During the latest recording of the DDP Snake Pit Podcast, 2014 WWE Hall Of Fame inductee Jake "The Snake" Roberts reflected on a few of his worst injuries. Check out the highlights below.
On an injury during a match with Andre The Giant:
“I remember going down and I thought I broke my shoulder. I’m just holding my shoulder and I’m wiggling my fingers, you know, trying to get the feeling back in them; and Andre reached down, and grabbed me by the hand and jerked me to my feet, which stretched that back out again. At which point, I decide I’m going to sleep. I passed out from the pain and when I woke up, Andre’s got me in a bearhug and he’s singing to me.”
On an injury during a match with Vader:
“He crushed me in the corner and broke my sternum. A broken sternum is real painful because it takes a long time to heal; and if you sneeze or cough, you want to rip your eyeballs out. It hurts so bad.”
