Jake Roberts was just a feud maker. Everything he was involved in instantly became interesting. He worked well as a heel or a face (as did Eddie, I suppose)...but maybe it's just the old school in me that had no problem voting for Jake Roberts here.

Eddie wins easily for me. Was always one of my favourites, can't find a single fault with him.

No question Eddie had a greater career, but I'm an admitted Jake mark so he gets my vote. When you talk about psychology and mic work Jake goes at or near the top of the list. And his work in the ring was also superb, I think people forget that.

Jake doesn't come close. There's no areas that Eddie is worse than Jake in that pertain to wrestling even loosely.

Someone get some really great Jake Roberts videos in here. Is that legal? Or do we have to give Eddie an equal number of videos? Because I want to see how wrong I was/am.

You can post or discuss whatever you want as long as it's on the topic of the matchup, or one of the two wrestlers in question.

Voted for Eddie, but I hope Jake wins. But ya, Eddie carried Smackdown!, Jake never had to carry anything nor could he.

Uncle Eddie was great, but Jake wins this based on promo / mic work alone.

Eddie couldn't play mind games like Jake could though...... His psychology in the ring was just awesome.

I've always been of the opinion that Jake is (was) one of the greatest minds in the business. His promos are second to none, and when he hit the DDT, everyone knew it meant something.
I could go off on a tangent about how the DDT is overused in the modern era, but that's another discussion. |

The mark in me wants Jake to win, but I feel like Eddie was the better wrestler. Stupid logic? Naw, maybe you should ask politely before insulting.

Logic has nothing to do with these threads. If you want Jake to win, vote for Jake. It doesn't get much more simple than that. There would be absolutely no consequences for you voting for Jake.

So your telling me how to play a game with no rules? If I think someone is the better wrestler, I will vote for them. You play your way, I will play mine.

Nah, the idea is too vote for who you think is better, while it's acceptable to vote for markish reasons it isn't the idea.

jake the snake, no question. he was one of the first heels that i liked growing up. something about the presence that he brought to the screen made you pay attention. he demanded it. no knock to eddie here, but jake roberts is the fucking man, no doubt.

Eddie Guerrero.
Never really cared for Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Just an interesting note that I've trained with Jake and wrestled on the same show as him before BUUUUUUUT I think by now most indy wrestlers have. Also, Eddie Guerrero is just a lot better and more fun to watch IMO. |

I loved both guys. Jake was THE guy who started the intense quiet promos. Don't have to yell to get his point across, and it drew you in. Fuck, he gave us the DDT.
But there is something about Eddie that made me vote for him. |

I'd vote for Jake out of spite, but the fact is I don't have to. Jake was one of the best (if not THE best) psychological workers of his time. I really feel like he was further up the ladder in the way he worked than Eddie was in the way he worked.
Also, he's definitely a far better drunk and druggie than Eddie was... since, you know... still alive an all. |

Also, Jake was one of the first guys to successfully work heelishly while still solidly in a face role.
