incredible Jake Roberts interview

[Hack Blowfist]

It's not a shoot style interview but an almost 1.5 hour lesson in wrestling psychology. If was a youngin' just getting started in the business I'd be listening to this over and over WITH NOTES. There are people in the business in prominent positions with years of experience who don't know this stuff. (isn't it obvious )

I'm sure a lot of it won't be new to many of you but there's still gems to be found. I really can't recommend this enough. One of the most entertaining things I've ever found on Youtube ever.

Meh, I'm not trying to be a pro wrestler so it doesn't matter to me.

I'd love to hear a regular shoot interview like they did with Sunny and Honky Tonk though

[Smokey McTrees]

awesome! Jake is such a tortured genius.

that man is the smartest bloke in wrestling history. i know a hell of alot more about wrestling now. say what you like about jake, but he knows what hes doing.

I've seen this already, but I agree, Jake really knows how to tell a story. It's useful not only for wrestlers, but writers too. Get from point A to point B in a realistic fashion and try to capture the audience's emotion. That's the way to tell a story.

And I completely agree with Jake about the selling in wrestling right now. I remember when someone would hit the ring post and be counted out because he was too hurt to get back in the ring. Now that's a normal spot. Stuff like that and the whole bastardization of wrestling due to ECW and Attitude has really turned me off completely.

Wow I had no idea that David Crosby was a wrestler.
