In a recent appearance on the “Pancakes & Powerslams” podcast, WWE and NWA alumni Sam Houston, the stepbrother of WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts, recalled working for Vince McMahon in WWE, what his condition would be for a potential Royal Rumble return, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working with Vince McMahon: “Well you don’t really realize how big [and] badly you’re getting screwed until after you get away from there for a long time. He never, well, I mean… you get faced with lies and everything in this business, it’s part of it. Would I ever work for him again? I don’t think so.”
On his condition for a WWE return: “I mean, I might do a Royal Rumble return. I would like to do that, cause I, since I was in the very first one. When they inducted [Jim] Duggan into the Hall of Fame, which I thought that was the greatest thing in the world, they played a clip of him going to the ring and it was good because, in that clip, I was in the ring doing really good for about, two and a half seconds. And then I was flying through the air, for about a second. And then that loud splat as my body hit the concrete because that was before they started putting padding down. We used to land on concrete, not a pillow comforter or whatever that is.”
