Jake “The Snake” Roberts discussed a wide range of topics including the most painful in-ring injury he suffered on the latest episode of his “DDP Snake Pit” podcast.”
The former WWE wrestler suffered a ripped pectoral on an attempted clothesline against Andre The Giant.
“I remember going down and I thought I broke my shoulder,” said Roberts. “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.”
Roberts also recalled when he suffered a broken sternum twice in two matches against Vader.
“He crushed me in the corner and broke my sternum,” said Roberts regarding when he suffered a broken 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.”
