    Part 2: • Jake 'The Snake' Rober...
    In this clip, WWF legend Jake "The Snake" Roberts talks about growing up in Gainesville, Texas back in the 60s and 70s with a pedophilic father who left his mother who was only 17-years-old at the time, which led to his immediate family being split up. As the conversation moves along, the WWE Hall of Famer tells the story about how his father initially dated his grandmother before raping her daughter (his mother), he was 24 years old and she was 12-years-old. His dad eventually married his mother, despite the age gap. Elsewhere in the discussion, things take a turn for the worst, as Jake details moving in with his biological father and being raped by his stepmother.
