God bless you Jake, you're a living legend. Thank you for all you've done.
I am so thankful he was a part of the business, loved every time he was on stage and doing promos!
Ultimate warrior was my favorite wrestler growing up and even though he's no longer here he will always be he's the guy that made me love wrestling
Me too sir!!! I’m a forever little Warrior
Agreed 👍
Same. Don't care that he didn't use technical skill. His character didn't call for it. He was an unstoppable comic book heel-destroyer that was electrifying for us kids on Saturday afternoons.
Dude was embarrassing unless you were a little kid. Quit watching because of him. Came back in 96 when the nwo was being formed
Not me. Machoman
Jim seemed to have this internal sense about things. That he knew his time was coming to an end. Say what you want, but that last year with him was special. The way he knew to apologize to Jake demonstrated that he had, in fact, been thinking these things through. the way he made up with so many people in such a short time-span. Warrior HAD to drop quite a bit of pride to do that.
100% agreed. I actually just watched the Warrior documentary on A&E Biographies. He was a really complex guy and he held a ton of bitterness...but allowing himself to let all that go, i think that really freed him. So sad that he died after he finally found peace, but thank goodness that he found peace though
As people get older they change. Mostly for the better.
TRUE, WORDS 😉
I grew up in the 60s and must say some of The most powerful words are "I was wrong."; "I don't know." and "I am sorry." oft saw Jake Roberts on NWA for JCP and Ultimate Warrior was a huge star in WWF. The fame and steroids got to him.
This is great to hear. There's nothing better than two grown men maturing and realising life is too short for bitterness. Jake and Warrior should both be proud of burying the hatchet. It's just a shame we never got a podcast episode with Warrior and on The Snake Pit.
I was hoping for Jake vs Warrior at Summerslam and always wondered if Warrior was supposed to be the team Captain instead of Sid at Survivor Series 1991. Solid 4 month buildup in the feud, just never got the big ending match.
When we are young ,we think we have all the answers.
But as we age ,we slowly realize something....
Wait a minute.....
What are all the questions?
Then and only then ,do we truly gain wisdom.......
Glad to see that Warrior finally realized what he had done and tried to make amends.
And kudos to Jake Roberts.His life hasn't been easy ,but he's used his head ,heart and mind to not only put his past behind him .And along the way ,became a bit wiser.
Damm...I could write greeting cards.
That DDT. HOLY CHIT!
The Warrior seemed to know he was about to die.
I actually really like this podcast better than the one He did with DDP. Nothing against DDP He's a busy guy and doing Gods work half the time. However I still have a hard time respecting The Warrior. He was a Flash in the pan but Good for Jake for forgiving Him in the end. Jake Rules and I'm so glad He's still here telling us these stories.
Yeah it is deffinitely better without DDP's overbearing ,corse & uncouth personality. Does he do some good things for people? Yeah i'm sure he does! But how much of it is a gimmick to gain adulation and get attention for himself? I really don't know and don't want to be judgemental regarding him as i could be totaly wrong but he just rubs me the wrong way whenever i hear him talk.
As for Warrior that's another question mark there. He did & said a lot if shitty things and then did all the apologies etc at the hall lf fame but had he not died perhaps he'd have eventualy went back to the unattractive manner & the rather nasty things he said about people.
I strongly believe that Jim/Warrior knew something regarding his health that nobody knew except his wife.(IE his heart health) And he knew that his days where vastly numbered so he wanted to take every opportunity to make things right with those he screwed over and/or pissed off especially in the WWE. He even made piece with Hogan when Hogan approached him . Jake Roberts was one of those people that the Warrior really wanted to make things right with. Glad that things worked out the way it did with him and Jake. Then when the Warrior cut that promo on Raw, holy crap I knew something was up with him when I heard his speech. So when I heard about his death the following day I was surprised that it was so soon after but I wasn't shocked if that makes sense.
Now that I think about it like that, it does in a way make sense. I remember watching Ultimate Warrior walking down to the ring on the Raw after WrestleMania 30 & he looked he was sweating. After cutting that promo, he was having a very hard time taking off that Warrior mask. At that point, I just thought it was because he was a little out of shape & he was obviously way past his prime at that point. But to see the news that Warrior had collapsed in a parking lot & died from a heart attack that very night, to say that I was shocked would be putting it very lightly. But after you put it like that, I think it's slowly starting to make sense. All & all, I'm just very glad that he got to make amends with Jake Roberts, Vince McMahon, & Hulk Hogan. More importantly, he was able to connect with his warriors one more time. At the end of the day, I don't care who comes & goes, nobody will have that same energy as The Ultimate Warrior.
OG JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS#1
Jake I always liked watching you wrestling from mid atlantic to the wwf and were ever else in between the ddt was the most awsome looking move of any wrestler .
I've been a huge "Mark" for Jake Roberts for almost 35 years. I've cried at his downfalls and smiled at his successes.
However, like Hogan, I've learnt to swallow almost everything he says with a spoonful of salt.
I really don't think Jake was going to slug the Warrior lol, but i could definitely see some kind of crazy confrontation happening
so glad to see this shit didn't happen
It seems Jake is drying his underpants on the shelf behind him
The cost of utilities have went through the roof lately! The local laundramat charges 25Cents per 5 min for the dryer.
Well, what do YOU do? Wear ‘em wet?? 🤷🏼♂️
He's been snicking a few sniffs from the local 21yo
Would have 100% loved to have seen Jake take the IC title from the HTM in late '87 or early '88.
Never heard that Jake was going to punch Warrior at the Hall of Fame and I don't believe he would do there. I heard he was going to confront him which I do believe. Either way, I'm glad Warrior apologized and made amends with Jake, Hogan, Slaughter, and others at the hall of fame.
I love Jake but does anyone believe that Jake Roberts was going to fight Ultimate Warrior at the backstage of the Hall of Fame ceremony?
I never heard of a story where Jake Roberts was in a fight with anyone. Have you guys?
Absolutely not! You beat me to the punch.
Wanting to and actually doing it are two totally different things. Do I believe he wanted to at one point? Hell yeah. Do I think he actually would’ve done it? No.
Not remotely. Jake is still a liar and I don't believe for a second that he's sober. Look how inflamed his face is? Lol
Yeah. His whole story of Warrior apologizing to him sounds like BS.
@@thegoldentroll AEW is going to use him as the new Brother Love.
He knew he was going out
Glad they worked it out.
You can see the apology on the Warrior week thing. Jake’s sitting down and Warrior walks over to him. Jake wasn’t even looking at him until he’s in front of him.
Wanting to fight and someone getting the better of you are not mutually exclusive. Besides, if you are mad enough, its not impossible to take out somebody you never should have been able to. Lots of people truly believe they can take someone they never could. Its called bravado. Even if you accept the idea that Warrior, even in his state of health, could have whooped Jake, that does not even insinuate he is lying here.
Jake is looking rather red in the face
I’m pretty sure it’s the medication he takes
what did warrior say? as the apology to jake
I doubt jake would have punched him if he did I put my money on Warrior
Even the worn out, near-death version of Warrior would never have gotten KO'd by Jake Roberts in a shoot...
Yah exactly lol
I don’t believe Jakes story at all
So many including Jim Ross has said that Jake was never trustworthy for a world title run
Vince never wanted Jake to have a world title run either as that was also confirmed by Jim Ross
Whatever the beef was though it’s a good thing it’s buried at least
R.I.P Warrior
as soon as he said "i walked up to him ready to drop him" i had to pause so i can laugh. jake isnt dropping anyone in a shoot fight lol
Warrior was fucking embarrassing to watch and made being a wrestling fan pathetic.
He killed off wrestling from 89/90-96
I can't imagine Warrior apologizing. I respect Jake for his legacy and as a brilliant wrestler, but he was one of his haters for many years. Assuming this story is false, he had to find a way to reconcile his differences by showing empathy, but also justifying the negativity and criticism he threw in Warrior's direction. He wasn't the only one. The industry turned on Warrior.
I could see Jake walk up to Warrior at HOF and give him a DDT but Warrior gets up right away and starts thumping his chest
Wonder if Jake still has a snake. 1-9-23
Jake seems to be mean when he talks but when he was younger and face to face he would not try to punch him
It would have been nice if the interviewer asked Jake why he wanted to punch Warrior. I have my ideas, but that important piece was left out here.
0:55 Jake was gonna drop warrior!? 😂 Jake could barely walk by 2010. How the fuck did he think he could drop Warrior
The way Jericho handled Goldberg. Just because you can bench press 500 lbs doesn’t mean you can fight or wrestle. Royce Gracie whipped dudes 200 lbs heavier because he could fight
Bill wyatts
I doubt he was gonna punch him
All these old wrestlers bashing on the warrior would never say it to his face. Maybe they was jealous, because he could draw a crowd and make people tune into wrestling!
"what are you in prison for?"
"i killed a ultimate warrior"
😲
lol
How he know that he could’ve just dropped the warrior?
I don't believe for one second that at the HOF ceremony that old Jake was gonna hit Warrior. It wasn't ever gonna happen. It just wasn't. Nobody with a brain would believe that.
Personally.... I liked the Ultimate Warrior until he won the WWF championship. I liked Hulk Hogan until he beat Yoko at WM 9. I liked the NWO until the Finger Poke of Doom.
Jake would have been a great champion if there was a proper buildup to him becoming the champ.
Warrior had them beach muscles. Jake gives serial k*ller vibes. Like he could really hurt someone if he wanted to.
Jake is wasn’t punching anyone lol
Who knows how genuine "woi-yas!" Apology really was and how much it was just to save himself from an ass whooping! The guy was arrogant and rude. Perhaps he did change somewhat towards the end but we will never really know. Just like we will never know what "the great books if the western world" really were. That he refered to quite a lot. Which books....? He acted like we are supposed to automaticaly know which ones it was.
Jake was way more badass than Warrior.
If he punched Warrior, Warrior would probably have ripped him apart.
Warrior would of whoop that azz
@@harveymcelroy9332 not really. This ain't a scripted match
Not really dude. Warrior can't fight in real life. Got his ass kicked by Rick Rude in a real fight once
@@NetimeGames yes really Warrior would of humiliated Jake's ass smh
@@NetimeGames that's Rude not Jake though
HTM had said Jake would not use 10 dollars worth of quarters to hit somebody. He's a lying addict and Jake's new addiction is telling BS stories
Not to say I believe Jake would get into a brawl with someone, especially not of Warrior's size, but citing HTM to cast shade on someone else's credibility and trustworthiness is prime irony.
Warrior and Jake were on a TV show in some other country, in 93 it was a talk show , they both were on the same card to wrestlers other people but in the same building, jake said last time he saw Warrior was summer slam 91 so that was not true, so how come jake didn't knock out Warrior in 93 come on jake more bullshit, the interview with them both on that talk show is on RUclips, go check it out ,
I was going to blindside him but wait he calls the Warrior a piece of 💩?
By the appearance of Robert's looks as f he needs to apologize to his liver...JS
This story is cap,Warrior would have fucked Jake up too.
?
That happened on my birthday January 27th
