Jake Roberts, WWE Hall of Famer, recently shared his thoughts on various topics during an episode of his Snake Pit podcast. One of the main highlights of the discussion was his take on Triple H and their time together during Survivor Series 1996.
Reflecting on Triple H’s character in 1996, Roberts stated, “It was an iffy gimmick. But I saw him grow in so many different ways. His psychology was getting there, and I enjoyed working with him and teaching him. He had that taste, man.”
Roberts also commented on the concept of a buried alive match, describing it simply as “Good TV. That’s all. Good TV.”
Another wrestler that Roberts mentioned was Chris Candido. Although he acknowledged Candido’s smaller stature, Roberts believed that if Candido were around today, he would be tearing it up in the wrestling industry.
These insights from Jake Roberts provide a glimpse into the evolution of Triple H’s character and the impact of unique match concepts like the buried alive match. Additionally, his recognition of Chris Candido’s potential sheds light on the talent and skill that might have been further developed if Candido had continued his wrestling career.
