WWE Superstar Jake 'The Snake' Roberts called the Monkeys Fighting Robots hotline Tuesday to discuss his latest film 'The Bet,' his spoken word tour, and the state of the WWE.

JAKE “THE SNAKE” ROBERTS BIO

Menacing, intimidating and totally hypnotic in the ring, Jake “The Snake” Roberts was a Superstar capable of taking you down physically as well as psychologically. Slithering to the ring with a monstrous python concealed in a burlap sack, Jake used fear as a weapon as deftly as he used pain.

He made his intentions known when he savagely DDT’d Steamboat onto a concrete floor, putting him in the hospital for weeks.

Who you gonna call?!

Paul Feig’s ‘Ghostbusters’ is finally here, was all the anti-women, anti-reboot nerd rage worth it? The film is trending on Rotten Tomatoes at a 75% and a four out ten stars on IMDB. Are the fanboys or the critics correct in their reviews?

Feig even sounds tired of the chaos at this point.

“It’s been quite a ride, gang. Supporters, you rock. Haters, I’ve heard you all. Now let’s all just have fun. We need it,” said Feig.

There is so much to debate, Matt and EJ dissect ‘Ghostbusters’ from all angles.
