‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage was immensely paranoid concerning the notorious snake-bite section he was part of, Jake Roberts has revealed.
The section in query noticed Roberts use his snake Damian to chunk Savage. Prior to the section, Roberts had proven backstage that the snake was not venomous.
On a recent version of the “Dark Side of the Ring: Unheard” podcast, Roberts recalled Savage getting unwell not lengthy after and blaming the snake. He stated,
“Randy convinced himself that he was getting sick. Then he wounds up getting a staph infection, so his arm blows up. [He’s] like, ‘God damn that f**king snake, look at this f**king sh*t man,’ so in his own mind convinced himself that, ‘That f**king snake had done that,’ wasn’t the f**king snake that did that Randy. You don’t get staph from a snake, you get staph from dirt.”
Savage handed away in 2011 on the age of 58. These days, Roberts works for All Elite Wrestling and lately re-signed with the promotion.
