Jake Roberts Recalls How Andre The Giant Used To Rib Him During WWE Matches

WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts shared a light-hearted story about his time in the ring with wrestling icon Andre the Giant, offering fans a glimpse of the camaraderie and humour that existed behind the scenes in the wrestling world.

Speaking on his podcast, The Snake Pit, Jake Roberts recounted how Andre would often show a playful, mischievous side during their matches. Recalling some of Andre’s signature pranks, Roberts described how the larger-than-life star would sometimes use his immense size to pull off unique practical jokes that were both humorous and, at times, a bit unpleasant. One of Andre’s go-to tricks was to playfully “rib” Roberts in a way only a giant could.

Oh yeah, he’d sit on me and fart on me and things like that.

Roberts shared with a chuckle.

You know, it’s just amazing how long a giant can fart. He dropped 30-second bombs on my ass.

The memory highlights a different side of Andre, whose towering size and powerful presence often overshadowed his sense of humour. Despite the intensity and physicality of the wrestling world, moments like these show that there was a deep sense of camaraderie among wrestlers. Andre’s playful antics, as described by Roberts, bring to life the lighter side of wrestling and the strong bonds formed between the performers.
