against best horrible people playing politics ruin sad snake time tried
It's the sad thing about entertainment: it's not always about who is the best. Jake The Snake had a horrible time playing politics. I never had a belt; didn't need one. They tried to put me against Hogan twice, but when the people chanted for me, when they chanted for the DDT, that was the end of that. They couldn't ruin their marketing.
front people whether
I still enjoy performing, whether it's in front of two people or 2,000 people, but it's not fun once you leave the big show.
good-day screw-ups start-the-day
Miserable is a good thing, though. If you start the day miserable, nobody else can screw up your day.
mistake kids men
Jake Roberts has a hard enough time being Jake Roberts. The truth is a brutal thing, I just hope that the kids take the time to learn about each of the wrestlers in the game, and if the kids can learn from our mistakes, that would make me a happy man.
children father love-you
A child's hope is that your father comes riding in on that white stallion and saves them. You can't make somebody love you the way you want them to love you, it's not a Leave it to Beaver type world. This isn't television. Life's a lot more cruel than that.
greed victim wallowing
A victim of your own greed..wallowing in the muck of avarice.
screw-ups embarrassing rings
You know what, when you screw up in the ring, it's so embarrassing.
dream father school
I went to visit my father to tell him that I was going to go to college and become an architect - that was my dream. I was like, yeah I graduated from school, but it's not like you showed up for that. But all he was worried about is whether or not I wanted money from him.
entertainment sad-things
It's the sad thing about entertainment, it's not always about who is the best.
snakes bites
The snake will always bite back.
spiritual experience moments
Every moment is an experience.
men speak enough
If a man has enough power, he can speak softly and everyone will listen
great guy guys masked named opportunity pleasure ring tremendous
There is this great, great wrestler, who never really got an opportunity to be a star, named Len Denton: he was a masked guy called The Grappler. He was one of my favorite guys to ever wrestle, and it was just a tremendous pleasure to step in the ring with him.
I did it the stupid way, through trial and error.
