14 In-Ring Wrestling Secrets Jake Roberts Revealed On Stone Cold's Podcast

12. 'It's Not About Your Size; It's About Perception'

Another Canada story leads to Roberts talking about the brilliance of Dynamite Kid, the infamous Preston-born maestro, as renowned for his backstage cruelty as his in-ring genius. Jake explains that people bought Dynamite as a threat despite his short stature because he was "a damn terrier" and "wrestled smart". He then explains that a lack of size should always be used to a wrestler's advantage; babyfaces can use it to garner sympathy, while heels can use it as an excuse to be "a rotten son of a b****", relying on trickery and ruthlessness to win matches rather than strength.
