Better Jobber #1
This is an idea I came up with a few weeks ago and mentioned to Destor. Let this be the place where the underappreciated who will never get a fair shake in the better wrestler polls can have their day! At the very least, these should be awesome for nostalgia reasons and ridiculous arguments.
I'm defining "jobber" as someone who has less than a 25% winning percentage with at least 25 matches under their belt. I'm using profightdb to verify these stats. If they're slightly off somehow and there's some technicality that should make them ineligible, I don't care (I'm talking to you, STD). As for what defines "best", that's up to you. You can vote based on who was the blandest, most generic one. You can even vote based on who you think was the better technical wrestler (lol nerd!) AND WE'RE OFF! Who will job in the inaugural "Better Jobber" poll and who will fail miserably at their job by being a winner?!? You decide! El Dandy
vs. Bill "The Goon" Irwin |

To me a good jobber is the guy who makes the prime talent look the best and El Dandy could bump his ass off!

It's a toss up, Dandy has a meme to his name & got to bone Jailbait Lita, but every interview I've seen with Bill Irwin made him look like a genuinely nice guy with a sense of humor about himself, & a mind for the "business" side of the sport.
Bill had the boots that looked like ice skates too. Went with him. |

I didn't watch much WCW at that time so I missed David Flair's career. Just saw that match though. Holy shit. I hope he improved a little from that at least.

He was having his match after being in the business like 2 weeks. And i mean 2 weeks from his first bump ever.

Bill Irwin back in the day was really good. At this point of their careers El Dandy was much better.

I was half expecting David Flair to fall out of the ring by the way he was hitting the ropes.

I was waiting to cast my vote but when My Final Heaven mentioned the internet meme, that swayed me. Being an internet meme has gotta be a big selling point for deciding who the better wrestling jobber is. On the other hand though, I am a sucker for gimmicks.

I may drop the number of matches requirement. I'm realizing I'm gonna leave a lot of legends of our sport out with it.

The week before McGraw died, they did an angle where Piper ddt'd McGraw over and over again. McGraw was stretchered out. People thought Piper actually killed McGraw.

Jones had a mid card push from the late 70's till like 1984. Wasn't a jobber.

Could you call Tito Santana's El Matador persona a jobber?

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be putting up videos.
I'm going with the man not the gimmick for all of these. At least until I start to run out of guys and have to change the guidelines which won't be for a long time. Even so, he didn't job enough as El Matador to really be considered a jobber. |

Yeah, he definitely would have went over the likes of Gill and Horowitz. He was JUST above jobber.

As much as I love the idea of The Goon, I am no one to doubt El Dandy.
Funniest shit to me right now, imagine either of these guy's names at the end of this announcement... "The winner...and NEW WWE Champion..." Haha, fuck off, guys. |

I'm voting for El Dandy but only so he can become part of the mountain of jobbers That Barry Horowitz will be standing on when this is all over.
