What Makes a Great Jobber?
Before we dive into our list, let's talk about what makes a jobber truly great. A great jobber doesn't just lie down and take the pin; they tell a story, they make the match entertaining, and they make the fans care, even if it's just for a moment. They're the unsung heroes of the wrestling world, and they deserve their props!
The Enforcer Arn Anderson
Kicking off our list is none other than the Enforcer Arn Anderson. Arn was a staple in WCW, known for his work in the Four Horsemen stable. But before he was a four-time World Tag Team Champion, he was a jobber, facing off against the likes of Ric Flair, Sting, and even Hulk Hogan. Arn was a master of the art of jobbing, making every match feel like a fight, even when he was destined to lose. His intensity and skill in the ring made him one of the best jobbers of all time.
The British Bulldog
Next up, we have The British Bulldog. Davey Boy Smith might be best known for his work as a heel in the WWF, but he cut his teeth as a jobber in Stampede Wrestling and early WWF. The Bulldog was a powerhouse in the ring, and he brought that power to every match, even when he was putting over someone else. He was a true professional, and his work as a jobber helped shape him into the star he became.
The Great Kabuki
Now, let's jet set over to Japan for a moment to talk about The Great Kabuki. Kabuki was a staple in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, known for his unique style and his green mist. But before he was a star, he was a jobber, facing off against the likes of Antonio Inoki and Riki Choshu. Kabuki's over-the-top persona and wild style made every match he was in a spectacle, and that's what makes him one of the best jobbers of all time.
jobber hayes
Speaking of unique styles, we can't talk about jobbers without talking about jobber hayes. Hayes, real name Robert White, was a jobber in the WWF in the 80s and 90s, known for his goofy gimmick and his willingness to take a bump for anyone. Hayes was a true jobber's jobber, always ready to put someone over, and always ready to make the fans laugh. His work as a jobber might not have been the most skilled, but it was always entertaining, and that's what counts.
The Brooklyn Brawler
No list of jobbers would be complete without mentioning The Brooklyn Brawler. Steve Lombardi was a jobber in the WWF for over two decades, facing off against everyone from Hulk Hogan to The Undertaker. The Brawler was a master of the jobber's art, always ready to take a bump, always ready to put someone over. And even though he never won a match, he was always a fan favorite, always ready to make the crowd pop.
The Bonus Round: Jobber Teams
Now, let's take a moment to talk about some of the best jobber teams of all time. Because sometimes, one jobber just isn't enough!
The jobber squad
In the early 2000s, WWE had a stable of jobbers known as The jobber squad. Led by the likes of Shannon Moore and Chuck Palumbo, this team was always ready to put on a show, even if it was just to make someone else look good. They were a true testament to the power of the jobber, and their work will never be forgotten.
The jobber army
And then there was The jobber army. Led by the likes of Eric Young and Shannon Moore, this team was a force to be reckoned with. They might not have won many matches, but they always put on a great show, and they always made the fans care. Their work as a jobber team was some of the best in the business, and it's a shame they didn't get more recognition.
