Jake is and was simply the greatest heel promo ever.

[@davidian2.024]

Sheeesh....what has wrestling become? So contrived now. How simple and effective was that promo. Like a master painter.

[@blairomontana69]

Solid work on putting up these promos brother! Jake is the best promo cutter in the business

This was 34 years ago and I'm still nervous.

[@martindoll5884]

He learned how to be a heel down in Florida working with Kevin Sullivan and having Dusty as the booker. Two greats to learn from

Jake Roberts was the meaning of heel... He was born to be one of the greatest heel ever... Stone Cold had looked this promos to become the rattlesnake...

[@harps1974]

He's biggest mistake was going to the WWF....Roberts was better in Mid-Atlantic Wrestling

[@harps1974]

Mid South Wrestling

[@dabadguy7882]

Maybe but where was the money in the 80s?? Answer: WWF.

[@fatalsniper3413]

Really? If true he is the wrestling goat because in WWF he outshined Macho Man and Hogan. I can't imagine him being any better

[@MrSmitty1074]

[@koryandrews1665]

It wasn't a mistake, it was a business decision. WWF was where the big money was. It ALWAYS boils down to 💸💲💰💵
