His feud with 'Ravishing' Rick Rude showed that he was just as capable putting together promos filled with bile, energy, anger and hate. It was character development for Roberts, a natural development that kept what was great and added human elements. Up until this point, Jake was a cold-hearted man, seemingly incapable of basic human emotions. The feud with Rude brought these to surface, where the blood heated up and what was once cold now sparked fire. This was the 1980s babyface promo we all knew, just performed and delivered on a completely different level. And it only took 45 seconds.
