WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts was recently interviewed by the Wrestling Reality podcast. Roberts shared an Andre the Giant story which you can read below:
“Back in the day I was wrestling Andre which was quite the experience on its own. One night we had few too many cocktails, and it was his birthday so I understood. I knew I was in trouble when the referee came over and said Andre was being a bit playful. He’s trying to scare people. He’s trying to scare people by hiding and going out and saying boo. Are you kidding? How do you hide a giant? I get to the ring and Andre is doing this coming down the aisle and I’m holy crap wondering what I’ve gotten myself into. He got in the ring and jumps up and tries to grab the rope, he misses and lands on me adjusting my back and everything. Then my shoulder starts to vibrate and he starts laughing. Earl Hebner is like Andre why are you laughing, you’re not supposed to that in the ring. Andre screams, ‘I’m farting!’”
