Modern Day Jobbers

[SocraticMethod]

You gave 2 good examples. Bo Dalls and Zack Ryder are literally never on TV, I watch every RAW and Smackdown and never see them.

Bo got killed by Brock on Raw right after SummerSlam and wrestled Orton a couple weeks ago.

Bo needs to be teamed up w/ his brother on The Wyatts and create an unstoppable cult!

Bo's got decent promos!

Yea, twice in 4 months, he is a jobber. Rollins/Bray/Cesaro types are not jobbers even though they lose a lot. They have matches with storylines, jobbers are there for squash matches and that's all.

Old School Jobbers:
We never given a mic
Their TV entrances were never televised
Never in feuds
No flashy outfits

These points mean nothing!

Brooklyn Brawler got on the mic once in a blue moon, had an entrance, had a feud at one point, or another, and certainly had an "outfit".

Even Barry Horowitz had his patented self-pat-on-the-back gimmick!

That's not entirely true. I remember a couple jobbers from when I was kid pretty vividly.

Behold:

Spoiler

Some jobbers just stay with you over the years. The two Barrys above are prime examples of that.

Everyone Cena beats according to the Internet.

The meaning of "jobber" has changed so drastically, why even use it anymore? Unless in some sort of specific context, eg "Kane is a jobber to the stars".

Is accusing a guy of being a jobber rassler bashing?

sounds like it to me

Modern-day jobbers like Kane, Mark Henry, etc clear 7 figures/year, and are staples in the WWE. The term simply doesn't mean what it used to.

Just Joe.

Can you just go with the flow, Brah!?

Split hairs much!?

 

[Shijima Claw]

Well, if you are John Cena, everybody is a jobber. It's a matter of perspective.

Yes but RAW and Nitro changed the game, back then the main event was Mr Perfect vs Van Van Horn, thats not acceptable now on any match of the program.

Kinda sad that some lucha legends like the Villanos were probably the only old school jobbers in the monday night wars era.



Thunder and Satirday Night were another deal, they did have alot more old school match making .

They will be considered gatekeepers in MMA.

Heath Slater hasn't won a match in over a year I think. Adam Rose almost never wins, and when he does it isn't televised

 

[Ocean Chief]

Jobber is such an outdated role. Along with squash matches. Wrestling would be better off if both were removed (even though Lucha Underground did do a better job than most with jobbers and squashes).

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Quite a few NXT women are jobbers. I also really remember
Colin Delaney.

The current crop of losers in the WWE are not jobbers. Jobbers are not supposed to get offense in.

Instant ban and a beating from the mod living nearest.
