Are you pro or anti jobber?
 
They are said to get a mainstream wrestler over, and to fill in missing slots, and to see if there is potential there. Do you like having them around to get their asses kicked or are you sick of seeing them make the mainstream stars look better? Are you a fan of jobber vs. jobber matches, or are you strictly sticking to jobber vs. regularly-televised superstar?

Definitely pro jobber.

I have a feeling Ryback is gonna put his finisher on three of them tonight.

A jobber needs to be built up as a good wrestler who just can't finish the job with the big guys. Like Disco Inferno.

Daniel Bryan would be the perfect jobber. But the WWE continues to try and shove Super Bryan down our throats and please the kiddies in the audience.

yep heth slater needs a job

Calamondin 06-17-2012 12:59 PM

Mostly anti. They don't build up anyone. No one cares if you destroy someone the crowd has never seen before because ever single debuting wrestler is doing the same thing. Watching Ryback destroy 2 jobbers isn't impressive when Brodus and Tensai have done the same thing. An actual feud and beating an opponent people care at least a little about is so much more effective.

RYBACK IS VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!! YOU SHUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH!!!

I'm fine with there being jobbers but they should be used very sparingly at least if a hoss is booked against an enhancement talent it gives them a lot more cred and btw you should poll this.

Jobbers are filler material.

RiX1024 06-17-2012 05:10 PM

a jobber is a good way to introduce new talent or to build up a talent to become a threat.

Nicky Fives 06-17-2012 05:29 PM

pro jobber

Damndirty 06-17-2012 05:38 PM

I wish that all brand spanking new jobbers weren't so damn... small!

Pro-jobber because if it wasn't for the endless supply of wrestlers willing to look really bad for a paycheck, wrestlers like Goldberg and other big stars probably would have had a lot harder time getting over.

Only hate when its over done like how the WWE had for a short where every show contained a Brodus squash, a Tensai squash, and a Ryback squash and felt more like a waste of time than making all 3 look really great. Also when it doesn't really lead to anything long term and the big man or monster type wrestler gets forgotten pretty quickly.

Don't forget Sandow!

I suppose a jobber, by definition, would rarely or never be in contention for a title. Jobbers make the minor title holders look better by providing a bottom tier of wrestlers on which the holders of the least prestigious belts are elevated; the minor titles lose significance if almost every guy on the roster has been shown capable of winning one of them. Also, the use of jobbers reduces unemployment among the pro wrestling community. :y:

I remember in 2003, we went to a WWE house show in Rolla, MO (weird place for it, cuz it was such a small arena), Mr. Perfect went up against a jobber named Brock Lesnar! People in the audience were commenting on how big of a guy Brock was, and were kinda surprised he lost.

K.Smoke 06-18-2012 11:53 AM

yes

Damndirty 06-18-2012 06:16 PM

I used to like watching the Superstars on the local channels, where they had jobbers that actually put on a good match. They had some pretty weird ones too, like Tracy Smothers, and Rob Conway who at the time donned a sort of Scott Steiner attire.
