Title: Favorite Jobber
Mad Dog - December 29, 2004 07:17 AM (GMT)
I think mine will always be Lazertron. The goofy outfit and the really weak offense was always entertaining for some odd reason.
Iron Mike Sharpe and Ranger Ross were also favorites of mine.

In WWF, Koko B. Ware if he counts. Over babyface who rarely ever won a match against anyone at JTTS level.
I've always liked Barry Horowitz. S.D. Jones is on the list too.

The Brooklyn Brawler. And only when he was the Brooklyn Brawler. I was in mark-out city when he got that title shot against Hunter a few years back. Awesome stuff.
Mad Dog - December 30, 2004 06:02 PM (GMT)
I don't know if Koko quite counts as a jobber. I think he was more of a low level JTTS because he actually got squash matches from time to time. He just couldn't beat anyone important.
Scrooge McSuck - December 30, 2004 06:21 PM (GMT)
Good point... he's my favorite JTTS then.
How could I forget the Brooklyn Brawler? Anyone find it weird for someone from brooklyn he was wearing New York Yankee (Bronx Bombers) shirts? I think once in a blue moon he wore a Brooklyn Dodger shirt.
TehDoct0r - December 30, 2004 07:13 PM (GMT)
That's cause he turned heel on his own borough.

Barry Horowitz. The guy had a freaking silver hand on his jacket to pat his own back. How great is that?
Mad Dog - December 31, 2004 08:14 AM (GMT)
Crap, I knew I had forgotten someone. Horowitz was always a good jobber.
Scrooge McSuck - December 31, 2004 07:21 PM (GMT)
I've also always been partial to masked jobbers, like the Shadows, the Conquistadors, and The Executioners (early 90's team). Duane Gill was cool to see get his ass kicked, and also was an Executioner.
Mad Dog - December 31, 2004 11:54 PM (GMT)
There are some WCW jobbers from the late 90s that I really enjoyed. Disco Inferno before he started getting pushed, High Voltage before 98, Texas Hangmen, the Gambler, Chip Minton and Lenny Lane were all fun.
There was some guy that came out in a straightjacket and did kind of a Hannibal Lector gimmick during the dying days of WCW. He was so cool that I based an e-fed wrestler on him. Can't remember his name though.
S.T. Strickler - January 9, 2005 06:28 AM (GMT)
Barry Horowitz, Duane Gill (when I first started watching Superstars in '93, not the Gillberg gimmick), Barry Hardy, and Reno Riggins.
JD Storm - January 10, 2005 06:00 AM (GMT)
Horowitz and Duane Gill stand out a lot with me.
i seem to remember a guy named Jim Powers.......muscular dude, if memory serves me right.
i think we could add "Playboy" Buddy Rose to this.....if we're talking his WWF days.
Captain Ass - January 10, 2005 04:51 PM (GMT)
The Brawler & Horowitz, Duane Gill, and how about Jake "the milkman" Milliman? I remember when he got an arm wringer applied to him he said outloud "MY ARM HURTS". Just one of those things that stuck in my head... :lol:
Scrooge McSuck - January 10, 2005 07:07 PM (GMT)
Speaking of funny things like that...
At Uncensored 97, Mortis (a.k.a Kanyon) hit Glacier pretty softly to the side of the head, and out of nowhere...
Gladier: OW MY EAR!!!!!

Was that Jungle Jim Powers? Who went to have a half decent career in Japan?????
Scrooge McSuck - January 10, 2005 07:45 PM (GMT)
The only Jim Powers I recall seeing is the one who was in WWF from 1986-1994. Mainly used as a Jobber, he had a few years as a tag wrestler with Paul Roma, known together as The Young Stallions. The only significant victory of theirs was the Survivor Series 87 10-Team Elimination Match. Powers wrestled briefly in WCW in 1996 too.
Mad Dog - January 10, 2005 07:46 PM (GMT)
Powers hung around WCW till about 99 I think. Long was his manager for a lot of his run there too. I don't know if he ever appeared on Nitro.
Scrooge McSuck - January 10, 2005 07:48 PM (GMT)
1999? Damn... I saw him on a Nitro or two in 1996, and thats all I remember of him.
prof_plague - January 26, 2005 09:37 PM (GMT)
Barry Horowitz, Brooklyn Brawler, and Gillberg. ...And Scott Taylor, mid-90s, pre-Scotty 2 Hotty.

First you insult Kane, now Gangrel. I've taken all I can stands, I can't stands no more. (slaps you with a glove) I challenge you to a wizard duel.

Losing just about every single televised match in 2000 makes Gangrel a jobber (as much as I like him). Hence, why he was my favorite jobber :D
And I accept your wizard duel, only no cheating!
Scrooge McSuck - January 27, 2005 05:49 PM (GMT)
He won a match... uh... he beat someone on Jakked once, I think. ;) He's more of a JTTS than a flat out Jobber.

LoL. I missed that one.
Yeah, I suppose Gangrel was too cool to ever really be considered a jobber.
::Remembers an episode of Heat where Bradshaw squashed Gangrel and Mideon in a handicap match::
Ouch :(
Scrooge McSuck - January 27, 2005 07:33 PM (GMT)
... I retract my statement. I can understand him jobbing to Undertaker or Kane (or someone like that) in a 2-on-1 advantage, but BRADSHAW?!?! (vomits into a coffee can)

Well, I guess it's okay now that Bradshaw has gone on to be a long-term WWE Champion and all...
But at the time it was disgusting.
Scrooge McSuck - January 27, 2005 08:19 PM (GMT)
Did Gangrel take the fall, or Mideon? (crosses fingers) Please, oh please, oh please...
I also pick Jim Brunzell post-Killer Bees.

I actually don't remember who took the fall, I think it was Mideon, because he was the one with the beef with Bradshaw. The match's story was that Mideon wanted to be a part of the A.P.A. and it wasn't working out so Bradshaw told him to find a partner for a handicap match. Then sure enough, Gangrel and Mideon came out to Gangrel's fancy entrance (and looked freaking awesome and formidable). Then the future JBL came out and destroyed them.
Scrooge McSuck - January 27, 2005 09:58 PM (GMT)
Oh, I remember that angle... sadly.

Yeah, I think it was after "Naked Mideon" somehow failed to get over.

For me, it begins and ends w/ Jose Luis Rivera. The guy lost to anyone and everyone. He even has MSG losses to Rene Goulet, Brooklyn Brawler, and even Barry Horowitz. Here's to ya Jose!
Scrooge McSuck - January 28, 2005 12:45 AM (GMT)
Who could forget the announcement of him? Joseluis~! Rivera.
MillenniumMan831 - January 28, 2005 03:44 AM (GMT)
Followed by his uninspired pose where he just flips his hand up in the air and points to nothing in particular.
