Complete Monster: Jake Roberts' original gimmick.
Magnificent Bastard: At the time, he was disqualified from being a Magnificent Bastard due to being a Complete Monster. However, the Moral Event Horizon of what keeps a heel from being cool has shifted much further back by now (compare Jake getting furious heat for slapping Elizabeth to the Dudleys getting over for powerbombing women through tables), and nowadays he comes across as a classic Magnificent Bastard.
Narm: At the Heroes Of Wrestling event, Jake cut a drunken, nonsensical promo about gambling, which, in his alcohol induced state, probably seemed to make perfect sense.

Never Live It Down: His appearance at the Heroes Of Wrestling event will never be forgotten by fans. No matter how much they'd like to. Aside from his drunken promo, he attempted to tongue kiss his snake mid match, before that putting it between his legs and stroking it back and forth in front of a female fan and tried to drop his tights after the match. Luckily, they cut the feed before it could be seen.
So Bad It's Good: The aforementioned promo. Seen here.
