5 WWE legends that should have appeared on the RAW 25th Anniversary show

#4 Jake 'The Snake' Roberts

Ent — Jake was one of the most intriguing stars of all-time.

For years, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts was one of the most feared villains of all-time. Jake had the unique ability to make entire audiences of tens-of-thousands of fans to remain completely silent and hang on tightly to every single word he spoke. Jake was the master philosopher and he used his mind to overcome his opponents.

Unfortunately, Jake had a slew of silent demons in his life. His demons included drugs, alcohol and severe addiction. In fact, Jake's demons nearly took his life, more than once. Thankfully he came across an old friend in Diamond Dallas Page. Today, Jake is clean, sober and living life as a WWE Hall of Famer. He has also made it clear that he still loves to be involved as much as possible. Jake would have been a huge hit at the 25th Anniversary, just as he was at the Old School RAW back in 2014.
