Jake is an incredible asset to my promotion for many reasons with the biggest being his versatility. His promo skills are some of the best the wrestling world have ever seen, both as a face and as a heel. My hatred for Ted Dibiase as a kid was largely driven by Jake's promos, and in an instant he became my most hated man on Earth by torturing Randy Savage and Elizabeth.

Here is my favorite face promo of his (from WrestleMania VI, please please watch if you never have before):

Of course we need to prove his heel skills too:

He wasn't a complete stiff in the ring either, although he doesn't have any true mat-based classics on his WWF resume (not like anyone really did in the time period). I will also, of course, have to deal with his alcohol and drug problems later in his career, although this occurs far enough down the road of his career that his eventual departure shouldn't make much of an impact.

Roster thus far:

The Rock
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper
Jake "The Snake" Roberts
