Wrestling Bios Presents - The Story of Jake "The Snake" Roberts in WCW

Jake "The Snake" Roberts was one of the WWE's most recognizable superstars during the late 80s and early 90s. While he didn't capture any gold during his WWF tenure, Jake was still a big star in the World Wrestling Federation while the company beneifited from a wrestling boom period. Jake's feuds with Rick Rude, Andre The Giant, Ted Dibiase and Macho Man Randy Savage were the stuff of legend.

Jake Roberts has been credited as having one of the greatest minds in wrestling. He was creative, he could tell stories, and his mic work was phenomenal. Jake wanted to become a writer within the WWF, and when a spot on the creative team became available, he approached WWF owner Vince McMahon to see if he could get the job. When Vince refused, Jake decided to hold up the company for his release, and he worked his final WWF match (of this era) at WrestleMania 8. Jake would find his way to WCW where he immediately began feuding with Sting. Everyone remembers "Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal" at Halloween Havoc 1992, but what else happened during this time period? Why did Jake suddenly get up and leave WCW also?
