WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts has offered a critique of one of the biggest stars in the history of the business, John Cena, stating that he believes the 17-time world champion has “been there way too long.” The legendary veteran also urged WWE management to make better use of another top star, Randy Orton.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Games Hub, Roberts was asked for his thoughts on the current WWE landscape. When asked if there were any performers he felt were being overused, he was quick to name the leader of the “Cenation. “Of course, I think John Cena’s playing them up. He’s been there a while, hasn’t he? Way too long.”
When asked if there were any stars he felt were being underutilized, Roberts singled out “The Viper,” Randy Orton. He believes that the third-generation superstar “needs more” and “could deal with more” than his current role in the company. Ric Flair recently stated this same opinion.
“There’s several, you know, I don’t stay on top of the product like I should or like I used to anyway. So it’s really unfair for me to even go there, but Randy Orton, he needs more, he could deal with more.” He added, “Oh, Randy Orton is a lot like Jake the Snake. Without a doubt. Just the mannerisms and the way he carries himself.”
