This is totally off-topic, but does anybody remember Jake Roberts ever losing a match in the WWF - WHILE he was a hero, NOT as a heel? He lost his fair share as a heel, but I was thinking about it and even when he got the crap kicked out of him as a good guy, I don't recall him ever going down for a three count to anybody...to my memory, he always came out of the match with either a DQ over his opponent, a count out or a straight out pinfall.

Just curious.

I dont know for sure, but I think Ted Million Dollar Man (I cant remember how to spell his name, lol) beat him at house shows all the time, I think I even saw him do it at Maple Leaf Gardens....
I also saw Jake go at it with Andre The Giant at the Gardens, ahhh the good old days.....

--ESPN Classic Canada will be doing a tribute to Curt Hennig on 4/24 with six hours of old TNA PPV matches. Among the matches will be Jeff Jarrett vs. Hennig for the NWA title and Hennig's last TNA match against David Flair.

Very cool, as a Curt mark I will be checking that out....

I saw a couple of solo Jake matches out here...against Rick Rude during their feud (and WHAT a feud that was...they just don't make em like that anymore!)...beat Rick by a DQ, I think...against Hercules Hernandez, that was a pinfall win...against Andre, won that by count out I think...and tagging with Ultimate Warrior against Andre and Rick Rude...this was while Rude was I-C champion, having defeated Warrior to get it and about two weeks before he dropped it back to him...Warrior pinned Rick to end that one.

Met Jake once, and what was said on that "Beyond the Mat" documentary was right - you don't know where Jake Roberts begins and "The Snake" ends...I was VERY creeped out by meeting him - thought he was going to slug me for being a fan and annoying him...spooky guy....

AH YES, now I remember.

I don't really think Jake dropped all that many as a fan favorite though, not a large margin anyway. Jake would have made one hell of a good I-C champion back in WWFs heyday, I don't know why he never got it...

Talking about Jake, go to wrestlecrap.com this week (items change on Friday) and check out the new induction for hereos of wrestling. It features audio of Jake's drunk monologue and photos of his using the snake in a falic way and having old women rub his man boobs.

Wow, UT beat Randy Orton?

I thought he would have been putting him over by losing his 12-0 streak.

i hear Orton has to have shoulder surgery, so him losing was a gimme.

Is Austin back?/ or was that a 1 shot deal...

Lamecast© prevented me from seeing any of it.

We sat there and waited for them to fix it and it never happened.

I noticed HHH didn't retain...but did a clean job in the middle of the ring.

I'm glad I didn't take Bug up on that bet!:D

We're hoping to get a free replay out of the deal.

Match of the night?

I really wanted to see HBK/Angle.

I think it was just a one shot deal. It's not that he doesnt want to wrestle, its that he cant...

He ran out on RAW earlier.

Maybe they're paying him show-by-show?

Considering Austin's history, it'd be the smartest move.
