Rick Rude had a distinct character, knew it very well, and knew that he be could absolutely obnoxious with it if he did it right. And he was, it worked perfectly. He had an incredible look and was more than solid in the ring. His feud with Ultimate Warrior was pretty incredible because he managed to pull this great, deep, classic feud out of a guy who didn't really want to do anything except for wrestle squashes.
But...
Jake Roberts was a master of ring psychology, mind fuckery, and crowd manipulation that doesn't really get his fair shake in history IMO. He definitely did alot more with less I'd say than Rude. He wasn't a ridiculously looking body builder, he didn't do any experimental moves, he didn't go to the "high rent district"... but you just couldn't help but want to watch the guy. His charisma was off the fucking charts and he always knew exactly what to do to get the crowd eating out of his hand.
Taking Snake in this one.
