On the latest episode of The Snake Pit with Jake Roberts, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about Dick Murdoch intentionally having a bad match and more. You can check out some highlights below:

On Dick Murdoch: “He was a redneck, that he was. Heavy drinker, a heavy drinker. But he could work when he wanted to. If he wanted to go out there and give you a match, he could give you one of the best you’d ever have. But if he wasn’t in the mood, forget about it. It was going to be horses**t.”

On Murdoch intentionally having a bad match: “No idea, man. Evidently he didn’t turn the switch on that day. But I’ve seen him do it many times. It’s like, you’ll get one out of ten that will be just f**king horrible.”
