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...
Category Archives: Jobber of the Week
Stick a fork in him – he’s done! The greatest enhancement talent of all time!
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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, 13:00Note 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...
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...
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...
