Jake “The Snake” Roberts didn’t hold back in a wild new conversation with CYInterview, where he shared one of the most outrageous backstage stories in wrestling history — and yes, it involves Haku.

Speaking ahead of his upcoming WrestleMania week appearances in Las Vegas, Roberts was asked who the toughest man in professional wrestling really was. His answer was immediate. “He’s absolutely number one without a doubt,” Jake said about Haku.

And then came the moment of the interview. “I’ve been around him when he’s done some pretty crazy things, man,” Roberts told CYInterview. “I watched him bite a guy’s nose off in a bar. Bit the nose completely off.”

For those familiar with Haku’s legendary toughness, this might not come as a total shock — but hearing it confirmed, especially in such a graphic way, sent fans into a frenzy.

Roberts didn’t stop there. “I watched him body slam a policeman in Montreal on the concrete,” he added, painting a picture of just how intense things could get when Haku was provoked.

This kind of no-holds-barred tale is nothing new from Roberts, who’s been reflecting more openly in recent years about his time in the wrestling business, especially since getting sober 12 years ago. But even in an era full of intense road stories and backstage fights, this one stands out.

Jake will be part of WrestleCon from April 17 to April 20 at the Westgate Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and is also hosting a WrestleMania Night 2 watch party on April 20 at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. Fans who attend might even get a few extra details about Haku’s barroom showdown — if they’re brave enough to ask.

With all the talk about wrestling legends and their toughness, Jake Roberts just reminded the world who truly had the scariest reputation. And in this case, the myth sounds just as real as the man.
