WWE Hall of Famer and All Elite Wrestling Star Jake "The Snake" Roberts took to his Snake Pit podcast and spoke about a number of topics such as how Bill Watts was seen as a lousy booker in WCW as he had other people booking [Mid-South Wrestling like Ernie Ladd and how Bill Watts would just go along with the ideas he and Ernie came up with.
Jake Roberts said:
“No sense at all. He had other people booking it [Mid-South]. Ernie [Ladd] is a different guy that was helping. I was a helper. That’s right. Yes, I booked with Ernie. So we devised the ideas, and Bill would go with it.”
Jake Roberts also spoke about the success WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons had in WCW as well as how Ron would have had ever more success despite being paired with Arn Anderson or himself.
Jake Roberts said:
“I knew he’d have success, but I didn’t know how much success he would have. Okay. You know, because it’s all about who they put you with. You know, it is. And I don’t remember who they wound up putting him with. So, you know, whether it be Arn [Anderson], myself, or whoever. But he would have grown more.”
