Jake Roberts Bashes Dixie & TNA

Jake Roberts

Jake “the Snake” Roberts got with the Busted Open Radio show this week, and had some harsh words for TNA’s Dixie Carter and Hulk Hogan, and much of the business in general.

 ”Vince McMahon and the WWF did a hell of a deal turning this into such a monster. His machine is unbeatable. I mean, don’t kid yourself TNA, you’ll always be third stream; there is no second stream. You’ll be third at least because there is no way in hell you’re gonna catch these people, and you might as well forget about it and quit telling the people you are.”

Jake didn’t stop there, turning his sights direction on the TNA President, and the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan himself:

“You got people in the wrong positions, you got people that shouldn’t be in those positions. And Dixie Carter—for whatever she is—I think she’s a mark! And for whatever Hogan is, Hogan’s not a booker! Christ. I mean, thank god they got rid of the jerk, the one that destroyed the WCW. What was his name? RUSSO! He’ll probably go in the goddamn Hall of Fame before I do.”

The master of the DDT has made a few brief appearances for TNA, but in 2006 his in-ring promo was so inaudible and incoherent, with  Roberts falling over several times throughout the segment, which was edited down to just 15-seconds for the television broadcast. Jake “the Snake” recently moved in with friend and fellow wrestling star Diamond Dallas Page – along with Scott Hall – to get his life back on track.
