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.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
