Speaking on a recent episode of his ‘The Snake Pit’ podcast, Jake Roberts recalled a humorous incident involving Paul Bearer in the Poconos, where Bearer expressed his insecurities about his appearance to Jake Roberts. Roberts shared that Bearer jokingly remarked that his wife being sick might actually help due to his self-perceived unattractiveness. He said,
“I got one for you. We were in the Poconos and it’s wintertime. There’s snow everywhere and everything and we go up there, and we’re doing a wrestling show at this big ass hotel that had all these honeymoon suites in it. And they gave each one of the wrestlers a honeymoon suite.”
“So, I go to breakfast the next morning and Paul Bearer comes in. ‘Jake, may I sit with you?’ ‘Sure.’ ‘Ohh what a horrible night.’ ‘Like what’s wrong man?’ ‘Ohh, my wife. Oh my God. I don’t know what I’m gonna do.’ ‘The f**k man, you’re breaking up, what?’ ‘It’s worse than that, Jake.’ ‘Did she die?’ He’s like, ‘No, God no, it might actually help.’ Hell, I’m like, ‘F**k man, what’s going on?’ He’s like, ‘Last night, I went to that lovely room. I took a sauna and steam and got into the heart-shaped bathtub. Drink some champagne. And then I kicked back on that big heart-shaped bed, and I look up at the f**king mirror on the ceiling and I look at my body and my gross f**king shapes. Couldn’t find my d*ck and I thought to myself, what f**ing woman would f**k that? Jake, I’m married to a sick b**ch.’”
