Jake used to always dress sharp durning those early Wrestlemainia years of the late 1980's and early 1990's!! Everytime his snake-pit segment came on the tv show, there'd be Jake and dressed just like them hip "New Jack Swing"/R&B artists of the day!!! Wish the legend well!!!
I was such a warrior fan as a kid....was so bummed when I found out what a pos he was towards his fellow wrestlers.....but the whole warrior and Jake vignettes are fucking amazing and hilarious
I've already heard this story before but could someone please explain to me why just because Warrior was fired that Jake couldn't just work with someone else for a title run, when that's what the hell he was promised?? That's what I've never understood. It's ridiculous.
Hulk wouldn’t work with him because he would for sure get cheers over hogan. Andre I think offered to put him over if I’m not mistaken but it didn’t happen
It's like Vince said. At that time you had to get the ok from the star to put you over. Jim agreed. It's possible no one else did. Wrestling is about selling tickets and I think at the time they got paid based on pay per view buy ratings. If a guy thought you couldn't sell, he would refuse to work with you or put you over. It's just how it was at the time.
When Jake was still on crack, he told what was probably the more likely tale: that Warrior said "I dont GAF about your 'problems.'". AND thats the one thing Warrior was right too. He didnt screw up Jakes career. Jake did. Im glad hes clean now, but he cant blame Warrior for it.
@@jvinson ..no one said he blamed jake. I was pointing out that hes not the reason jakes career was ruined. Honestly, I shudder to think what kind of family youre from where THATS the first thing you think. Your thought process (or lack thereof) is simple at best and trashy at worst, and I really dont know if you should be reading or commenting on threads until you've grown up a little more. Good luck. (and stop replying,)
Jake was one of my favourite wrestlers watching him back in the WWF era. Why this man never held a title is beyond belief and such a waste. He would have been a great I C Champion.
He would have had the ICC a few times if he wasn’t such a crack head and alcoholic. He missed shows quite a bit and put other wrestlers in the same exact spot that he is crying about here. Truth
@@HighFalutinTootin Exactly right. Jake never NEEDED a belt. He was already over on the basis of his dark gimmick, his uniquely unsettling promos, and the ever-present snake in the bag. A lot of people always think that "the belt" is what's needed to make a wrestler. Not always the case. (The belt didn't do much for Warrior with his 9-month failed run in 1990.) Rowdy Roddy Piper is another instance of a wrestler who was totally "over" with the crowd -- whether heel or babyface -- that he never needed a belt to enhance his status. He didn't need it at all. And Jake "The Snake" Roberts was that kind of wrestler, too. Never ever needed a title to signify that he was important.
Knowing the climate at the time and being a hardcore fan, even at 16 then. It never seemed like they would have put a title on Jake, especially not the World title. Jake didn't really need it anyway.
Whatever Mr Aurelian was going thru, whatever addiction, whatever turmoil in his personal life, he should have had a WWF championship run. He paid his dues and he busted his ass for that company and there is no one that will deny that fact.
Please...he always no-showed, was always in trouble with the law, and was suspended for failing cocaine tests. Yeah, that's a great guy to make champion. 😂
@@jokerswank6082 not really,one of jim hellwig's known attributes from many sources,people who liked and hated him alike was a massive self-righteous complex
Jake was a 30 something yearold man at the time, it's time to stop crying about your dad and move on with you life. Jake never did himself any favors in life. Crap body for the time, ok wrestling ability, cut the best promos in the business during 80s and early 90s. Warrior had the best look of anyone, very over with fans, shit wrestler, and had a ego on par with Hogans. Overall, I'm putting Warrior over Jake.
To those bringing up Roberts vices as justification for Hellwigs antics during this.. even with Jakes demons he was still 10x the performer and entertainer that Hellwig was. If this is true then it is a damn shame that Hellwigs idiocy got in the way Jake getting one good run at the top. Ultimate Warrior has inspired absolutely nobody in todays business.. but you see Jake and his influence all over wrestling.
Warrior was Over whether you like it or not. Let it rest already. He's not here to defend himself and he made peace with Jake Roberts before he passed.
‘Ultimate Warrior has inspired absolutely nobody in today’s business’ I actually think Bryan Danielson was a fan and that’s the reason he chose to become a wrestler. I’m sure others inspired him but Warrior was one of them
@@joshuaa1605 Because Vince loved Warriors body. He wanted the next Hulk Hogan, but Warrior did not have anywhere near Hogans talent or charisma to have sustained popularity. There is a reason Hellwig was not getting Hogan money despite thinking he was worth it. Roberts on the other hand was the most diabolical villain of his era.
This is from the Horrible mockumentry Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior, they tried to bury him in that documentary, not only did it not work, but WWE buried this and replaced it with Ultimate Warrior: Always Believe, told the whole story including his induction into the WWE hall of fame.
God saved Jake that night. At the time, jack was known to miss shows, he was using drugs non stop. Now imagine jake got the top pay, he would of blown it on drugs and alcohol, possibly die from it. So God saved Jake that night for sure.
Say what you want about warrior but there have been very few men who had the same intensity as him and that was one of the main reasons he got so popular.
Love Jake & I loved Warrior. But lets be honest here. If Warrior would not have gotten fired, & Jake would have had that run and made all that money he would have blown every cent of it on drugs. Warrior most likely did him a unintentional favor, maybe even saved his life.
Jake the snake believes his own lies. There was never a chance of him beating the ultimate worrior for the title. Worrior had already lost the title by the time he got fired to slaughter
Unless Vince was planning on putting the belt back on Warrior, or using their feud to turn Jake into a bigger heel (which was starting to occur) and try again with Hogan. Not sure I believe this... but I do believe the old adage there are 3 sides to every story... Your side, their side, and the truth.
His brief feud with Warrior did not start until Summer of 1991, seven months after the Warrior lost the WWF champion. So the title was never in the picture.
To everyone saying Warrior had already dropped the belt at the Rumble in January to Slaughter, that STILL DOES NOT MAKE JAKE's STORY FALSE... Warrior could've been slated to win the belt back AND THEN go on that run.
Riiiight Warrior was gonna win the belt vs Hogan after he won it in April… Why even make warrior drop the belt then? Vince wanted to capitalize off the gulf war. Nobody was going to have that belt but Hogan until that war was over.
Only in the wrestling business could a story of a promoter promising to pay a talent... and firing him instead... be spun to make the TALENT seem like the asshole. This industry can't die fast enough.
Warrior wasn't champion at SummerSlam 91, and warrior was not in the championship plans so whatever Jake is talking about is BS. Were they going to work together Yes, was it going to be for the title, no.
If no flair to wwf in 91 replaces Ric. Helps taker at SSz 91 v hulk. Jake wins rumble 92 aka vacant world title. Loses belt to macho at wm 8. Quits wwf.
Um. Warrior had already dropped the belt that January. Hogan was the champ, not Warrior. Plus Warrior wasn’t fired, he was suspended without pay. He tried to resign but Vince refused it.
I'm tired of Jake blaming other people. He even blamed the fans for booing hogan and costing him a run for the belt. Dude get over yourself. He's got 100x wrestling stories and they all seem to be how he was screwed by someone and could been rich. He'll if he had made more money he would just put it up his nose or in his arm
The only thing that is incorrect about this is Warrior dropped the title back in January so it wasn't a Championship run per se Jake would get but would he and Warrior went on a long run main eventing all over the country? Absolutely. And I can see Warrior and Jake having that conversation.
All those....sad stories that we learn after many years....how many still are secret yet.If its real..im very sorry for the Jake,and a little mad about warrior.They are both legends
I think the wwe superstars today and in the past should thank hulk hogan without hulk there is no wwe and without hulk wwe would not have been globally recognised. These wwe and in the past are bitter about hulk hogan when they don't realise hulk made that company thrive and famous around the global without him it would have been a house school gym wrestling company
Most of them were jealous...Came up through the ranks in wrestling pretty quick...His popularity far exceeded a lot of wrestlers who had been doing it a lot longer...Rest in Peace Warrior.
FANTASY BOOKING IDEAS: what could have been....had Warrior not got fired because of his over-boiling pot of ego nuttiness, the angle with Roberts would have been immense! Jake was super-over as a babyface in 1991, but his character was quasi-heel without being so, or almost more 'neutral', so allowed for that transition into eventual heel, acceptable. It would have brought bums to seats for sure....it was the right call, and a great storyline, but the wrong time (only because of Warrior's firing) - with hindsight, granted............you could have had Hogan/Warrior vs Roberts/Taker at SummerSlam, although that might have been too soon, as Warrior/Taker feud was still in progress and the situation with Jake/Warrior vignettes happened when the actual main event had already been booked with Slaughter and co......maybe at Survivor Series in a main event tag match, or co-captains of opposing teams?! Then individual matches at a Saturday Night Main Event or Tuesday in Texas? Just to roll it out, like red carpet...so to speak! Builds to a big re-match between Hogan/Warrior at WM 8! That being said.....Warrior's firing lead to the Savage/Roberts angle, which eventually involved Flair for Wrestlemania 8. Oh man, so many sliding doors moments....I wonder if all this NOT happening would have made the Royal Rumble in '92, still the best ever Rumble in my view, any different..?! No title on the line in the actual match? What could have been, what could have been! (I'd still have vacated the title, it made the drama of that year's Rumble so important in the context of the canon and storytelling...). Would have been interesting to see how it played out, but.....alas, we'll never know
Jake is not as tough as people think. He's very mentally weak, which is why he turned to substance abuse off and on for several decades now. Evidently Jake wasn't use to people punking him, afterwards he went back to his room and started crying.
Jake vs Warrior would have been horrible in the ring.Warrior's best matches were against Rick Rude and Randy Savage because they were super workers who could carry Warrior with ease! Jake was no where near good enough to do that.
I find it pretty shady that Jake continues to trash Warrior after he told the story in many interviews about them burying the hatchet at the HOF. Warrior has talked about Jake dealing with his demons and being a well known liar in the past. Unfortunately we won't be able to hear his side of the story.
Warrior was just trying to be a business man, if he would of had the right people around him, he probably could have blossomed professionally, it just seems he wanted to do things on his own terms without negotiations.
From memory, after summerslam, hogan would lose the belt to the undertaker. I can't see how vince would have engineered the title to make its way to the warrior again (there's no way hogan would have lost twice). Maybe undertaker vs warrior then leading to jake?
This is taken out of context. Jake said that he, himself was a heavy substance abuser. Had a lot of issues. I wouldn't wanna work with Jake either. Even if it was at HEB. I'm glad he's doing better now though.
Warrior wasn’t champion at Summerslam 91 hogan was. Warrior dropped the belt to slaughter that year at the royal rumble which hogan then won at wrestle mania 7. Sorry Jake but your either mistaken or just talking crap
Ive heard all the stories and UW was definitely a huge dickbag but at the same time Jake was a well known addict at this point. UW couldve done it better but it wasnt exactly out of the blue.
That doesn't make him a professional. It makes him a mark. Or it makes him hungry. Or desperate. But nothing about simply 'showing up' makes one a professional.
While Warrior was a bit unhinged, it was nothing compared to Jake’s substance abuse issues through the years. There was no way Vince was putting the belt on Jake if he wasn’t reliable. Jake was his own worst enemy.
Why does ultimate warrior thinks to even compare to hulk hogan. Ultimate warrior should be lucky that he was in wwe because without hulk hogan there is no wwe even when hulk left in 92 the company was in shambles they didn't know who the belt was going to go to after hulk left
Um…Hogan was champ at SummerSlam ‘91, not Warrior. How was Jake going to have a championship run with Warrior after that SummerSlam? Plus, Jake started his feud with Savage then. Guessing the drugs and alcohol through the years have messed with Jake’s timeline of events. 🤷♂️
jake gotta give him mad credit esp ddp for helping him get his life togethr warrior like hogan was a primadonna he thought he had it all he only knew 4 moves as jake was already a seasoned professional even taker didn't like him thats saying alot if mark don't like you..
So is Jake suppose to beat Hogan? Cause Warrior dropped the title months before his program with Jake. If you guys wanna point fingers it all goes to Hogan. Cause Vince want to do Hogan and Slaughter. Why was Warrior to blame?
Jake was an unreliable mess at the time due to his drug use and he was on his way out himself, so honestly I don't blame Warrior if indeed (IF) it happened that way.
This is so full of errors I barely know where to begin. 1. Jake is delusional. His timelines were all off as Warrior wasn't actually champion at that stage. 2. No. Warrior didn't make demands to be treated equal to Hulk before Summerslam 1991. The agreement to be treated and paid equal to Hulk had been in place since Wrestlemania 6, when it was agrees that Warrior as champion should not be earning less than anyone who was not champion, including Hulk. It was explicitly agreed that from that point on, Warrior would be paid the same as Hulk. And he was. Right until Wreatlemania 7, when McMahon stiffed Warrior on his pay. And when did the wrestlers receive their payoff for Mania 7? That's right - immediately before Summerslam 1991. 3. So in case you haven't figured it out yet, Warrior was NOT holding ANYONE up for 'more' money. He was demanding what had been agreed and in place for over a year, that McMahon stiffed him on without discussion or agreement. He was demanding what he was OWED for work already done. These are the facts, whether anyone reading this comment chooses to believe them or not. The two in this video are nothing more than bitter individuals twisting the truth for their own selfish purposes.
Warrior telling Jake that he better not miss a single show is the most hypocritical shit ever 😂😂😂
Warrior's ego was way over his head.
If warrior stayed roberts still wastes ALL his $ away on drugs aka booze

I like Jake, but Warrior wasn’t champion at summer slam. There did seem to be a program building between them, but it never materialised.
Why didn’t Jake grow a pair and just punch warrior out there and then after Vince had fired him, instead of harbouring anger for years?
Jake is not as tough as people think. He's very mentally weak, which is why he turned to substance abuse off and on for several decades now. Evidently Jake wasn't use to people punking him, afterwards he went back to his room and started crying.
This story changes every year.
Let’s respect the deceased please
Jake vs Warrior would have been horrible in the ring.Warrior's best matches were against Rick Rude and Randy Savage because they were super workers who could carry Warrior with ease! Jake was no where near good enough to do that.
I find it pretty shady that Jake continues to trash Warrior after he told the story in many interviews about them burying the hatchet at the HOF. Warrior has talked about Jake dealing with his demons and being a well known liar in the past. Unfortunately we won't be able to hear his side of the story.
Warrior was just trying to be a business man, if he would of had the right people around him, he probably could have blossomed professionally, it just seems he wanted to do things on his own terms without negotiations.
He had a closeline & a splash, he also had comic book looks which the fans loved but he had no moves. Him & Hogan were both 1 trick ponies.
@@richardmorris6365 When you're 6'2 and 280lbs or bigger, what more do you really need to do?
@@richardmorris6365 actually Hogan could do more. See his NJPW matches
He should've been more willing to learn imho
@@richardmorris6365 Hogan had a lot more in his bag of tricks than Warrior!
Vince would never have put the title on Jake, don’t fall for his BS 😂
Apparently, you know more than the people who were there
From memory, after summerslam, hogan would lose the belt to the undertaker. I can't see how vince would have engineered the title to make its way to the warrior again (there's no way hogan would have lost twice). Maybe undertaker vs warrior then leading to jake?
However we ended up with the Jake Vs macho feud. Which I much preferred 👌🏻
This is taken out of context. Jake said that he, himself was a heavy substance abuser. Had a lot of issues. I wouldn't wanna work with Jake either. Even if it was at HEB.
I'm glad he's doing better now though.
EPIC
Why would he blatantly lie about this like the internet doesn’t exist?
Warrior was not even the champion back then when this happened.
Warrior wasn’t champion at Summerslam 91 hogan was. Warrior dropped the belt to slaughter that year at the royal rumble which hogan then won at wrestle mania 7. Sorry Jake but your either mistaken or just talking crap
Wrestlers r friggin carnys lol especially ol jim helwig
Warrior was so bitter cause he's been screwed over so many times
Huh
that's my reason as well
Ive heard all the stories and UW was definitely a huge dickbag but at the same time Jake was a well known addict at this point. UW couldve done it better but it wasnt exactly out of the blue.
Cm punk is the current day Ultimate Warrior but TK don't have the balls to fire him.
Jake was the most professional of all of them. He turned up and did his job no matter what he was going through.
That doesn't make him a professional. It makes him a mark. Or it makes him hungry. Or desperate. But nothing about simply 'showing up' makes one a professional.
How do you mess up the subtitles so many times in such a short video? All these no effort channels and their awful shorts are insane
I don't believe a word Jake Roberts says 😂
That part
While Warrior was a bit unhinged, it was nothing compared to Jake’s substance abuse issues through the years. There was no way Vince was putting the belt on Jake if he wasn’t reliable. Jake was his own worst enemy.
He did it a few times with Shawn Micheals who was just as messed up.
Why does ultimate warrior thinks to even compare to hulk hogan. Ultimate warrior should be lucky that he was in wwe because without hulk hogan there is no wwe even when hulk left in 92 the company was in shambles they didn't know who the belt was going to go to after hulk left
champioship run? doesnt make sense because warrior didnt even have the title
Warrior arse
Bad human
What show/documentary is this from?!?! Can't be wwe's
Warrior wasn't the champ at summerslam, he lost it 5 months earlier. So how could Jake have had a title run with warrior after summerslam?
Um…Hogan was champ at SummerSlam ‘91, not Warrior. How was Jake going to have a championship run with Warrior after that SummerSlam?
Plus, Jake started his feud with Savage then.
Guessing the drugs and alcohol through the years have messed with Jake’s timeline of events. 🤷♂️
Warrior didn’t even have the title at summerslam 91 😂😂😂😂 Jake was smoking crack again before this video!
Jake wouldn't be here if he had a run against Hulk or Warrior. Sorry, Jake, but you know it is true.
Jake was terrific and Warrior was pretty much always an egotistical head case.
Hey Snake man JUST PAY JERRY GREY
jake gotta give him mad credit esp ddp for helping him get his life togethr warrior like hogan was a primadonna he thought he had it all he only knew 4 moves as jake was already a seasoned professional even taker didn't like him thats saying alot if mark don't like you..
Oh yeah, after 60 years of being a worthless piece of shit.
So is Jake suppose to beat Hogan? Cause Warrior dropped the title months before his program with Jake. If you guys wanna point fingers it all goes to Hogan. Cause Vince want to do Hogan and Slaughter. Why was Warrior to blame?
Get a clue...Roberts is obviously lying.
No way he was gonna put jake over. He was not muscular at all.
What did jake have …
A python, a D.D.T?!?!?
Rick Rude deserved that more then snake.
What episode of Dark Side of The Ring was this, Jale or Warrior?
Since Jake never had one, obviously the answer is Warrior. 😂
Jake was an unreliable mess at the time due to his drug use and he was on his way out himself, so honestly I don't blame Warrior if indeed (IF) it happened that way.
I'm just wondering who did they dig up to play Warrior? he looks just like him
They actually dug him up. He was a little stiff but he was back then, too
Renegade 😉

@@c.l.freeman7654 DAMNNN. 😯
The warrior say he was the only one that played him .That mean he the only one .No
One else can.And there only one warrior.
Jake the snake better get peacock and watch the network
There was no championship involved in his fued with Warrior
People who keep attacking Jim Helwig need to get a life
This is so full of errors I barely know where to begin.
1. Jake is delusional. His timelines were all off as Warrior wasn't actually champion at that stage.
2. No. Warrior didn't make demands to be treated equal to Hulk before Summerslam 1991. The agreement to be treated and paid equal to Hulk had been in place since Wrestlemania 6, when it was agrees that Warrior as champion should not be earning less than anyone who was not champion, including Hulk. It was explicitly agreed that from that point on, Warrior would be paid the same as Hulk. And he was. Right until Wreatlemania 7, when McMahon stiffed Warrior on his pay. And when did the wrestlers receive their payoff for Mania 7? That's right - immediately before Summerslam 1991.
3. So in case you haven't figured it out yet, Warrior was NOT holding ANYONE up for 'more' money. He was demanding what had been agreed and in place for over a year, that McMahon stiffed him on without discussion or agreement. He was demanding what he was OWED for work already done.
These are the facts, whether anyone reading this comment chooses to believe them or not. The two in this video are nothing more than bitter individuals twisting the truth for their own selfish purposes.
Damn even though Ultimate Warrior is a popular but in reality he wasn’t a nice person
WARRIOR WASNT THE CHAMP
They were never going to put the belt on Jake
I like Jake amd he was great in his prime but i dont believe for a minute he was ever scheduled to take the belt off Warrior
