I seriously doubt anyone outside of wrestling fans have heard of either.

Alot of guys I know who don't watch wrestling know who Jake is. They also think HHH is Michael Bolton but they have heard of Jake The Snake.

so I think this round has gone the way most of us expected

Jake was a wonderful talent, but just didn't have the exposure to today's audience or the accolades to compete with Jericho.

Next matchup, I have no idea what's gonna happen. It's gonna be good. Probably not Austin/Taker good, but good nonetheless.

Jericho has been on Dancing with the Stars (which already requires SOME, even if it's a bare minimum, level of fame), hosted a game show on ABC (Albeit short lived. It was a prime time game show on ABC), is the lead singer of a rock band that performs with other bands who surely have non-wrestling fans, is on all those Vh1 shows that are pretty popular...

Jake obviously doesn't have the resume of Jericho but if you say Jake "The Snake" Roberts to non-wrestling fans, you're definitely gonna get some people who know exactly who you're talking about. Even if it's "The guy with the snake". You could make an argument that he's one of the 10 most recognizable names to people outside of wrestling.

All I know off Jake is the broken down boozed up guy. Jericho has been for the past decade and still is a upper mid card or main event guy. Did Jake ever reach those levels for a sustained amount of time?

No, but it was also much MUCH harder to get a sustained main event run back then. You were either Hogan, Warrior, Savage or the flavor of the month heel set to be vanquished by aforementioned Hogan, Warrior, and Savage.
