Many WWE superstars in the locker room today would turn to The Undertaker for advice if he was present, but for The Deadman himself, the man he turned to was Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.

Although he now only wrestles a couple of times a year, The Undertaker is one of the longest-serving active superstars in WWE today and has plenty of experience under his belt.

He can be a person for younger talent to approach for advice if needed, but during his full-time days, a person he turned to when he needed advice was Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.

Speaking on the Broken Skull Sessions with Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Phenom revealed how Roberts' knowledge of in-ring psychology helped The Undertaker make his own character unique.

He said, via Ringside News: "Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, man — brilliant mind.

"Unbelievable insight on how to put that character together and he would tell me like he would listen to Pink Floyd or he would listen to Black Sabbath which, you know that got me, ‘Okay I’m gonna get some heat for this’ I would look in the Bible for different verses. Back then it didn’t bother me as much to alter it around a little bit, you know who am I tell?”

“So I started looking outside the box on how to put this character together and he would — he didn’t even tell me this, but I heard him tell ‘Once the music starts you are that person,’ you know I probably took it a step further because I stayed that person for the first five or six years, but he had so many good innovative ways to put things together and to look at different aspects of the business that no one got.

“Jake never was a screamer and that was something I knew I wasn’t gonna be. I knew it was gonna be a slow, methodical promo and then when Paul Bearer came along it was easy because he had that high-pitched creepy thing that got people and then I would come in with you know, ‘Rest In Peace.'

“You had people screaming and hollering, but unless the message is good they’re not really listening, you know? But someone starts talking low, what the Hell’s he saying? He’s gonna put you in the ground and the worms are gonna eat your rotting flesh?

"Just stuff that people hadn’t heard in the wrestling world. Thank goodness they became enthralled in the morbid stuff we’re doing and it just really gelled well.”

Roberts is one of the greatest superstars in WWE history, and it's crazy to think The Undertaker might not have been the character we know and love today without the influence and wisdom of The Snake.
