'''Jake 'The Snake' Roberts''' is a second-generation professional wrestler best known for his years with the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] in the late eighties and early nineties when he feuded with their top fleer talent, including [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]], [[Andre the Giant]], [[Randy Savage]], [[The Undertaker]], and Sid Justice. He was notable for his mic work, cutting dark, cerebral promos, for bringing his live, pet snakes into the ring, and for innovating the 'DDT' maneuver. Unfortunately, years of family troubles and drug abuse (and his resulting in-ring behavior) have made him notorious, and he has had trouble maintaining employment with any of the large companies, though he has worked continually on the road as an independent since his WWE days.
 
It was during a feud with [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] that Roberts mentioned the biblical passage John 3:16, prompting Austin's career-defining response: "Well, Austin 3:16 says 'I just whupped your ass!' ".
