8) Jake The Snake Roberts
Jake the Snake Roberts never had to raise his voice to get his point across. His eerily calm and calculated tone was all he needed to sell himself as a dastardly heel.
Roberts’ first major feud in the WWE was with Ricky Steamboat in 1986, when Roberts delivered a DDT to the Dragon on the concrete floor right in front of his wife. He then rested his snake on the helpless Steamboat.
The feud went on to last the rest of the year and both men have stated it is among their favorite feuds. Roberts eventually turned face due to increasing support from fans.
He wouldn’t turn heel again until 1991, where he joined forces with The Undertaker against the Ultimate Warrior. He betrayed Warrior and capped it off by saying, “never trust a snake.” Roberts would feud with Randy Savage, who had reunited with Miss Elizabeth, ruining their wedding celebration by putting a snake in their gift box.
As Roberts continually tried to terrorize Elizabeth, Undertaker eventually broke off from Roberts, setting up a feud between the two for WrestleMania. This helped Undertaker get over as a babyface in a huge way and Roberts further cemented himself as an effective heel.
