Jake Roberts Talks Proper Way to Execute/Sell a DDT, Wanting Another Chance in WWE

August 5, 2012

In an #AftermathRadio interview conducted by Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) and Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas), former WWE SUperstar Jake "The Snake" Roberts talks about the DDT – how it was created from a mistake in a match, to his thoughts on the move being used in virtually every pro wrestling show today, to how to properly execute and sell the move according to him.

He also talks about, despite making many personal and professional mistakes in his career, wanting another chance working for WWE and helping with the product, and the first thing he wants to do is apologize to Vince McMahon.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
