On the latest episode of The Snake Pit with Jake Roberts, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked if he ever took a bump so bad that he didn’t want to get up. He recounted a particularly stiff clothesline from Sid Vicious. You can check out some highlights below:
On the moment: “Oh, god, yeah, hundreds of times. Sid Vicious, he clotheslined me and he tore my fucking head off. Yeah, it nearly tore my head off, man. And we had a little talk afterwards.”
On having a confrontation with him and Sid’s reaction: “He told me maybe it’s time for me to retire. Wouldn’t you know it? I had to wrestle him the next night, and he clotheslined me again, but this time something happened. It snapped his bicep. Something happened. Thank God there wasn’t nobody filming that.”
