How 'bout Nelson Royal, Denny Brown, Mike Jackson and the mythical Junior
Heavyweight Titles. And whatever happened to that Black Bart character and his
epic feuds with Sam Houston for the vaunted Mid-Atlantic Title(smirk).

TV and at house shows.

jobber named Vernon Deaton. My brother and I had a little Deaton fan club
going every week where we would cheer the inevitable underdog. Well, one
Saturday morning we were watching the TBS show when Deaton was introduced.
Our grandfather was sitting behind us and said, a little surprised, "Hey,
that's Vernon Deaton!" My brother and I yelled, "Of course it's Vernon
Deaton! Go Vernon!" Our grandfather said, "No, you don't understand,
that's Vernon Deaton; he works with me out at Hoechst [a chemical plant
on I-85 between Spartanburg and Gaffney SC]." In spite of our disbelief
that a professional athlete (slight markdom) would have a day job, one
week later we both had autographed 8X10 b/w glossies and an admonishion
not to try any moves at home, as we are still somewhat inclined to do.
While I was always a fan, that cemented Vernon Deaton's place in my heart
as Jobber of the century.

God,it is a DAMNED shame what Dusty and Crockett did to the World Jr. and
Mid-Atlantic titles.Those were 2 of THE most prestigious titles,and they
turned to shit.
Think of all the former Mid-Atlantic and Jr.Hvt champions

Renee Goulet (WWF)
How about Leaping Lanny Poffo? I thought it was hilarious that when
he knew he wouldn't be able to beat the heel opponent, he would recite
a poem about how the feuding face would later take care of business.
His greatest moment has to be that cheasy count-out victory over Hogan
on SNME with Curt Henning's help.
BTW, the Ding Dongs were in the NWA. Were they the Mulkeys in disguise?

Hee hee! I like Black Bart! At any rate, I remember him teaming with Wild Bill Whatshisname in the days of the GWF.

in the South.

Yes, this last point is true ... although it was by disqualification on
"Superstars." It was during the whole Roberts-Martel feud, when Martel
sprayed that "Arrogance" stuff into Jake's eyes. His eyes looked hideous
for weeks afterwards; remember the Brother Love segment where he took off
the sunglasses and looked directly into the camera? Lovely.
Anyway, pertaining to the match itself, Roberts beat the life out of
Stone, and I don't remember if he actually tried to pin him after the
DDT, but he just continually beat on Stone after the bell, and the ref
awarded the match to Stone, if I'm not mistaken.

That could be. All I know is that I only saw him as a jobber in the WWF in
the 1980's.
However, WWF had a sickening habit of making jobbers out of former
superstars. . .or talent that they had no room for at the moment.

Perhaps there is some confusion between Swede Hanson <who?> and Stan Hanson,
who was one of the better heels in the Georgia/NC/Texas circuits in the late
70s and early 80s.

Moondog Rex and Spot (together they were heels,
as singles they were jobbers!)
Speaking of which, can anyone remember when Barry O actually
won a match on WWF Superstars. It was a 6 man tag, and Barry's
heel team won without him actually getting in the ring.

It was Vinnie Valentino. They had him team up in Toronto with Pez Whatley for
a while in a feud with the Grapplers( Denton and Anthony ) during the shows
just before Toronto went WWF in mid 1984 - the end of the NWA era in Canada
for the most part.

What about my all time favorite jobber from the WWF, David Studemyer. I once saw him in a match against Dibiase and he did nothing, except for getting punched in the face a couple times and get put into the Dream.

That guy was a riot! Especially for me, since Dorchester is about 10

looked at him. The Duke fled the scene.
And let's not forget AJ Petrucci! Mean Gene even dogged his ass on All

Rip Hawk and Swede Hansen were definitely one of the top heel tag teams of the
mid-60s. Very big in the South.

No confusion. Swede Hansen was part of a major heel team with Rip Hawk in the
60s - before anybody had ever even *heard* of Stan Hanson.

jobbers(either tag or single) and Jim Cornette would go do commentary
with Ross, Shivone, Crockett, or whoever was announcing and would make
fun of jobbers names? I remember one time they gave Trent Knight the
vegomatic and Cornette yelled,"Good Night, Trent Knight." Well it was
funny at the time.

Brian McNee: the silent one

Sal Ballomo: once lost to Heanan

Cutis Thompson: later Chip the Firebreaker
Mike Jackson: Alabama Junior Heavyweight Champ I have a mark mag that
does a whole spread of Mike in Alabama with his belt
Bad Bob Cook: The original Bad Guy
Some guy who was the master of the Fireman's Carry: OH NO! Not the
devastating fireman's carry
Anyone remember when WCW did a series of "Battles of the Underdogs" on
Saturday Night. It featured two jobbers fighting. The last one was one
was some masked guy with music and everything(the Vindicator or
something) faught a big black guy who I think also wore a mask (El Negro
or something). Anyway the black guy won with a powerslam and the
announcers tried to make it out to be a huge upset, but since no one had
seen the Vindicator before no one cared and there was no pop at all.

Bradley did indeed job but usually got in his somersault elbow smash
before succumbing.
And of course, he does have the honor of not jobbing in WCCW, where he won
the Texas Heavyweight Championship from some muscle-bound stiff called The
Dingo Warrior, who ultimately did pretty well in the WWF :-)

Close...Bob Bradley. Also jobbed in World Class and UWF.. Has the
distiction of losing the Texas Championship (excuse me, Marc Lowrance
mode on: "The *coveted* Texas Heavyweight Championship") to the
Dingo/Ultimate Warrior.
Richard Joseph Rodriguez Jr
with the ZZ top beard and striped tights. I can't remember his name now
(Moondogie?), but he wrestled on the TBS NWA shows every weekend in the

getting the picture now? He even got a small push for a while when the
fans started cheering for him.

This isn't from the 80's, but I was watching a tape with an episode
of WWF SUPERSTARS from 1993 (Post-SummerSlam, Pre-Survivor Series), and
I noticed Marty Jannetty took on a jobber named "Steve Moore."

Lee Scott: He actually got a main event once. He had tagged with Cactus Jack
(this was back when they gave him the last name, Manson). They lost and Jack
beat up Scott after the match. Scott demanded a grudge match the next week. He
attacked Jack from behind looked good for all of a minute, then got squashed.
He later was a referee for a year or two.

Small push?Jimmy Valiant has been around forever,he was the NWA TV champion as
well as the WWF tag champion.

: Here's some more of early '80s jobbers:
: My favorite: Salvatore Bellomo (with his CARTWHEEL move)
: Johnny Rodz
: Joe Mirto
His picture is in the dictionary under "loser"
: Tiger Chung Lee
This guy was a major challenger for the WWF tag titles with Fuji. Any
idea why this angle was aborted and the two of them forced to job to Sgt.
Slaughter in a handicap match?
: Moondog Rex and Spot (together they were heels,
: as singles they were jobbers!)
The Moondogs were jobbers both in singles AND tag competition. Sure they
won a few squashes in tag matches but so do other jobbers.
: Speaking of which, can anyone remember when Barry O actually
: won a match on WWF Superstars. It was a 6 man tag, and Barry's
: heel team won without him actually getting in the ring.
Barry won a few in the WWF. He even defeated Danny Spivey in a space
filler match.

--Interesting that Moondog Spot and Barry O. should be mentioned in the same
post as jobbers who occasionally won. I can remember at least one match
where they teamed together and won (against two lower ranked jobbers).

How about the worst wrestler of all time, the Pillsbury Dough-Boy of the mat,
Mario Mancini. The guy has NEVER made an offensive move in his career. Come
to think of it, another no-move guy was Red Tyler, whose great claim to fame
was once he got knocked around by some heel, and his tights rode halfway up
his ass. Vince and whoever was on mic w/him made moon jokes for the rest of
the match.

He wasn't TV champ when I followed wrestling seriously. I remember him
back when the 4 Horsemen ruled the NWA. Reverend Tully was the TV champ
back then. OK maybe I should have labeled him as a JTTS since no jobbers
have theme music, but he only beat jobbers that I remember. Maybe his
title reigns came either before or after '86-'89?

Jimmy Valiant.
His song was "Boy from New York City." His feud was with former
wrestler-then manager Paul Jones (whatever happened to him). The last
fight that I remember was Starcade '86 where they had a hair vs. hair
match. His tag-team partner, Ragin' Bull Manny Fernandz sold out to
Jones. It was quite funny, but I've seen better angles.

I remember him from Ga. Championship Wrestling back in the late 70s, when he

I remember he got started as a total jobber in Florida NWA in the 70s.
Later, was a titleholder and major figure in independent Georgia circuits.
He had a bullwhip that often found its waay into the ring.

A team called "The Moondogs" were once WWWF Tag Champs, but I think one
of the guys was different.

Dale Wolf- gets mention after his match with roddy piper maybe
five years ago on superstars. piper comes to ring, takes off his kilt
and places it in corner of ring. as piper takes the fans applause
walking around the ring, dale wolf sneaks over, takes his kilt
, puts it round his waist and starts gyrating around in the kilt,
making fun of piper. piper goes ballistic and beats dale wolf up
, match over a second later.

Wasn't it King that was replaced? I remember seeing Spot and Rex team up,
but I've never seen King at all (I started watching in early 1984).

Wasn't "Dirty" Dutch Mantell also one of the short-lived Kansas
Jayhawks during the late '80s?
Also, he belongs with George Steele on the list of "All-time Hairy
Backed Wrestlers"!!!

Yes, that whole series of people jumping ship between Valiant and
Jones (which included Pez Whatley, Manny Fernendez and Baron von
Raschke among others) was a strange thread. But it did spawn the
Paul-Jones-run tag team of Rick Rude and Manny Fernandez, who had some
memorable matches against the Rock'n'Roll Express!

Yes, it was in fact King who was replaced. Mark mags at the time suggested
that he had been killed while chasing a car. ROTFLMAO!

He was also part of that great tag-team era in the NWA,he temed up with
some other Cowboy and called themselves "The Jayhawks"

King had difficulty getting back in to the US, visa trouble, so Spot was
brought in to replace him. Spot, of course, also worked as Larry Latham.

I was under the impression that the substitution was made while they
still had the belts. King had problems getting a passport or something,
and Spot was a last-minute replacement in the championship team.

Williams won the match after resorting to the dreaded "aggressive

Sounds like I could have halucinated it, but I don't think so.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Mantel(one 'l', I think, now known as Uncle
Zebekiah in the WWF) was part of the infamous Desperadoes trio. If Bart
tagged with Bass in WCW, I don't remember it. Mantel teamed with Bobby
Jaggers in 1986-87 as the Kansas Jayhawks, not Bobby Duncum.
