During an appearance on Eric Bischoff's podcast, Jake Roberts told a story about how Miss Elizabeth's parents reacted to the angle where he slapped her at the 1991 Tuesday in Texas PPV: “The other bad time I had with Randy (Savage) is when they had me slap Elizabeth. You can imagine what that was like,” Roberts said. “That wasn’t even funny. That angle that we did with the snake bite and Elizabeth should have went on. We should have gone to WrestleMania with that, but we didn’t. I was like, ‘Why in the hell isn’t this being strung out?’ Bottom line was Elizabeth’s grandparents and parents weren’t sma herert, okay? Randy had promised them that Elizabeth would never, ever get physically involved or hurt during his wrestling career and yet she just got slapped. Randy and her went back to visit her grandparents and the old man pulled a gun on him and said, 'Don’t you even think about coming in the house!'" He said that Elizabeth’s grandfather continued with, “‘Don’t come back! Don’t come back! Our little girl did get hurt! Be a man of your word!’ All of that stuff. Randy got kicked out and he had to make it up to them right away and that meant cleaning my clock. interview can be found here |

sounds like elizabeth's family was a bit sheltered to say the least.
poor macho man with elizabeth. sounds like a tragic couple for so many reasons.

Talk about being worked into a shoot...
BTW, this should be in the Classics board.

It's wild to think about a time when people thought wrestling was a shoot. I know it wasn't that long ago but it's hysterical to hear stories like this.
My parents told me right away. I think they were largely afraid I would go to school in a kilt and put someone in the Sleeper Hold. So what I'm saying right now is that in 1991, at 7ish years old, I knew wrestling was "fake" and these people thought their granddaughter was getting slapped around by Jake the Snake. Amazing how much the audience has changed over the last 25 years, let alone how it changed from the 70s to the 90s.

For how protective her family was, and how innocent she was, I have always wondered how did her and Savage meet?

I'm willing to bet this is why she isn't in the WWE HOF. Her family is still bitter over that moment nearly 26 years ago.

I'm more willing to bet that her family is bitter about her death and blame the wrestling business for her death.

That's crazy. If she had knowledge of pro wrestling, she should of told her parents. |
