Jake Roberts Recalls The Night His Snake Stole The Show At A Strip Club

WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts shared a bizarre and amusing tale about an unexpected incident involving his infamous python, Damien, during a visit to a strip club.

Speaking at a Q&A session at the For the Love of Wrestling convention, Jake Roberts recalled how he once brought his reptilian companion into what was described as a “gentleman’s club.” However, the wrestling legend was quick to dismiss that description, saying,

“There were no gentlemen in there.”

During the visit, one of the dancers took a keen interest in Damien and asked if she could incorporate the snake into her routine. Roberts, well aware of his python’s unpredictable nature, attempted to warn her.

“I told her, I said, ‘He’s not happy, he’s a little frisky right now.’ She told me, ‘I’m not afraid of that.'”

Despite his caution, the dancer remained undeterred and insisted on using Damien in her act. Roberts eventually relented, setting the stage for a hilariously chaotic moment.

“So I gave him to her, and she’s dancing with it, and she’s going around the pole,”

he recalled. However, the situation quickly spiralled out of control.

“Then the snake leaned back and launched, and he connected with her breast. Now she’s screaming, going around the pole, running in place, and I was laughing my ass off.”

The surreal moment left Roberts in stitches, though it likely wasn’t as amusing for the unfortunate dancer.

Jake Roberts spoke about why he thought that his feud with Andre the Giant wouldn’t work and said that he thought that due to Andre’s immense size, fans wouldn’t believe that Roberts could pose a threat to him. However, Roberts recalled how Andre acted as if he was terrified of Roberts’ snake during their feud and that was a crucial part in what made the program between the two work.
