 Ricky Steamboat vs. Jake Roberts - Death Valley Driver Video Review Message Board
Steamboat was smart with working Jake's arm but this didn't really play into the match nor did it seem to fit the "anything goes" atmosphere that surrounded it.
Then Jakes work on the neck and head of Ricky was a good set up for the DDT; especially the slingshot into the ringpost.
Ricky annoys me by coming out an doing basic scientific stuff in the beginning after Jake had bounced his head off the concrete, but from the five mintue moment on, Jake is evil (and already with a vocal group of fans) and Ricky seems mad and bands the rules to get even a bit.

 Ricky Steamboat vs Jake Roberts - Death Valley Driver Video Review Message Board
Roberts spends the first part of the match blocking all of Steamboats strikes and evading and outhinking him.
Granted, Jake is aware of this limitation and constructs his matches around it, but it's still a limitation.
I really dig this match alot! Jake blocking all the chops early on really built up Steamboat's chops in the match so that when Steamboat started getting them through it seemed big! But Jake doesn't forget the chops or his strategy to avoid them when Ricky is on a tear hitting them.
