'''Jake 'The Snake' Roberts''' is a second-generation professional wrestler best known for his years with the [[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.

* [[Unrelated Brothers]]: Jake's brother was wrestler Sam Houston, and their sister was Women's Champion Rockin' Robin, though neither relationship was ever acknowledged.

* [[Wedding Smashers]]: Jake's notorious attempted steel chair attack on Ms. Elizabeth occurred at the reception of her wedding to [[Randy Savage]].

* [[Wild Card]]: A [[Chaotic Evil]] version who could still be good for as long as he needed to.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Slapped [[Randy Savage|Macho Man's]] valet, Elizabeth, hard across the face, and later tried to attack her with a steel chair.
