Wrestling fans, past & present: Who was your favorite jobber?

[Beware the Beast Man]

I have to give it up for S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones.
Lost to King Kong Bundy at the first Wrestlemania in nine seconds.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

1. Silent Brian Mackney

Always teamed with Iron Mike Sharpe, AKA "Canada's Greatest Athlete".

[JimmyJazz]

2. Bruno!

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. Bruno was NOT a jobber!

He held the WWF title for something like 8 years...

I guess I should school you on wrestling terminology.

"Jobbers" are wrestlers that are brought in to lose to bigger stars. There aren't as many jobbers in pro wrestling these days, as it got kind of predictable when someone like "Macho Man" Randy Savage wrestled a guy named Joe Smith.

[JimmyJazz]

7. Joe Smith? That was my first boyfriend's name.

and thanks for the lesson. Sorry that I messed up the question. It's been a LONG day. :(

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. All good. I still dig ya!

:hug:

[JimmyJazz]

9. shit.

thanks.

[Ron Mexico]

51. Years ago there was some poor sap named Cliff somebody who was

brought in as cannon fodder against Dominic Dinnuci (sp?) and / or Waldo Von Erich. This was when I was like five or six, I can't remember his last name, but I distinctly remembering wondering how he could be alive. He took his assbeating every week and my father would say "He must be the richest man in the world."

[Meatwad]

3. Anyone who wrestles Triple H.

Zing!

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. You ain't kidding.

I guess it pays to marry the boss' daughter.

[enigmatic]

4. The Mulkeys

There is no other..

[enigmatic]

29. I can't believe The Mulkeys aren't getting any love

Wetzel and I could mop the floor w/ them!

[sasquatch]

49. Dude, those are just briars w/no shirts on

[mitchum]

10. "Nathan The Crippled Jew" (Thanks, Richard Lewis!)

I don't steal material

[WeRQ4U]

11. Any one of the hacks that Bad News Brown smashed with a ghetto blaster.

He always fought jobbers on "Main Event" nights.

[sasquatch]

12. Best one ever: The Brooklyn Brawler

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Dammit, you just beat me!

[sasquatch]

15. You snooze you lose

[ghostsofgiants]

17. I just had to go for the picture, didn't I?

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Brooklyn Brawler

[enigmatic]

16. hahaha

Poor Steve Lombardi...

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. He is a losing legend.

I intentionally didn't say him because I thought it would be too obvious.

[ghostsofgiants]

42. Definitely obvious...

But such a classic.

[Wetzelbill]

24. jeezus, Bernie Kerik has gone downhill

:)

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. I'll go real obscure and add Jake 'The Milkman' Milliman of the AWA.

Though he did win the dreaded "Turkey on a Pole" match. :wtf:

[hfojvt]

20. Jesse " the body" Ventura

did he ever beat Hulk Hogan, even once?

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. He was definitely lackluster in the ring,

but to his credit, his wrestling career ended rather early. And no, I don't think he ever beat Hogan, in the AWA or WWF.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

58. Not many people have

The Hulkster lays down for few........

[Crazy Guggenheim]

21. I don't knoe if he was a jobber or not but Ernie Ladd only won

a *few* matches in his whole career. There was another one caleed The Black Demon who only won a few too.

[enigmatic]

23. Ernie Ladd was a Legend

Won the NWF Title and also the NWA-LA heavyweight title if I remember correctly; the guy was one of the greats..

[Crazy Guggenheim]

27. When I used to see him he would lose all the time. Maybe in the late

70's, early 80's things changed.

[Wetzelbill]

22. Barry Horowitz

He'd always pat himself on the back after he made some minor flurry of offense, then he'd get beat like a rented mule. :)

[enigmatic]

28. I knew I could count on you

I gotta go w/ Iron Mike Sharpe, too...

How's school? Did you get the woman you're after to go to coffee w/ you yet?

[Wetzelbill]

33. Iron Mike is a classic!

School is ok. Pretty fun. My Tribal Govt professor made fun of Michael Brown quite a bit on Tuesday, haha. It was funny as hell. Then he asked if we could take one face off of MT. Rushmore and put another one back on who would they be? We picked Jefferson. When it came time to add somebody I call out "Michael Brown." haha.

I talked to her today. Kinda wasn't feeling it. I'll talk to her again and see if I'm still interested. However,

I met the most adorable young woman today in my Health Care Policy Class. She's a short little stunner. I ended up talking to her a few minutes after class. Really eager to learn, great personality. I love happy people, the kind that put you in a good mood by just seeing them, you know what I mean? She seemed so excited to be in the class, and trust me, it can be boring as hell. I mean, health care policy? It just sounds tedious. Not to mention the professor, a helluva nice guy, could put Joe Lieberman to sleep. I actually dosed off for a few minutes today. She was enthusiastic as all hell about the class, I definitely liked that about her. She may be a little young for me, well, maybe not I guess. My dad is 12 years older than my mom, so I guess age isn't such a big deal. She was a confident little thing, she was about to walk out of the building after our conversation and I said "I'm Bill btw". She turned around, stared me in the eyes and walked right up and shook my hand. Made the old ticker flutter a bit, haha. Nice girl though. I'll have to talk to her more next class. I'm definitely interested, I would say.

Barry Horowitz. A master! One of the best scrubs ever. No doubt about it. A true wrestling fan can appreciate that Barry actually had some skills too.

[enigmatic]

34. Go for it, my friend

She sounds great; if she's got the eye contact, she's interested.

Alot of these jobbers had some in-ring skills; what they lacked were the mic skills and the charisma to put them over. Then there are The Mulkeys:)

[Wetzelbill]

35. I always liked Tim Horner, as well

I once saw him wrestle Horowitz in an epic battle. Horner prevailed. That was a guy who had some ability. He must have been terrible on the mic, though.

[ghostsofgiants]

56. I hated him and his stupid mullet

Though I do remember when he finally won a match...I think it was against Chris Candito.

[defiant1]

63. Horowitz was GOD!!!!

That guy was an entertainer.

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. GILLBERG!!!!

[enigmatic]

30. He's not a jobber

But I'm totally digging this guy now on SD:

http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/kenkennedy/profile/

Misssterrr Kennnneeedddyy.......Kennedy..

[Meatwad]

31. Batista is still the man on Smackdown.

:thumbsup:

[Wetzelbill]

32. I have modeled my whole last three weeks on being like Batista...

I act like him and everything. Practiced his entrance a few times. Been lifting hard. Watching the diet a little. I want to Batista Bomb somebody given the chance. :)

[defiant1]

64. LoL....

That guy has superstar written all over him.....him..

[MrScorpio]

36. The Late Bobo Brazil

[BikeWriter]

37. He makes Ali look like a little guy.

[Fox Mulder]

38. Spike Dudley

[Politically_Wrong]

39. Shark-Boy!!!

he was in the WWE for a short time...but he was the best!

[sasquatch]

47. He lives in my town: Carlisle Ohio

[Politically_Wrong]

40. Shark-Boy!!!

he was in the WWE for a short time...but he was the best!

[Bassic]

41. It's a tie between

the Brooklyn Brawler and Barry Horrowitz.

[arwalden]

43. Wahoo McDaniel

[underpants]

57. Guess who his baseball coach was

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wahoo_McDaniel

[Crazy Guggenheim]

67. OMG!!

:spray: :spray: :spray:

[defiant1]

65. Wahoo was no jobber....

jabroni.

[swag]

44. Moondog spot

[terrya]

45. Sailor Art Thomas

Yes, there was a pro wrestler named Sailor Art Thomas. :-)

[MN ChimpH8R]

53. He used to come through the AWA every once in a while

when I was a kid. He wasn't a jobber up here.

Sailor Art:

[ReadTomPaine]

46. Was Ivan Putski considered a 'glamor' jobber?

I don't recall him winning against any superstars. That was quite a long time ago, however.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

59. Putski was a JTTS

"Jobber To The Stars"

Kinda like any guy in WWE now with the slightest bit of talent who can make anyone look good in the ring. See: Benoit, Chris.

[GalleryGod]

48. That would be Jimmy "SuperFly" Snuka!

back in the early 80's

[sasquatch]

50. Superfly wasn't a Jobber

[Crazy Guggenheim]

62. No he wasn't!! Not in my area! What area are you in?

[MN ChimpH8R]

52. Barry Horowitz, Iron Mike Sharpe

and a local legend from the AWA days, Kenny "the Sodbuster" Jay.

[HughBeaumont]

54. SIVI AFI!

Such a dumb rhyming name and he'd usually lose in a minute flat.

After him would have to be Barry Canvasback Horowitz, Barry O and Blimp-ass Rusty Brooks.

[Beware the Beast Man]

55. Aldo Montoya!!!!

But you can call him Justin Credible.

[defiant1]

66. Portugese Man o' Jock Strap!!!

:rofl:

[Texasgal]

60. The great KABUKI!

[jandrok]

61. Leapin' Lanny Poffo

later to be known as "The Genius"
