There was a guy called the itallion Stallion, Tony Garrea toward the end
of his career, and Im not sure if this was WWF or AWA, but Jose Luis
Rivera. Add in a 350-pound red-headed walrus named Rusty Brooks. Matt
Borne, although that may have been the 90's. Goerge Wells.
Mike Sharpe was my all-time favorite
How can anyone forget the Duke of Dorchester!
That guy ruled!!!!

First off, I can't believe you left Steve Lombardi off the list. Then
from there, the Conquistadors (sp??) were a great jobber team. I remember
a match at a house show. It was the Big Bossman against Conquistador #1.
This was before the Bossman was ever promoted by the fed or anything, so I
had never heard of him (though, even at a young age, I knew it was Bubba).
Anyway, I have to say that the match was the best one on the card. For
a while, I actually thought old #1 would pull out a victory.

P.S. Mr. X was Dangerous Danny Davis. What did he do to beat S.D. Jones?

I cannot believe noone has mentioned the best and funniest
jobber....Johnny Rodz....This guy used to climb up to the rope and jump
off for no reason..it was hilarious...I remember seeing this guys for the
frist time on Best of the WWF Volume three tape, he and like Rene Goulet
(another great jobber, especially when he tried to pose) were taking on
the British Bulldogs and he did that top rope for nothing bit, I was
ROTFLMAO....He was just funny, always got his ass kicked, prime jobber..
Corey
Something that can't be repeated here - but it probably involved Pat
Patterson!!!!
He won a few matches when he took his mask off and wrestled as Hart
Foundation ref Danny Davis.
The Unpredictable Johnny Rodz was my favorite but S.D. "Special
Delivery" Jones was right behind him. I recall a few matches were they
actually worked together as a tag team. There was another guy who had
an Italian name and spoke with a heavy Italian accent. I forget him but
he once was the 'guest' on Piper's Pip and Piper spent the entire
segment beating the crap out of him. It was my favorite Piper's Pit.
Boyette WAS the bomb! Remember in UWF 86 when he wrestled Gary Young
and blew an armdrag on TV and KO'd himself by falling on his head?
Charlie
Iron Mike Sharpe, AKA Canada's Greatest Athlete, received a mini-push
toward then-champ Bob Backlund.
Johnny Rodz and Jose Estrada were given a couple of tag title shots and
"almost" won.
Baron Mikel Scicluna may have jobbed late in his career, but he was a
solid WWF mid-carder mostly. He even had a feud with Bruno Sammartino in
the late '60s, I think.
Bob Bradley, of course, went down to VonErichland, and by displaying
superior wrestling talent, won the Texas Heavyweight Championship from a
guy with jobber skills named the Dingo Warrior. (g)
Others never did: Mario Mancini, whose highlight was an attempt to steal
Ted Dibiase's money without getting pinned; Frank Williams, who got
humiliated and then pummeled on Piper's Pit; and the great Pete Doherty,
the Duke of Dorchester, an all-timer in the jobber category.

You can't beat one of my favourites: Techno Team 2000! Those guys
were funny. They appeared once or twice on RAW last year
(early-to-mid 1996). I remember how Vince commented on them being a
potentially decent tag team in the WWF... or some BS like that.

record for eating spaghetti. Something like 2 pounds in 10 seconds or
some such.
The moondogs jobbed a lot... As did SD Jones. I can't remember too many

Goldie was a star in the AWA. Charlie Fulton nearly beat George Wells in
Wells' debut WWF match (it took George nearly 20 mintues to put him away).
Charlie was always touted by the announcers as a "big, rough, tough,
powerful man" who always showed a good account of himself, but never seemed
to be able to beat anybody.
;)
: Mike Boyette
: Snake Brown
Was he the same guy as "Brickhouse" Brown, the jobber who should've been
a champ?
: How about Dusty/Dale Wolf?
He had to change his name to "Dale" when Dusty Rhodes entered the WWF so
that the Humanoids wouldn't confuse the two.
;)
: I cannot believe noone has mentioned the best and funniest
: jobber....Johnny Rodz....This guy used to climb up to the rope and jump

Johnny K-9 did a similar useless gesture at the beginning of the match
where he'd drop to his knees, cross his arms above his head and wag his
tongue like a dog. The first time I saw that, I laughed for days, like
Monty Burns when he recalled how he crippled an Irishman for pleasure
with a bumper car.
;)
The Blazer was the "Flash Funk" of his time. A high flyer with tremendous
athletc moves who could never beat anyone with a name.
;)
: Was'nt Buck Zumhoff(sp?) in the WWF for a while?
A VERY short while and he was a total jobber. No mention was ever made
of his previous reputation and multiple title reigns in the AWA.
Buck's former co-worker, Steve Regal, was also a WWF jobber when AWA ran
into financial trouble.
;)
: Domenic Denucci?
DeNucci retired before he sank that low. It was Frankie Williams.
;)
: There was a guy called the itallion Stallion
You're thiniking of Sal(i)vatory Bellomo. He DOES hold a victory over
Ray The Crippler Stevens.
, Tony Garrea toward the end
: of his career
He tag teamed with just about every jobber the WWF had to offer.
, and Im not sure if this was WWF or AWA, but Jose Luis
: Rivera.
He had a "winning streak" over three other jobbers until he face Greg
Valentine who made him submit to the figure 4 and caused "serious
ligament damage". Rivera also jobbed as one of the masked Conquistadors.
Add in a 350-pound red-headed walrus named Rusty Brooks.
He was hilarious!
Matt
: Borne, although that may have been the 90's. Goerge Wells.
Both were big stars in the NWA!
: Mike Sharpe was my all-time favorite
A former WWF star wh somehow got relegated to low mid-card then jobber
status (probably because no-one could stand him).
;)
The Champion@$$$
The Champion@$$$
Pistol Pez Whatley
I can't beliece that you forgot the great Brooklyn Brawler and Red Tyler.
He spent more on frisbees than he earned as a jobber.
;)
Yeah he was a flabby man of colour. His jobber character was replaced by
Denzel Washington who was the jobber who got paid to fight DiBiase's
match for him and lost to a Frankie Williams-esque jobber and then got
the crap beaten out of him by DiBiase and Virgil.
;)
: There was a guy called the Italian Stallion. It was not Bellomo. I
: can't remember his name right now.
It was Rocky DeLassara. He was a big name in Superstars of Wrestling
hosted by George Cannon and Milt Avruskin which was taped from Sully's
Gym in Downtown Toronto (admission was free -- how did that fed ever make
any money?). The "Italian Stallion" was a serious nickname in that local
fed, but it became a joke when he was hired as a WWF jobber.
After wrestling, he set the world
: record for eating spaghetti. Something like 2 pounds in 10 seconds or
: some such.
:
How about Mike Moretti who was a big star in the National Wrestling
Association in Vancouver as "Moondog" Muretti but had to drop the
nickname so the Humanoids wouldn't confuse him with Moondog Rex or Spot
(it wouldn't do well to confuse one jobber with another).
;)
Not a top jobber, but a pathetic one..
Outback Jack
My personal favorite had to be Brady Boone, a guy with some great
high-flying moves who was supposed to be a cousin of Billy Jack Haynes.
I remember seeing him beaten so brutally that it looked like he has
uncontrollably urinating blood all over his white tights, thus launching
a feud between Haynes and whoever it was who beat the crap out of Boone.
> : > : There was a guy called the itallion Stallion
The Italian Stallion was a jobber for NWA/WCW. Salvatori Bellomo was the
Italian jobber in the WWF. He was best known for his cartwheels that he
did in the middle of the ring before matches.

putz like Hunter (I think that guy lost about 1000 matches in 1988
alone!) against a big team like Demolition or something. Like they ever
had a chance.
Notice they're putting more jobbers on Raw latley!?!??!
