WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts has reportedly agreed to drop all charges against Harry Smith (Davey Boy Smith/DH Smith) following an incident at WrestleCon during WrestleMania 34 weekend in New Orleans.
According to a report by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online, Roberts dropped the charges after a phone conversation setup by WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart. Both privately apologized to each other over the phone about the incident.
As reported earlier, Smith reportedly threw coffee in the face of Roberts over comments Roberts made about his father (the late British Bulldog) who passed away in May of 2002. Roberts made the negative comments on a podcast with the late “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.
Smith issued the following statement this weekend:
https://www.facebook.com/RealWrestlingNewsAndOpinionatedViews/“I’d like to announce publicly and officially that I spoke with Jake Roberts on the phone today and we squashed heat we have for what happened at the WrestleCon event. I apologized and said I would apologize publicly as Jake agreed he would be dropping any charges pressed against me. I’m a man of my word and I’d like to say sorry to any fans that I stressed with this situation also. I wish Jake all the best and glad that we squashed the heat. I actually had spoken to Roddy Piper before he passed away about the podcast Jake and he did. I’m certainly glad we worked things out, as Roddy died [not] long after.”
