He just talks and talks without preparation. And everytime it's GOLD.

[@hymansahak181]

I don’t think there will be ever be anybody better than Jake when it comes to cutting promos.

[@7269im72m]

I don't know why this man did not win a single championship.

[@garygood6804]

Because that didn't work for hogan brother,

[@ryanhenry4389]

Pure gold promo

[@joeyravage4798]

No yelling. Just speaking in a chilling demeanor. Do you trust Jake?

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

When I see Ken I get the urge to the do the Wrestlerock Rumble!

[@traviswaynegreer1]

And thats why Jake was my favorite, even during the Hogan era...

George Steele didn’t show so Jake wrestled Jose Luis Rivera who pulled double duty that night wrestling Steve Lombardi early.Jake was legit mad & when they wrestled here in October 86 George beat Mr Fuji in a tuxedo match.Jake ran in & beat the hell out of The Animal.Corporal Kirshner who Jake would wrestle later that night eventually made the save

What a bizarrely random match-up. It didn't happen at the Meadowlands but it did happen a few times in the fall and winter of '86-'87.

Grandfather would have too come get me off the Aluminum dock of the bay during the thunderstorms and Hurricanes.

That match did not happen. Jose Luis Rivera replaced George Steele.
