@MrGranthill33 Jake's character didn't seem like a person who wanted to compete for titles...he was a loner...the entire rest of the WWE was looking for titles and glory and to prove they were great...Jake's character just seemed sadistic...he wanted to DDT someone and throw the snake on them...the wrestlers of the '80s were more like fighters...it wasn't all about fancy moves like it is today...back in the day, they almost all used the same moves...it was more about personalities and mic skills

He got such limited opportunity to achieve anything and yet obtained legendary status.......a true great!

@XxowendanxX Agreed he was so talented and so good at all parts of his role including actual wrestling - not just promos - that he definately wasn't given any chance to win anything including the IC because the never had a fight in many big matches at all(including few if any title fights) and the few he had (aka later in his career, when he turned heel he lost everything for some reason) like the Macho and Taker he lost.

The thing that set Jake apart from nearly every wrestler concerning promos (aside from Foley) was that he rarely (if not ever) repeated himself. With guys like the Rock, Austin, even Flair (to some extent), the focal point of their promos was the catchphrases. And because of that, once their catchphrases caught on with fans, it seemed like they just went through the motions with the rest of the promos. Whereas Jake always had something new to say and it was always relevant and captivating.

Jake is the best ever at cutting promos, and I enjoyed the ones he did with Mean Gene because he would act so disgusted and Jake loved it.
