5. 'I'm The One Your Mother Always Warned You About'
https://youtu.be/ysYrQIVHXjs Jake Roberts was a truly unique talent. Here we find him sneaking up on Okerlund to add some weight to an upcoming bout with 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. Okerlund and Roberts had great chemistry, and looking back at these old promos it is easy to forget how much Okerlund brought to the product. Roberts is all energy here, taking his usual style and adding extra energy and fire, a clear sign of a man ready and fired up for his forthcoming match. There is an intensity here that seemed to be lacking in most promos of the time, the focused ire of a man about to go and do a job. It is another short, sharp and sweet piece of work from one of the greatest of all time.
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.
