Jobbers

By Scott Keith on November 4, 2012

Hi Scott,

Here's the real reason they need to bring back jobbers: Back in the day, they were part of the massive kayfabe WWE roster with the rest of the superstars. It gave the illusion that the WWE had hundreds of wrestlers, and that the match-ups you saw on PPV and Saturday Night's Main Event were between only top-ranked wrestlers.

Now, with no such illusion, we're to assume that CM Punk is the best wrestler among, what, 30 or 40 guys? Worse yet, there are twice as many titles to split among them all.

It's all about perceived value, for the titles and the wrestlers themselves.

Very true. Look at how effectively they got Ryback rocketed up the card by having him throw around job guys, for instance. There are literally thousands of indy guys who would die for the chance to go out and put someone over like a million bucks in exchange for a quick payday and an appearance on RAW that they can brag about on Twitter.
