WWE locker room did not know he was Jake Roberts' relative, says veteran (Exclusive)

A veteran recently recounted his experiences in WWE. He also commented on his relationship with Jake Roberts and how it affected his time in the Stamford-based promotion.

The veteran in question, Sam Houston, is the half-brother of the legendary Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. As expected, Sam is also very talented in the ring and can get fans invested in his matches. He is currently semi-retired and wrestles only occasionally in the Independent circuit.

According to Sam, most people were unaware that he was Jake Roberts' relative during his time in WWE. Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, he explained:

"Nobody knew. That was still kayfabe. Only people that knew was from down and mid-south area, we were brothers. There weren't very many folks at all who knew. Andre knew. I have known him since I was 10 years old. Andre knew, (Hacksaw Jim) Duggan knew. There were a few people that knew, but for the most part, no, nobody knew." [34:14 onward]

Sam Houston recently won his fight against Cancer. It remains to be seen if he will be more active in the ring soon and if a WWE appearance is part of his plans.
