Former ECW star Tommy Dreamer has shared a narrative about how ECW boss Paul Heyman instructed him to get a snake for Jake “The Snake” Roberts’ look in ECW.
In a recent look on Roberts’ “The Snake Pit” podcast, Dreamer remembered the legendary star’s transient look on ECW, and the way he was ordered by Heyman to obtain a snake for Roberts.
“One of my well-known Paul Heyman conversations, he goes, ‘Tommy, I want you to get a 10-foot boa.’ And I went, ‘Wait, wait?’ He goes, ‘Go get me a 10-foot boa, I received Jake.’ That’s how he premises this and I used to be like, ‘Oh, that is superior.’ I’m drained, I simply need to go to mattress, I simply went to mattress three hours in the past, after which he goes, ‘Tommy, get a boa.’ And I used to be like, ‘Paul, it is 7 am on a Sunday. I can’t get … the place am I gonna discover a boa?’ And he goes, ‘Tommy, it is New Orleans, they’re in all places,’ after which he hangs up the cellphone,” recalled Dreamer.
The ECW unique revealed that he by no means looked for snakes, and jokingly apologized to Heyman for mendacity to him 25 years in the past.
“I reveal this to you first time ever: I by no means contacted or went to any native pet shops, did not look in all places for the 10-foot boas,” mentioned Dreamer. “But I advised Paul, ‘Hey, man, I referred to as a bunch of locations they usually could not give me a 10-foot boa.'”
Roberts was Dreamer’s thriller associate on the November To Remember pay-per-view in 1998, the place the duo confronted and defeated the crew of Justin Credible and Jack Victory. A yr earlier than his match on the aforementioned pay-per-view, the Hall of Famer made a shock look throughout Dreamer’s match in opposition to Jerry “The King” Lawler at the Hardcore Heaven pay-per-view in 1997, attacking each stars.
