The 39th UFWL draft pick is none other than the master of promo and in ring psychology Jake "the snake" Roberts. Jake is best known for his 1980's run with the old WWF, and the inventor of the DDT. Without a doubt he is one of the best mid card wrestlers ever, and by now way is that a knock on what this guy could do in the ring or on a mike.
We drafted into the UFWL to do a lot of cool things with him. The first angle we plan to use him in is to reignite his brief WCW feud with Sting. For all of us old school wrestling fans we never thought that feud played out right, and that match at 1992 Halloween Havoc was not a great way for a feud between two great grapplers to end.
Of course Jake, like many others in his profession, often let his personal demons get the better of him. Our creative team decided that by drafting the Jake of the 1980's we hope to book him into major angles not only with Sting, but eventually we see him seeking some revenge on one Stone Cold Steve Austin. Since it was Jake that gave Austin that match at the 1996 King of the Ring that really made the career of Stone Cold.
