Well, you gotta have low level guys and jobbers. Not everyone on the roster is going to get pushes and win their matches, or be groomed to be stars.
There's always gotta be guys collecting checks just to job on superstars, with a very small chance of being used down the line.
You're not going to have guys you want to someday push jobbing on tv. So the role has to be filled by randoms like Joey Mercury and Chris Masters, or old midcard stars like Goldust, Val Venis and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
In a way, they're just as important to the food chain as the main eventers.

Plus I'm sure it's political too. These jobber spots are probably coveted among the guys who haven't made a lot of money in the business, and would like the good check. I'm sure they bring in workers they like, or that somebody in the chain of command likes, and give them the token pay.
I would figure that's why Goldust has been collecting a check in this role off and on for 12 years now.
