LWPD (this was from the WWF on their syndicated television circa August of '91...during this series of segments Jake Roberts walks a naive Ultimate Warrior down a series of challenges meant to get UW psychologically prepared to deal with the mindset of the dark side and The Undertaker...yet in the end the teacher turns into a Judas...this was meant to create a money program between Roberts and UW leading into the Survivor Series and beyond...but a real life walk out by UW killed JR's big payoff program)


"The Warrior's not taking these steps because he wants to...he has to...put the puzzle together...he has to do the hardest thing any man can do...trust me...TRUST ME...and he has done that..."

"Reach out for me?...I'm a snake...never trust a snake!"

-the cold calculating Jake Roberts...playing the role of mentor to a wanting Ultimate Warrior...leading him down the path of shattered dreams and broken spirits

That was a very masterful heel turn. Much better than nowadays someone just randomly turns on his partner in a tag match. (which isn't bad but just so overdone)

I remember this spawned the great "Trust me" Jake roberts music..really enjoyed this angle looking back on it.
