I want to say thank you for all the amazing memories. My favorite entrance is the Undertaker vs. Underfaker when you came out with the purple light. Simply amazing. God bless:
PLEASE DO A JAKE THE SNAKE EPISODE.
Other guys mic is too loud or he's sits too close
That original deadman from 90 till 93 will forever be my favorite version of taker.
👍
His run from 1990 to 95 doesn't get enough credit due to that being a down period and some of his opponents. That match with Yokozuna at Royal Rumble 1994, had no right being as good as it was given the style of the match.
Looking at it now, it feels like 90-93 taker is supposed to be human and then he “dies” at rumble 94 and come back at summerslam 94 as “the deadman”.
FINALLY GIVING BRET HIS PROPER ACCOLADES🍻
I call that Taker the "Exorcist Undertaker".
Undertaker became a "good guy" by stopping Jake from hitting Elizabeth with a steel chair, and then, on the Funeral Parlor, Jake straight up asked him, "Whose side are you on?" Undertaker said, "Not yours!" He was cheered from then on.
Yeah Taker actually did quite a big attack during the wedding after-party. (An upcoming episode of Rivals featuring Roberts vs Savage is coming soon - I’m sure it’ll be covered lol)
Please....he was being cheered well before that.
That blew my mind as a kid
@@Rjensen2Not as much. After that, his popularity took off.
He was already being cheered
Jake was 6ft 5 and around 250, he was a lot bigger than people think.
Yep, I am 6'3, and when I met Jake in person, he posed for a photo with me and he's taller.
He used to have at least 3 inch lifts in his boots that's why he used to look the same height as taker
A lot of these dudes are gargantuan…. They look average on video… but dang, like SCSA is 6’2…. He looks short on TV
He was on the gas for a bit. That might have been the only time he was 250. Vince told him to stop working out.
Yeah tall and gut width lol
Jake was honestly lightyears ahead of his era. He didn't have angles and matches, he told stories. And his character was so brilliant; balancing out the creepy dark-side with a normal realistic person. Jake The Snake wasn't a make believe monster from a fantasy story. He's that weird uncle or neighbor who doesn't seem quite right and who's house you'd be nervous to go to on Halloween.
And it turns out, in real life, Jake Roberts wasn't quite right!
@JeremiahEcks777 and for good reason sadly. Good to see him doing well finely here later in life
I always said Jake was your mom's biker brother with a snake pet that the rest of the family hated but you grew up thinking was the coolest guy ever.
@@darinfry1543 True. Grizzly Smith was a piece of work.
He's only remembered for being 'Jake's Dad' whereas Jake is remembered for being one of the legit greats. He's a guy that the other greats say is great. Like Taker.
What modern fans call storylines the old timers call angles.
And Jake most definitely had matches. But the storytelling aspect was done in the ring back then. The promos were short, sweet, and to the point. Their whole purpose to build the angle around the program (the guy he was working with) so you’d go to the house shows. That’s where they made their money and why they worked 300+ days a year. Unless you were Hulk Hogan and then you worked 600 days a year because you were flying back to Japan everyday and crossing the international date line 😂
But I agree. Jake was a master craftsman who elevated everyone he worked with. He even made the job guys look good!
“By the time I got to the ring, My match was half over!”
That line killed me 😂😂
Jake must be one of the only guys to have great face and heel music.
“trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me…”
Hogan as well
I loved Jake’s heel theme because you can still hear bits of his original babyface theme, just reworked
Do ya trust me? Do ya trust me?
Never trust a snake 🐍
Taker too. the funeral theme from 91-94 and the ministry theme from 99.
I can listen to Taker tell stories for hours
Same
I heard he got to be in character for the longest time.. which prevented them from talking much 😮
Pretty crazy that Taker wrestled every one Bruiser Brody, Jake Roberts, Stone Cold, Cena, to Roman Reigns. Several different eras. He's walking wrestling history.
Except for Sting
He looks well too, not some burnt out crippled man who aged badly, he looks solid still!
@@nickbeam1910 he actually did wrestle Sting in WCW, before he was the Undertaker.
Just a few more to add that I could remember Papa shago, Big daddy, cool diesel, jimmy snooka Razor Ramon, the bogeyman doink repoman and I think and crush
@@jimnfl7134that don't count lol
We are so lucky to live in a time where the Undertaker has a podcast.
So I heard he's is doing this because for 30 years he had to and chose to be in character wherever and whenever
Taker just gives off Your favourite Uncle who everybody just wants to be and could listen to his stories all day long.
To bad Paul Bearer isn't alive. He would have a podcast very interesting guy.
Taker: Jake could work with anyone.
Hogan: That doesn't work for me brother.
Lol Hogan vs Jake
Fans: Wow Jake's so cool.
Vince & Hogan: Yer no this isn't gonna work Jake/Brother.
Creative: “Hey Hulk what about Jake? He’s really popular with the fans, a lot of people would pay to see that”
Hulk:
@@redplanet667 Having crowds boo or be split on Hogan was not good for WWF long term. He had to be fighting and triumphing over evil. and History went fine. Hulkamania was still gold without a Jake match
Jake's a great wrestler fans love him
Hogan yeah I'll pass brother
That feud was so fing good. From Macho man to Jake then the Undertaker. It was an absolute masterpiece. 3 absolute legends.
You can type fucking you know
Jake was a face more than he was a heel in WWE. He was a heel in 1986, then 1987-mid 1991 he was a face, then finished his last 8 months in WWE as a heel.
And his 2nd heel run was so good.
Taker is quite humble to not include himself in his mount rushmore of wrestlers. He was extremely influential to many wrestlers today and important to the legacy of wrestlemania.
It’s like what Taker said about Paul Bearer when he was talking about his Mount Rushmore of wrestling managers. Undertaker IS the whole mountain. When you look at the eras of the WWE over the past three and a half decades and the top guys in that company, from Hogan/Savage, to Bret/HBK, to Austin/Rock, to Cena and eventually today with Roman Reigns, there’s been one constant and that’s The Undertaker. He’s in a category all by himself
I sort of feel like Taker doesn't go on most people's mount rushmores; not because he's not good enough but that he's the Undertaker, the phenom. I truly believe that in the history of wrestling and the minds of most wrestling fans he stands apart independently and has a whole mountain to himself.
@@brettpritchard265 he seriously fits all the criteria for people on his Mount Rushmore. I'm a fan (or at least loosely in the cases of Flair and Hogan) of all his picks, but Undertaker is just on another level. he checks all the boxes.
He is on flair's list so idk @@brettpritchard265
Most people don't include themselves or I've heard few do it
Wrestlemania 8 was my first wrestling show ever! Piper/Hart is still one of my favorite matches ever!
Definitely in my top five of all time. The story telling in that Piper and Bret match is just absolutely fantastic.
Piper vs Hart is one of the best Wrestlemania matches of all-time. I just wish we got Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan.
Same here! My favourite wrestlemania!
Passing of the torch to the newer era between Piper and Bret Hart
My fave WM (partly due to the amazing banter with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan) and Bret v Piper definitely is one of my fave all time matches
I lot of people wanted Jake the Snake to be the sinister higher power of the ministry instead of Vince.
Would have probably got the ministry hooked on meth and cocaine.
As well it should’ve been. The corporate ministry basically ruined the Ministry gimmick for many people including Taker himself (from an old interview I found).
I love Ministry Taker so much but going from destroying the entire corporation to joining forces with them makes zero sense. The group was designed to kill the corporation and anyone else in their way and that’s what it should’ve stayed as
@@q.h.s5051 I don't think Taker crucifying Stephanie, Austin, etc., gets talked about enough. DX and nWo get a lot of attention as factions but the Ministry is something that has always stuck with me. I also agree--the Ministry declined when it became the Corporate Ministry.
It's never crossed my mind for the Higher Power to be Jake, but that's a great idea. Jake, Taker, Papa Shango (Yes, the Godfather ruled but transforming him from the Godfather back to Shango would've been cool during that era) and Viscera, Mideon and the Brood as like Henchman would've been pretty cool too.
....um....no...that was never a thing...if by "a lot of people" you mean Z E R O people, then yes.."a lot of people" wanted jake in the ministry.
During that time period, Jake needed help from a higher power himself… don’t think he could’ve played one on tv while in that headspace
Jake promos style were outstanding he never raised his voice he spoke in a soft whisper, and it made you need to listen harder to hear what he said, and he never wasted a word either. Every word ment as much as the one before and the one after it it was soo simple but soo perfect to fit the snake character
Such a good feud. "Just whose side are you on?" "Not yours!" Loved how that answer was not a clear declaration of good or bad. Then Jake locking your hand in the coffin, hitting you with the chair as you stalked him dragging the coffin. The match itself, Heenan sold that match so well on commentary.
I would get called Jake the Snake by teachers when I was young. What a legend he was. I am glad I can look back and appreciate these matches after watching these podcasts.
I think almost every kid from the 90's has a homie nicknamed Jake the Snake. 😅
think we can say he was over with fans
To bad his drug addiction got in the way. That's why he would come and go so much.
No matter how many times I see Taker doing an interview or sitting down like this for his podcast, it never ceases to feel surreal.
This match was my first time seeing wrestling and The Undertaker and I've been a fan ever since!!
Taker vs Jake is a personal favorite Streak match of mine. The two had fantastic chemistry and I love that Taker was one of few to get up from not one but TWO DDT’s. Fantastic stuff there
True, he did get up, but still took him 20-30 secs to get up from both and Jake didn't go for the pin. Great way of still protecting the DDT.
While the match itself was not something I felt was anything special, the build was some of the best of a Taker Mania match. Was better than anything post-WM29 outside of WM36 with AJ Styles.
@@mrmoviemanic1 As Western Taker is my fourth favorite version of him I love the slow matches. He was the perfect end to the golden era of WWF with slow movements to sudden attacks. I get heat for it but it’s in my top ten streak matches
@@q.h.s5051 All good brother. I totally get it cause that style is far more about the story and character factor than it is about the moves and match as more than just a showcase of wrestling talent itself.
"I've never seen anybody get up from two DDTs!!!"
"Two? I've never seen anyone get up from ONE!"
Undertaker is totally right here. Jakes build added to the snake character. It was perfect!
Taker is spot on with his Mount Rushmore. Everybody has there own 5 for there on reasons. #1oftheGOATS
Rushmore is 4 people not 5
He's got the best Mount Rushmore I've heard anyone mention for sure.
Great love for Andre there - nice to hear
Everytime Jake Roberts cuts a promo, it makes wrestling seem real.
"ya know" has morphed into "ughhh" lol
Those two should've been tag team champions, they were great.
I was in the Hoosier Dome for WMVIII because Jake and Taker were my two favorite wrestlers
Jake actually was a Prototype of Undertaker. It didn't matter whether they were babyface or heel- people were fans of them anyways because of his character and gimmick. My very first actionfigure was Jake(still have it) not Hulk Hogan or Warrior even though I was a huge of them as well. Jake had Damian and Undertaker had Paul Bearer. Both gimmicks worked perfectly with each other.
Man what a cool guy…could listen to Mark talk wrestling all day
I have always been a fan of Mean Mark... When he became the Undertaker, I couldn't have been more excited to be a fan of Mark!!! What a Great person!!!!!
I remember that story line, gawd I’m old lol 😂
Jake's promos were legendary. Arguably the best ever committed to film.
i love you undertaker ❤️
One of the best streak matches
It was pretty much a squash. Tombstone on the floor was a cool finish though.
Him fighting a messed up Jake is one of your favorites?
I like this story between undertaker and Jake Roberts at wrestle mania 8. Great two wrestler all time❤
Man to hear the back story on this years later from The Undertaker himself is amazing. Its awesome how he praises Jake Roberts. Those guys had a good run and did some scary shit lol. Tried to kill Sid Justice, planting cobras in gift boxes, hitting grooms at his own wedding with funeral urns. Some of WWE's best material came from Jake and Taker. The angle with them and Warrior was crazy too. Amazing stuff. Will never forget it. Felt real.
I loved the finish of that match
Jake Roberts. One of the most underrated heels of all time.
Macho Man deserves to be mentioned with those names...100 years from now, he'll still be imitated and spoken about.
Jake's promo for this match was one of the best of his career. "The DDT is where it lies Big Man" great line from Jake.
That comment about bret is so true bret was one of wwe best technical wrestlers in 90s
Given what I know about Jake the Snake, I'm impressed he even made it to wrestling, let alone achieve what he achieved in terms his legendary status. His story is one of my favorite redemption stories.
Mark is such a good a good story teller I'm so glad he started this channel
These are awesome especially as im an old school fan.
Both of Jake the snake theme music were 🔥…. It went long with his demeanor and what the 80s drug era was like in the WWE. Shot out to all the wrestlers that survive the crack/cocaine era and rip for those who didn’t.
In my opinion Jake was the best ever at his promos the way he talked the way he would look in the camera the sinister laughed 😮😮😮😮
Taker and Jake would've been great as tag champs.
Jake always one of my favorites. Glad to hear good jake stories
11 year old me never would have thought I'd be sitting here thinking I'd like to have a beer with the Undertaker.
Jake is on my mount rushmore of promos. Him, Flair, Dusty and The Rock. Jake had such a cold look to him and a lot of that was likely due to real life issues he faced both as a child and adult. But he didnt have to go to any extreme to be evil. He just oozed it. His facial expressions, timing, tone, pace, and body language was always on point.
I said it once and I'll say it again, when you're too "evil" even for the undertaker to hang out with you anymore, that's saying something. That was the best heel work I've ever seen
Y'all should have Jake the Snake on the podcast to talk with the Undertaker
Love hearing stories from The Undertaker. I remember as a kid seeing and hearing fans at Survivor Series 1991 cheer for him when he won the title from Hogan. Interesting to see at that time.
As a kid in the 80's there was only one heel that I really liked and it was Jake Roberts. He reminded me of people that my older brothers knew. That were tough, and you knew could kick ass. But they never ran their mouth, they weren't hyper screamers and yellers. But you didn't want to cross one. The kind that you were scared of to a certain degree but you also respected.
Great stories and Taker is on my Rushmore as the top reason for wrestling heritages being what it is now. He made sure that wrestling is respected and professional at all times. Plus, he's the greatest keyfab character of all time. He represents what a hardwork represents. He earned everything he got. He made himself what he is today and no one can take away that from him. A legendary career that can be told to generations to come. Always thrive to better and never be content.
He also made Wrestlemania great. I don't know if there's a single wrestler who main evented Wrestlemania more than he did either.
Don’t you just love & adore Mark ‘you know’ Callaway.
Yall give Cena respect he contributed to the company for awhile he deserves to be up there
Mark thank you for the many decades of great memories, you and Glen have been a huge part of my life, I’ve been watching you since 1990 (when I was 5 years old) and even though I know that you and Glen aren’t really brothers, Undertaker and Kane are my favorite brother tag team of all time.
Jake Robert - Undertaker and Paul Bearer were scarring a lot of kids back then lolll Jake Robert promo's where gold! Undertaker gimmick is the best ever!.
Seeing the respect that he has for Jake the snake after all the stuff he did is amazing
DDP once said when Jake came out to the ring you didn't know who was going to win or lose.
Awesome! Interview
JESUS…. ARE YA SERIOUSLY SKIPPING OVER THE INCREDIBLE FUNERAL PARLOR SEGMENT THAT SOLIDIFIES THIS WHOLE THING/ FACE TURN….IT CHANGED MY LIFE LOL!!
Is that why you are yelling like a moron?
It’s the host man , he’s fn awful … he even finishes takers stories for him … f this guy !
I literally thought Taker was a dead zombie back then
@@patjev2740 lmfao meee tooo ✌️
Just to hear those micro cassettes. I could imagine stuff being recorded over, but I do hope that he compiled some of the best ideas onto another tape.
6:20 Undertaker’s Mount Rushmore: 1) Andre “the Giant”, 2) Hulk Hogan, 3) Ric Flair, 4) “Stonecold” Steve Austin. Couple this with Vince McMahon, Ric Flair, and DDP identifying Steve Austin as The Goat, and you have a strong case for Steve Austin being the GOAT!
The way jake talked in his promos I used to like how he used look 👀 straight at the camera 🎥 I loved that about him as a wrestler when I was a kid growing up back in the 80’s
I could listen to this guy all day
Jake was scary as hell. No one was scary as Jake. He was like a hitchchiker you see on the roads. Genuinely scary.
Hey Mark much love and respect from London UK😊
I was at that Wrestlemania. Great match. Caught your one Deadman Show this past November. Great show.
It would be amazing to get Jake Roberts on this podcast with Mark, given how influential Jake was to Undertaker in the early days of his WWE career.
Mark Thank You for the memories and i hope your enjoying your well deserved retirement .From a big fan in England
So maybe The Undertaker could do a tierlist on The Undertakers incarnations over the years. Thank you, Taker! 👏👏, 👏👏👏
Taker was always great in every persona they all had different things to get you but all were great thanks to Mark for 3 decades all the way back to Memphis and Master of Pain. I'm right outside of Memphis and would go on Saturday and Monday night shows. Mark has meant so much
Jake is on my mount rushmore regarding character, mic work, gimmick, and look
Man!... that Saturday morning snake bit traumatized me as a young'in! 😂❤
I remember the Undertaker's face turn. I was 14 and "smartened up" if you will, and even still, that euphoric adrenaline rush is unforgettable. The big dead man had a good streak in him!
Jake's attire in that match with the snake coiling around the naked woman is one of the best to this day.
I think he only ever wore those that one time too.
Undertaker please talk about legendary return And storyline with Kane when got buried
@@eddiestokes5383 think you missread
his not returing wy does everyone keep saying undertaker return four one match when his not his nearly 59 his body not able four it wy would he come out at retirement and one more match and lose that would ruin his legacy staying retired and doing his podcast
@@eddiestokes5383 reading is fun to mental
I remember Jake using lines from Ozzys songs in his promos. Always thought that was cool.
Pink Floyd too! So cool.
"Tell me I'm a sinner, I got news for you. I spoke to God this morning and he doesn't like YOU!"
@@danieldonnelly3589 And Rolling Stones.... "They say you can't get what you want.... but I've always been able to get what I need..."
@@danieldonnelly3589 "As cold as a razor blade, as tight as a tourniquet, like the skin on a dying man..."
As a 12 year old kid at Survivor Series 91, I and probably a hundred others were rocking some form of Taker style. It was amazing to be there.
Thank you Taker!!
You were always my favorite, Mark. since the first time I saw you entered the ring.
DDT is probably my all time favorite finisher
Undertaker
Taker's #1 fan
Jake made the undertaker look like a baby face, that’s how good Jake was
I agree everybody had their look that just fit them right on
I watched it when it happened. People liked Undertaker, and wanted a reason to cheer him. It is very exciting to see him save Miss Elizabeth.
1 Of My Favorite Matches
My two favorite wrestlers..Taker my first love..Jake my second..he got me into my love n passion for snakes. Love these two guys
Ultimate Warrior was my guy until the Dead Man came along. I was 10 years old when Taker stuffed the Warrior in that casket on the funeral parlor. Yooooo that had me in tears. lol However, there was something about that Undertaker character that was very intriguing. Even as a super bad guy I just had to watch him wrestle and see his creepy promos. Taker turned face on SNE 1992. They didn't air that back stage incident with Jake until next Saturday on Superstars. When I think of classic Undertaker moments from that era it has to be when Jake showed up at the funeral parlor and slammed Taker's hand in the casket. Taker slowly stalked Jake back to the locker room with his hand stuff in the casket. Sick!!!! I missed those days. I would love to meet Taker at a signing one day. The Mfn G.O.A.T imo
92-93 taker was my fav. He had the grey gloves, boots and tie plus he had got rid of the mullet and grown his fringe out to cover his eyes. I was 12 at the time and got goosebumps when the gong hit and the lights went out. If you look back at those matches and watch his entrance you’ll see little kids in the crowd petrified 😂. Amazing entrance in 93 at Wrestlemania 9 with the black bird of prey.
Undertaker respect for the business is awesome!
The turn from Summer Slam 91 to Survivor Series 91 and then to WrestleMania 8 was all perfect transitioning and the Hogan - Taker Survivor Series, just being in thne building that night was amazing and then the passing of the torch with Hogan and Jake really swung it. Even now you wish they would've completed the Jake vs Ultimate Warrior feud with Undertaker involved as those vignettes from the 90's especially were always cinematic episodes, rather than just promo's.
Old school wrestling will never be topped and everyone should go back as Mark says" the match is half over before I get to the ring" because wrestling isn't about the in ring, but the whole story from beginning to end, every layer, every chapter and the ride you are taken on..
Last wrestling match I attended with my father before he passed. WM8
One of the best things from this feud was Macho Man hitting Jake with a chair and listening to Jake Roberts screeching like a dying raptor. 😂
Mark is THE MAN
