Re: Legend or Not? V.5 Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Jake "The Snake" Roberts can easily be called a legend, but I think that his career could have been so much more. His promo skills have never been bettered, he was a master of ring psychology (he actually made a blindfold match watchable), he invented the DDT and was probably the most convincing heel of all time. If Roberts had stayed with WWF in 1992 (instead of moving to WCW) I believe that he would have held at least one WWF championship in his career. When he returned in 1996 he was a shell of his former self. WWE exploited his misery and alchohlism for the sake of storylines and jokes and made him look washed up and broken. It was tragic and a pathetic waste of a great talent. I think WWE should employ hom to teach youngsters how to cut convincing promos.
Next: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan or Bobby Heenan.
