Most memorable jobbers; My first thread.

Hey all. I'm trying to get back into e-wrestling a bit (been in and out since 1996), and found this site. Just joined a fed, and looking forward to getting back into things a little.

Anyway, in the interest of generating conversation, who are some of the most memorable jobbers you've faced in your e-wrestling careers? Can be either guys with actual handlers, or those characters who were just in the fed to put over the actual e-wrestlers.

One that sticks in my mind is "Diamond" Jim Shaw. He was a mainstay of places like IWF/WOW, and I think he was in NICW as well. His problem was his flashes had horrible grammar and spelling, although he tried. I remember he tried a gimmick change, "Poseidon", that went nowhere. Probably his best moment was winning a loser leaves town match, and breaking down crying in the middle of the ring.

C'mon people, who are some others?

Back in the day, UEW had The Job Squad...some of the greatest characters to almost never win a match.

Vinny Van Dam, Carnage, Rage, Butch Morrison and Clee Shay.

My God do I miss those guys.

No discussion is complete without talking about HOSE... the UWF's Heroes of Sports Entertainment.

Like Job Holly, Collision Holly, Taurus and The Hollywood Kid... and there's a bunch of others who have been around, but those are the four mainstays.

Me too, Don. I actually miss them more than a lot of the "real" characters.

Altho' we all know who I'd nominate as a "real" character who was little better than a jobber IMNSHO, right?

*cough*Muldoon*cough*

Sorry... just can't seem to let that one go, huh? :)

Well, Clee is my character, you know... and I haven't ruled out trying to run him as a "real" character somehow...


One interesting note is that some time after I took over writing for the Job Squad (which was more or less immediately after Jay left), I mulled over the prospect of using Vinny Van Dam in another fed. I believe it was Rosendorf who adamantly insisted that I shouldn't do that because he wasn't my character (unlike Clee, I didn't create him), and in retrospect I agree with that. Later, I handled VVD competitively for like two weeks, when Tyran booked a 10-man battle royal featuring handlers who had consistency issues, and he wanted me to go all out with VVD so that he'd go over anyone who didn't put out. That was fun. :-)


My all-time favorite episode with them, though, was when someone put a huge bounty on Marcus Manson, and Kevin Diamond suddenly showed up and got the Squad to try and take Manson out for the money... they spent all night trying to set traps for him. That was even funner.

Gotta love CCW's mainstay jobber tag team, The Border Patrol! (The Flying Burrito and La Ultima Cebolla - and yes, that translates to "The Final/Last Onion...LOL)

Victor the Wrestling Mime.

He was based off the mime in Animaniacs that kept having stuff fall on him.
He is actually a decent worker but every time he gets the upper hand he gets
trapped in a box or that damn wind makes him have trouble walking. Lately
opponents have been having fun with his gimmick during squash matches
so at least its working. Supposedly some people still don't like the French.


Homey G.

Homey G was based on Dennis Rodman during the WCW Jay Leno years.
People loved to smack this dude around. Then he became a secondary
character and hired goon to Vik Avatar in the UCWF years, and then went
as far to become a heel ring announcer who had classic thought-provoking
and philosophical catchphrases like: Bitch, got my money, Holmes G, as his
Momma Calls him, and Don't make Homey slap the taste outta ya mouth.
Awesome.


And then any former promoter/handler we mocked by putting their names
backwards or mixing them into anagrams, we still do that to this day. It's
all in good fun. Will you be next??

The NEFW's EMT and Paramedic. They were a jobber tag team that was eventually killed in an accident and cremated just before going up against the NEFW Tag Team Champions.

There's a twist though, as it was determined that the urns containing their ashes still had to appear for their title challenge. When the match began, another tag team ran in and interfered, clocking the champs in the head with the urns and spreading the ashes over them. The ref counted three, and EMT and Paramedic were posthumously awarded the NEFW Tag Team Titles.

Chris "The Best" West, way back in the old days when Eric Lavalle ran DPW. He had a 'legendary' RP that was two lines and at the end he said 'there I rped are you happy?'

Needless to say he jobbed out in his next match and we never saw him again
