>As it turns out, that particular segment infuriated TBS, to the point that, according to Jake Roberts on his Snake Pit Podcast, AEW was banned from ever using live snakes going forward.
>“They’re not going to let a snake back in the ring, period. They were really pissed off that we used the snake. I guess they told us that wasn’t going to be allowed but we tried to do it anyway, they came down hard.”
>At one point, Roberts pitched a workaround to this problem to AEW’s creative team by suggesting they use an animatronic snake instead. That plan was scuttled due to the cost associated with such an endeavor.
