Jake “The Snake” Roberts was a recent guest on “Why It Ended With Robbie E”. During the interview, old accusations from former pro wrestler “Golden Boy” Jerry Grey were brought up. Grey has repeatedly told anyone who would listen that Roberts scammed him out of over $10,000 many years ago. Jake vehemently denied the allegations:
On Allegations He Scammed Grey:
ROBERTS: “Jerry’s some mistakes you know, he’s said some things that aren’t true, he’s trying to raise money to pay for his care, I know he’s having a tough time, but Jerry when you team up with Honky Tonk (Man)”
(HOST) MATT KOON: “It seems like he’s calling in debts from 25 years ago, it doesn’t seem really fair.”
ROBERTS: “It’s a lie, its a lie man, Jesus Christ where in the hell is he gonna get 10,000 dollars? If he loaned me ten thousand dollars wouldn’t he have get it writing at least, Jesus its the most ridiculous crap ever, and here’s how you know…. Honky Tonk’s involved…. you know, give me a break, Honky you loser, sit down and shut up.
On What He Believes Grey’s Motivation TO Be:
You know when you are down and out and you’re dying of cancer, things aren’t too damn good, I get it But don’t attack your friends Jerry, Jesus its just so sick its sad, and just because Honky can sell ‘hey man if you did it it would be a good way you can get a bunch of people up Jake’s ass, and guess what? They will probably throw some money at you, you know what I mean man, because no one knows who you are Jerry, and you can get some publicity on ya’…. Jesus Christ man..welcome to Memphis Honky.. Go home.
