on intuition
Also you wouldn’t like that because you’re a human. This is a snake. You can’t project emotions on an animal that doesn’t share them. At all. The snake would cope better then a human
Everytime I hear a story about Andre The Giant, I have to remind myself he's not a fictional character.
Ah yes, the elusive Python Fangs
Andre was on the Snake Pit standing next to Damien unbothered before WrestleMania 3 vs Hulk Hogan.
Pulled two fangs out? That was a python.. they do not have fangs 😂
True.
They have sharp teeth, but not fangs.
Jake the Snake Roberts aka Aurelian Smith Jr is one hell of a great person and Andre the Giant Rosenoff was too. 2 legends that deserve respect for what they have done in their lives❤
Snake bite Andre, Andre eat snake...😅
(Andres voice)
Damien the burmese python had no fangs...
Now we know why! :)
They still got sharp teeth
For those who come here, there were multiple "Damiens" over the years of several different breeds and species. Some were defanged, some didn't have fangs, etc. (There were also several that were snakes he had but weren't called or supposed to be Damien.)
@wedgemccloud and none of them had fangs. You can't de fang an animal without fangs. They're non-venomous creatures with many teeth smaller than fangs no matter what species of python or boa it is. The fact is he just clearly lied about something for no real reason
Okay so...
First up, since pythons don't have venom, they don't have a venom delivery system and therefore have no fangs. Instead, they have rows of backwards curving teeth that allows them to grab onto prey.
Secondly, these teeth are about 1cm (less than half an inch) long. The only snake in the world that produces fangs (or any teeth whatsoever) of that size regularly is the Gaboon Viper. Some rattlesnake species are known to get very close to the two inch mark, but very rarely.
So no, Rick Rude did not pull a two inch Python fang out of Andre.
DDP and Jake were doing Jake's podcast and the question was asked if Jake really owned the snakes he used in the WWF. Jake said they were brought in by an outside company and he only had contact with them during a match or a house show. He actually said that Jake Roberts loved snakes, but Aurelian Jake Smith Jr, the man behind the character didn't like snakes at all.
wow its good too see jake the snake doing better these later older days of his life.. his struggles with addiction and financial hardship,he deserves to be back on top now and doing well physically spiritually. and sharing his well worth stories too hear of his glory days.. enjoy it man ddt.
So early to a clip!😊. I'm ready for War Games tomorrow
Should be a good one!
Lmao he looks like King Kong fighting with that snake.
Snakes are scary, but giants are on a completely different level.
How low those ropes went when Andre went over😂😂😂
Pythons don’t have fangs. They have teeth. But no fangs. 😂
2 " fangs is hogan level lying
Thatsa fact python fangs arent that long itd have to be a huge ass python ( way bigger than Damien)
They stapled them in the snake
@@davehendricks9529Pythons don't even have fangs.... Now Annacondas do..
😂😂😂
Pythons don't even have fangs
Giants eat snakes when they can't catch villagers and dwarves.
Flat out lie at the end there😂😂😂 fangs? I'm done😂😂
He was a severe alcoholic.
I can’t be the only one that heard Napoleon Dynamite with that “WHAT!?!”
That snake caught pure Hell.😂😂😂
Andre was the perfect definition of a Gentle Giant
That's the most André story ever 😂
Remember one of my mom boyfriend had a disc of all his fights I’ll never forget dude a was beast but so nice and gentle❤️💯
I wish I had a chance to see him wrestle when I was younger. I wasn't even a teenager yet when he passed. The stories I've heard about Andre are nothing less than extraordinary. Like the time he solo flipped a car after a bar fight with 4 men. When he lifted a car for his brother as a teen.
That was so long ago and i remember watching it. Those were great wrestling days with the Giant.
Remember this live. Crazy different now that I'm older and can listen to this backstage stuff.
Pythons don’t have fangs Jake..stop lyin😂😂
Andre was such a legitimate wrestler.. I think people remember the spectacle n everything but he really knew how to work a crowd and work another wrestler.. put em over or crush em.. he was SO good
Damion was actually very convincing then and even still is.
He didn't even know he got bitten he just shrugged it off and went back to work 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😆 why would he shrugged off something that he didn't even know in the first place something happened 😂🤣
Andre stories ate legendary
If Python don’t have fangs then what was pulled out of Andre’s shoulder?!? That’s the mystery here!
No mystery. Jake's lying....again. 😂
André the giant stole a snakes teeth 🤣 he was a legend to be fair to just adds to his greatness 💪👍
Not how pythons work but great story
There are numerous accounts of Andre being awesome to work with, as long as he liked and respected his opponent. And just as many beatings he dished out to people he didn't like or respect.
Never seen a snake lose its teeth by biting
Not only was Andre so strong that he didn’t feel the snake bite him but also after watching the doc on him, he was probably dealing with pain way worse than a snake bite on a daily basis.
Legend has it, the snake later apologized and needed a months recovery
Andre the giant must've drunk 156 beers that day because legend has it that's how many beers he could drink in one sitting. And given that a snake but him and he didn't even notice i bet that's exactly what he did before the event. 😂😂😂💯💯💯
Andre wasn't afraid of snakes as a babyface. Strangely, when he became a heel, his phobia started.
Andre is a true legend...it is too bad this younger generation doesn't have someone like him
Andre was the strongest guy respect that legend
I met Jake the snake personally when I was younger. He is one of the coolest guys you can meet
That python wouldn't eat for 10 years if he ate Andre the Giant..
"Andre went back to the locker room and he was sitting down playing cards"
Now why did I imagine Andre AND Damien playing cards against one another.
Hulk Hogan, no Bebe Oil!
-Andre the Giant
Poor snake :(
@OliverSandyBagskeep abusing animals and see how far you get in life 😊
Its amazing how rough he was on his own bodies during this time. He was already in daily pain and had trouble even moving too much. He must have been tough as hell.
These guys are for real phenomenal actors.
That's the fastest ive ever seen Andre move..He was like nooooope ✌️
People forget that it's neither hogan nor Austin but Andre that made wrestling mainstream.
So glad we still got Jake. We almost lost him there. I’ll always love Jake Roberts
Andre is like a superhuman dude drank so much was huge as hell strong as an ox and moved very well till old age finally caught up to him
No snakes were harmed in the making of this film
I’m surprised the snake would even bite him knowing how many beers he drunk lol
If I was that big a small spider would suffice in erasing my facade 😂
A pythons teeth are nowhere near two inches long. 😂😂😂
"Wtf is that on big bro's shoulder? Oh shit!"
- Rick Rude, probably.
You'd have to not be scared to agree to this
Jake was one of my favorite wrestlers. He just reminded me of the shade tree mechanic next door that smokes cigarettes and drinks beer all day but everyone knows, that he doesn’t fuck around at all. 😂😂 😂
Pull fangs out python don't have fangs
I remember Andre coming to town for a show and somebody threw a rubber snake into the ring during the match. Andre's fearful response was hilarious. What a performer 😂
Poor snake... Not a prop but a living being. Andre is such a legend, love him.
Andre the Giant ❤ A true giant also a Beautiful human being ❤
I always thought, Andre with so much Pain. He still Jumped
I thought lonely venomous snakes had fangs, not constrictors 😂
Snake was like nah I can’t squeeze or eat this human 😂😂 snake probably like wtf
The snake 🐍 "im not a fkn lasoo" 😂
He did a great act! One time, Jake had Damien out of the bag, Andre was hiding behind Bobby Heenan going "no!"
