What Could Have Been: WrestleMania 8

Randy Savage vs Jake Roberts

The "Snake Bite" incident

Leading into WrestleMania 8, Randy Savage was involved in a heated feud with Jake Roberts. Roberts had not only had his pet cobra bite the arm of Randy Savage, but even laid his hands on Miss Elizabeth!

Creative was seemingly leading to one final blow-off match between the two at the WrestleMania event. It was rumored the match could be inside a steel cage, which was headlining many house shows at the time. or even have a “Loser Leaves Town” stipulation since Roberts was eyeing a backstage role with the company.

But due to previously mentioned issues with the Hogan versus Flair program, Savage instead replaced Hogan in the title match at WrestleMania. This left Roberts to begin a feud with then-partner The Undertaker.

The Undertaker would turn face for the feud, leading to a seven-year run as one of the company's top good guys. Roberts’ role as an agent never panned out, and he would leave for WCW not long after.
