Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, and that famous cobra incident

Jake Roberts always had a dark side, and you'd think a man who associates with reptiles and places a live man-eating snake on top of his fallen foes would be a natural baddie. However, Jake spent the majority of his first WWE run as a babyface, feuding with such notables as Rick Rude and Andre the Giant.

Roberts did turn heel, however, and boy did he ever! Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most iconic scenes from the 1990s was when he used a (devenomed) cobra on a helpless Randy Savage.
