I found this on Youtube. Pretty much summarizes how great Jake Roberts was on the mic. His promos were absolutely perfect, because he seemed 100% genuine and convincing and never felt like he was acting. One of the top 5 mic workers of the 80's/90's, and in my opinion, somewhere in the top 10 of all time... Yet you rarely see him in the top 10 lists that people put out. I don't even think the list that WWE put out recently had Jake Roberts on it. WWE would be a lot better today if everyone was as believable and flawless as he was on the mic.

Can't watch this video in particular, but Roberts was a great mic worker indeed.

WTF? Video wasn't private before. I don't see the logic in putting videos on a site like Youtube but then making them 'private.'
