Jobber of the Week Classic: The Easter Bunny

14 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Thu, 24 March 2016, 02:00

This week’s Jobber Of The Week holds the distinction of being the oldest individual to ever make his debut in the wrestling world. And people say Diamond Dallas Page got a late start. Try entering the business at the ripe age of over 500 years old. Yes kiddies, get your Easter baskets ready for one rotten egg of a JOTW. Continue Reading...

In Memory Of Iron Mike Sharpe (1951 – 2016)

18 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Tue, 19 January 2016, 02:47

WrestleCrap was saddened Monday by the news that “Canada’s greatest athlete,” Iron Mike Sharpe, had passed away. When I started our Jobber Of The Week column here at WrestleCrap over twelve years ago, I don’t think anyone was more requested to be profiled than the man with the loaded forearm pad, Iron Mike. Any wrestling fan who grew up in Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: The Shadow

5 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Wed, 24 September 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: WrestleCrap legend, the late Pistol Pez Whatley, throws on the worst Parts Unknown outfit ever and gets pummeled on WCW Saturday Night. After all these years, I’ve learned one thing: wrestling needs more guys named “Pez.” Note from Blade: This Tuesday, one of Wrestlecrap’s most beloved wrestlers sadly passed away. “Pistol” Pez Whatley, age 54, finally succumbed Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: Barry Horowitz

I can’t believe it’s been over two years since I began writing these silly Jobber of the Week columns. Nor can I believe that it’s been almost that long since the most requested prelimmer of all time has been reposted! The year was 1979. While the Bob Backlunds and Harley Races of the wrestling world were busy redefining the word Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: Mr. X

10 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Wed, 03 September 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: Hands down, my favorite jobber ever. Actually, he’s one of my favorite wrestlers of all-time…period. I started JOTW with one goal in mind…to honor him. I’ve profiled a lot of enhancement talent, doing this column every week. We’ve laughed, cringed, and ultimately paid a long overdue tribute to many a curtain jerker here at the Crap. But Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: The Conquistadors

7 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Sat, 02 August 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: Greatest jobber tag-team ever. Stay gold, Pony Boy! In the history of pro wrestling there has been countless masked tag-team menaces. Generic “assassins,” “executioners,” and “gladiators” have filled the sport for decades. There is one team however that will live on in infamy long after all the masked men have hung up their hoods for good. Yes, Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: Frankie Williams

9 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Tue, 22 July 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: First jobber we ever profiled and arguably one of the greatest. Before I made my selection on who would be the first ever Wrestlecrap Jobber Of The Week, I had to be sure my candidate had the right qualifications, so I pulled out my handy guidebook “Requirements To Be A Preliminary Wrestler In The 80’s-WWF Version.” Lets Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: Nasty Ned Brady

5 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Tue, 15 July 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: A look back at one of Mick Foley’s infamous WCW tag-team partners, with candid comments from Cactus Jack himself. Last week, we took a look back to Cactus Jack’s first appearance in WCW, and the total disaster of a time he had with his Jobber Of The Week partner, Rick Fargo. Despite being 100% disappointed and completely Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: The Gambler

9 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Tue, 01 July 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: You can’t think about watching WCW Saturday Night in the 90’s without thoughts of this guy getting squashed on a weekly basis. You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em. Know when to walk away, know when to……get your ass kicked?!? Those aren’t exactly the lyrics Kenny Rogers crooned way back in Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: The Messengers of the Black Scorpion

6 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Thu, 19 June 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: Somebody had to tell the history of all the jobbers that worked under the hood during the Scorpion angle. MIght as well be Scorpy’s biggest fan. It’s hard to believe it’s been fifteen years since the debut of my all-time favorite wrestler ever – and my idol – the Black Scorpion. Ahhhh, seems like it was only Continue Reading...

Jobber of the Week: Sean

7 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Wed, 11 June 2014, 13:00

Note from Blade: While Sean never actually wrestled, his moment of infamy dribbing the ball with Ted DiBiase is BEYOND legendary. It’s springtime again. This means a number of things – warmer weather, fat people wearing tank tops, and oh yeah, the time hoops fans have waited all year for. Two words – Final Four. Caught up in all the Continue Reading...

Jobber Of The Week – Gustavo Mendoza

18 Submitted by Blade Braxton on Sun, 25 May 2014, 12:00

Welcome back to the rebooted Jobber Of The Week column here at the new and improved WrestleCrap. I was sitting back thinking that I really should profile a well-known enhancement talent for the big return. Iron Mike Sharpe? The Mulkeys? Sorry, those guys will have to wait for another day. I’ve been on a Bill Watts’ UWF kick lately. Continue Reading...
