Jake Roberts' Cobra Bites Randy Savage. On March 24, 1991, "The Macho King" Randy Savage took on Ultimate Warrior in a Retirement Match at Wrestlemania 7. Savage would end up losing the match but be reunited with his former valet and love, Miss Elizabeth. Savage would end up doing commentary for WWE and a few months later, proposed to Ms. Elizabeth on live television. Elizabeth gave an emotional "Ohhhh, Yeah!" At Summerslam 1991, the two were to be married but while the reception was taking place, they were presented with a present from Jake "The Snake" Roberts: a king cobra snake. A few weeks after his gift, Roberts attacked Savage in the middle of the ring and tied his arms in the ropes. With Savage subdued, Roberts opened his infamous bag and out came the same king cobra. Roberts held back WWE security with the snake and then proceeded to irritate the snake by slapping it, causing it to bite Macho Man's bicep! It was at this point things went horribly wrong. Of course, everything before this moment was suppose to happen, including the bite. What wasn't suppose to happen was the snake biting and chewing and Macho Man's muscle tissue as Roberts tried desperately to pull the snake off. With Robert's pulling at the snake, its teeth dug deeper and deeper into the Macho Man before it finally let go. Luckily (and obviously) the cobra had been defanged so Savage suffered no snake-bite poisoning or major damage to his arm. Due to the gore and violent reality of the angle, it is one of the most original, well-known, and disturbing wrestling angles in the history of the business. |
