once saw him defeat SD Jones in Melbourne, Australia.

Remember on Championship Wrestling when a new masked guy would rock up to

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

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.

He won a few matches when he took his mask off and wrestled as Hart

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.

Some of those jobbers got some legitimate shots once upon a time.

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.

There was a guy called the Italian Stallion. It was not Bellomo. I
can't remember his name right now. After wrestling, he set the world
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
names right now... Sorry.

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.

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

Monty Burns when he recalled how he crippled an Irishman for pleasure

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

Both were big stars in the NWA!

A former WWF star wh somehow got relegated to low mid-card then jobber
status (probably because no-one could stand him).

There used to be a WWF guy named Charlie Brown (late 70's early 80"s),
who would always get his ass kicked, was on almost every week on TV. He
only won one match.. Does anybody remember him?

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.

: 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).

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.

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.

My favorite jobber of all time (late 80's especially) was:

"After a new exercise and diet regimin and losing 40 pounds, weighing
in at a slim trim 300 pounds...what, I'm sorry...250
pounds...'Playboy' Buddy Rose"

Buddy could really get the crowd going...and could bring a smile to
everybody's face.

I miss watching him.

Ricky Ataki?
Rick Hunter?
Louie Spiccoli? (Damn to remember that one!)

Know what else was funny? When they'd team up guys like Dick Slater or
Sivi Afi, guys who they sorta pushed as "above jobber status" with a
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!?!??!

There's one jobber I ain't gonna forget, and I only seen the guy a few
times. The wrestler was a large individual with the name of Larry
Finnegan. He was teamed up with Barry O to face the champion tag-team of
Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, when those turned were managed by the
recently turned face Captain Lou Albano.
Anyway Finnegan was introduced as being from Norwalk, CT and weighing 355
pounds. O started the match, and Finnegan was outside the ring, in the
dimly lit far corner, while O was taking the usual face moves from the
champions, Vince McMahon who was covering the match made some comments of
the size of Finnegan. When Finnegan tagged in, it became clear to see
that this guy was just large mass of blubbery flesh that wouldn't stop
shaking when he moved. McMahon started sounding like he was being grossed
out. Some of his comments: "That's the biggest piece of garbage I think
I've ever seen!", "He could be wrapped in a Glad bag, give me a break!",
"What a walrus", and "He's leaving stains everywhere!". This "walrus" was
quickly pinned after a Windham bulldog. I remember taping this match in
the summer of '85, and laughed so hard that I didn't tape over this match
for some time.
I didn't see him again until nearly a year later. He was using the same
name and town, but had grown a beard and was now thankfully wearing
wrestling gear that covered completely from the beard down. One of his
matches had him beated by Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff, around the time
Orndorff was going back to being a heel.
Other memorable jobbers from the '80's
Terry Gunn, from somewhere in Ireland.
Barry Hart, beaten dozens of times before winning twice to other jobbers.
Victor Mercado, one of the jobbers beaten by Barry Hart
Ed Tarzan, I think only wrestled once
Dan King/ Robert VanWinkel/ Mark Fabian-- there was only one small, chunky
guy who wrestled under these three names. Trouble was he only had one set
of ring attire.
Terry Morgan-small guy from Canada,
Dennis Cyr- small guy from Quebec with a large pot belly
Sonny Warcloud- Native American who couldn't get a chop in on his
opponent.
Ivan MacDonald- from Scotland, this body builder had to be the worst
wrestler in the ring, slow and clumsy. Once he got whipped into the
ropes, and fell flat on his ass instead of running off like a jobber's
supposed to.

Have I got a memory for this garbage or what? Or is it the old story,
lack-of-life.

I remember Johnny Rodz, while getting ready to wrestle Andre the Giant, was to put on a 'Feats of Strength' exhibition. He was to bend a steel rod and crush a basket ball. Andre came into the
ring, bent thye bar around his neck, and kicked his butt. It was a great jobbers job!
