i've seen the word jobber being tossed around alot here lately and i feel some clearing up need to be done about what a jobber really is.

1. a loss does mean a wrestler is jobbing. a match takes at least 2 people to put on and in which there must be a winner and a loser. each wrestler has a role in the match and spots they need to hit at certain times and takes a certain amount of skill to pull off properly. each wrestler must carry his/her own weight in the match to make his opponent and themselves look good and if that means lying flat on your back than it has to be done. would you say the rock jobbed for stone cold and vice versa during there wars?

2.Now a true jobber is somebody that is brought in for a wrestler to showcase themselves and hit there big moves without contest and establish them as a force of dominance in an early part of the career. during the match a jobber will usually hit little more than a few punches and some toe kicks and will hold no advantage at any time during the match. a jobber will usually have no entrance on a televised event and is typically someone you have never heard of. jobbers can usually be seen on the ECW program or on dark matches during raw and smackdown. jobbers were very prominent during the early era of WWF as well.

as a long time fan i felt this needed to be cleared up to those who have abused the term recently as it agravates me seeing names of superstars being labeled as jobbers when they clearly are not

later on folks
