WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts shared a humorous memory of his time wrestling alongside the legendary Andre the Giant.
Speaking on his podcast, The Snake Pit, Roberts recalled some of the playful antics Andre would pull on him during their matches, showing a lighter, mischievous side of the larger-than-life wrestling icon. Roberts described how Andre, known for his immense size and strength, would sometimes prank him with some rather unpleasant ribbing techniques.
Oh yeah, he’d sit on me and fart on me and things like that. You know, it’s just amazing how long a giant can fart. He dropped 30-second bombs on my ass.
Andre’s playful pranks are part of wrestling lore, and Roberts’ recollections offer fans a glimpse into the camaraderie and humour that existed behind the scenes, even in the intense world of professional wrestling. Andre’s jokes often had a physical element that only someone of his size could pull off, and Roberts seemed to take it all in stride, appreciating the camaraderie that came with it.
