Jake “The Snake” Roberts has praised Bray Wyatt‘s work in WWE, mentioning some advice he has given to the wrestler.
Roberts is a big admirer of in-ring psychology and character work and believes that Wyatt is succeeding in making people think.
In 2014, it was reported that Roberts had been providing help to Wyatt, giving him advice at times on his character development. Roberts is known for being one of the most creative minds in the wrestling business, and his advice appears to have paid off as Wyatt has seen his career skyrocket since undergoing multiple character overhauls through the years.
On the latest episode of The Snake Pit podcast, Roberts revealed giving Wyatt some advice that the latter has since used for interviews.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Wyatt’s current work in WWE: “Oh, Bray’s wonderful. He’s got a lot to do yet, hopefully, he’ll get enough room to let him do it.”
On Wyatt’s ability to make people react to him: “He’s freaking people out. Here this guy is putting this s*** together that makes you think, ‘F**k, this is real.’”
On giving Wyatt advice: “The one time we did get together, I gave him several ideas for some interviews and he used them! I have the utmost respect for him… Usually those transition things really suck, but his didn’t suck so bad because he took some time off to do it. And he made the people want to see him back.”
