There aren’t a lot of superstars in the history of the industry who have been more beloved, more iconic, and era-defining than Randy Savage.

In a 1991 episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling, Jake Roberts verbally provoked Randy Savage, calling out his manhood and saying he was “a gutless yellow stinkin’ coward.”
Savage eventually came out to address Roberts for his remarks. However, when met in the ring, Roberts got the better of Savage and tangled the former WWE champion in the ropes and Roberts introduced a cobra into the equation. The cobra then did what its natural instinct called. He bit Randy Savage!
