I watched his other interview. Really cool stuff, and you can tell Jake isn't talking about any bullshyt, just shoots.

I wish the interviewers would go more in-depth on when he was booking though. Heard through many shoots that Jake has one of the best minds when it comes to gimmicks and matches and wanted to hear more of that.

These 80's wrestlers had a twisted fukkin sense of humor. Being that Jake is still with I guess it didn't happen because I'm sure Rude would've beaten him to pulp or worse.

Nah. There have been WAY worse ribs I've heard in various shoots/books.
