Jake Roberts Interview:

Roberts is sitting cross legged in the backstage area with the WWF World Title Belt lying by his side.

Roberts: Pain is a harsh mistress, is it not Randy Savage? Pain can be either physical or emotional. Through the years, I have finished off many unfortunate souls with the most deadly finisher in wrestling. Oh yes, once the DDT connects, no one gets up. Trust me, Savage, you will be no different. The pain you feel at Wrestlemania 8 will be the worst pain you have ever built. When President Slick made this match anything goes, he sacrificed you right to the snake’s den. Believe me, Randy Savage, I have no morals at all. I can do anything I want when you are in my turf. You shall be beaten within an inch of your miserable life, Randy Savage. At the largest wrestling event in the history of this great sport, you shall suffer for the sins of everyone. At Wrestlemania, you will be shown beaten and battered in front of the entire world. That is exactly what will happen to you, Randy Savage, because you don’t have the fire that you once had. Trust Me.
