Let me start this one off by saying, I am well aware that the 61-year-old Hall of Famer is not at all capable of handling a full, 10-15 minute match. Where I am coming from with this selection, is a place of celebration and victory.
Please remember that just a couple of years ago, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts was living a drug-addicted, alcohol-fueled life of self-destruction.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Jake was essentially black-balled from all things WWE. But, when Diamond Dallas Page reached his hand down to offer his help, Jake humbly accepted and eventually turned his entire life around. The entire story is an emotional tale of ultimate redemption.

Since his recovery, Jake has mentioned on multiple occasions that he wants to compete one more time for the WWE.
Originally, he only wanted to be a surprise entrant in a Royal Rumble match. However, if the company were to somehow find a way to get Jake in the ring at WrestleMania 33 and just plant someone, anyone, with one more DDT, this fairytale would see it’s perfect ending.
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
