In an episode of DDP Snake Pit, Roberts said he wasn't unable to play the "office games" well because he was an old-school guy. He wasn't tech-savvy either and admitted he had an addictive personality:
"I didn’t play the office game very well. I’m old school. I use about three things on this phone. That’s it. I’m not a tech guy and the reason being is I have an addictive personality."
The AEW veteran added that if he could get his hands on technology, he'd be hooked to it and would never stop using it:
"If I was to get into that, I'd do nothing but look at that all day long. They'd find me in a room shriveled up and dead because I get hooked on something and I don’t give it up."
Jake Roberts was jealous when he was with WWE
Jake Roberts admitted jealousy played a part in his WWE career. He thought once a wrestler made it into the office, it was all good. He added that if he made even a slight error in the office, he'd make everybody mad, calling it a "waste of energy."
"The other problem was jealousy. I didn’t know that you had play these games with the other people that are in there. I thought once you were in the office, you were okay. I found out if you took wrong seat in the limo, you’re going to piss somebody off. I hated it. I hated it. Such a waste of energy." (H/T - WrestlingInc)
"I'm not in AEW to take the whole pie. Just your share."
